How To Create Bundles In Minecraft 1.20 (2022)

The lack of inventory space has always been one of the most annoying things in Vanilla Minecraft. After exploring the world for hours, players would usually run out of slots to store their loot. Before 1.20, the only way to save the items is to put them in a chest on a donkey or use Ender Chests that can connect to each other. However, with the arrival of 1.20, we are going to get the new bundle feature - with it, players can expand their storage with ease.

In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase how to create bundles in Minecraft 1.20 snapshots.

About Bundle in Minecraft

Currently, bundles are only available as an exclusive experimental feature in Minecraft 1.20 Java Snapshots. Their mechanics are subject to changes during the Bedrock release and later stages of development. They have been revealed for quite a while now, ever since Minecraft Live 2020.

Bundles In Minecraft — From empty to full

Bundles are pretty much chests that you can carry in your inventory. With every bundle in your inventory, you will get up to sixty-four bundle storage cells or one stack storage slot. However, unlike your own inventory, the storage mechanics of bundles is a bit different.

Minecraft bundle storage mechanic

A bundle adds 64 stackable slots for stackable items and a new single slot for non-stackable items. However, the size of the item inside the bundle is based on its stack size. An item with max stack 16 will take 4 slots while an item with max stack 64 will take 1 slot.

Storage Options In A Bundle Of Minecraft — storage mechanic

Example:

If you put any non-stackable item (potion bottle, weapon, tool...) inside it, the bundle is full and you can't place anything else.
If you put 32 sticks (max 64 in a stack), the bundle would be 50% full. Afterward, you can only put 8 ender pearls (50% of a 16 stack) into the bundle.

This means it is only for storing stackables - the overall carrying capacity of players would be the same, it is just that they can carry a bigger variety of items now.

How to use Bundles in Minecraft

Players have to use bundles are manual items. They don't work like chests or player inventory.

Just left-click to select a bundle then right-click an item to store them or right-click an empty slot to dump items out of the bundle. The item that was picked last will come out first, following a stack order.

Just place rabbit hide in each cell of the bottommost row of the crafting area and one string in each corner of the topmost row of the crafting area. Afterward, fill the rest of the slots (except for the center) with rabbit hides.

Strings can be obtained from spiders. Rabbit hides drop from rabbits spawn in the desert, snowy, and taiga biomes.
