Bundles are making a comeback

Test the newest iteration of bundles today

Bundles are making a comeback! Like bucket hats and other Minecraft-adjacent clothing items, bundles were first in fashion in 2020 when we put a very early iteration into testing. However, we quickly found that even though crafting them was very simple (only two ingredients required!), implementing them was a little trickier. But we still loved the idea of filling our inventories with bundles – especially as they make it easier to collect more blocks and items as you explore your Minecraft worlds. That’s why we’re working hard to get them implemented later this year – and why we’ve brought them back into testing.

Please help us make bundles a 2024 fashion statement by testing the newest iteration of this item – available for testing now in Minecraft: Java Edition snapshot and for the first time in Bedrock Edition beta and preview. And if you’ve tested bundles before, read on to discover what we’ve changed!

Bundles of fun!

What are bundles?

 

A bundle is an item that can hold other items! Eager to test this new concept of stuffing stuff into other stuff, I grabbed my trusty rucksack and tried to squeeze 64 cobblestone blocks into it. Unfortunately, that functionality is reserved only for bundles – which allow you to store up to 64 of an item (provided it can be stacked to 64!).

But what makes bundles so brilliant is that they can also combine half-stacks of items together. So suddenly those three different types of flowers, four blocks of wood, and countless carrots can all find a home together in your bundle and stop filling up your inventory. Yippee!

As someone who often looks in my increasingly-chaotic inventory and asks: does this spark joy? Bundles also offer a new way to organize and optimize all the tools, blocks, and items you need with you on your Overworld adventures. Plus, the newest version of bundles makes it easier to add, view, and remove items. Back in the old days, you had to remove the last item stack you put in first. Not anymore! Now you can scroll through the items in your bundle and choose which stack to pull out. Another reason why they’re better than IRL rucksacks! Take that, reality.

And removing items is easier, too! Now you can scroll through the items in your bundle and choose which stack to pull out.

Crafting bundles just became easier

 

Bundles are also a lot easier to craft than IRL rucksacks. I’ve never tried to make my own rucksack, but I imagine it would take more than two ingredients. And possibly some skill? Luckily crafting a bundle is much more accessible – as the crafting recipe now only requires leather and string! Good news for rabbit lovers (but possibly bad news for cows, donkeys, horses, mooshrooms, llamas, and mules...)

Oh, and if you’re more of a “throw everything on the floor” than a “carefully extract the item I need” kind of person, then you’ll also be happy to hear you can eject items directly out of your bundle by using the right-click function, so they hover on the ground in front of you! Eager to finish the competition of bundles vs. rucksacks that no-one asked me to do, I immediately put this to the test – and tipped everything in my rucksack out onto the floor in the Mojang kitchens! Right in front of the kettle. At prime tea-making time.

Oddly, instead of saying “wow, what a great feature” people told me it was “a tripping hazard”, and to “stop leaving my stuff everywhere”. I think that makes the final score: Bundles 3 - Rucksack 0!

We want bundles to beat rucksacks everywhere to be implemented later this year, which is why we want your help in testing this latest version – out now in Java snapshot and for the first time in Bedrock beta and preview. Please send us your feedback, and as always – report any bugs to bugs.mojang.com!

Can I report that my rucksack is now incredibly disappointing compared to bundles? Where is the link for that?
