1.21.30.3

In this week’s changelog, villagers can finally sleep soundly, foxes are getting a parity change, and we’ve got bundles of information about – bundles, which are now available as an experimental feature for all Bedrock players! Villagers will no longer make idle sounds when sleeping (they’re asleep, after all!) and adorable foxes across the Overworld will be waking up with the same amount of health (10!) as their Java counterparts. If that wasn’t enough we’ve also implemented some bug fixes, made parity changes, and more.

Your thoughts on the game continue to shape new updates so please upvote and report any new bugs at bugs.mojang.com and leave us your feedback at feedback.minecraft.net.

Experimental Features

Bundles

A Bundle is an item that lets you stack different blocks or items together in the same inventory slot. Different items normally don’t stack together, so you can end up wasting space by only having a few items in each slot. A Bundle lets you pack those items together so there is no wasted space.

• Bundles are an experimental feature - to use them, you must turn on the Bundle experiment when creating a new world

  • Please note: Bundles are still being polished in the Preview and Betas with bug fixes and tweaks, so you might spot some slight differences in this experimental version!

• A Bundle is an item that can pack different items together into the same stack

• A Bundle only fits one stack (usually 64 items) but it can be a mixture of many different item types

• You can insert items into a Bundle directly in the inventory

• Bundles have a tooltip that shows the items inside

  • The tooltip fits 3 rows and can always show at least 8 item types

• You can select any of the visible items to pull out of the Bundle

  • Use the scroll wheel on mouse, the right stick on a game controller, or tap on a touch device

• When selecting an item to remove, the Bundle icon shows that item poking out of the Bundle

• When holding a Bundle in hand, you can empty it onto the ground

  • In the latest Beta & Preview version, when a Bundle is used in the hotbar, one group of items is emptied at a time instead of everything being emptied at once

• The Bundle is crafted with one String above one Leather

• Bundle recipe is now unlocked by obtaining Leather or String

• Known Issues:

  • When moving items on touch devices, the wrong item icon may appear briefly
  • Bundles put in Decorated Pots, given to an Allay, or moved through Hoppers and Droppers may lose their contents
