What comes with the update?

The Bundles of Bravery update adds bundles and Hardcore mode to the game. They are perhaps the most exciting addition to Minecraft in a long time. Players have been asking for something similar to the shulker box, and bundles work exactly like them but are easier to make.

Unlike the shulker box, which is only obtainable late into the gameplay, the bundles can be easily crafted using just some leather and strings. Since the bundles are also dyeable, you can make different-colored bundles to organize items. For example, all your redstone items can go into a red bundle, while all the metal items can go into gray or black bundles.

Apart from bundles, Hardcore mode was also added to Bedrock Edition. You can also try this mode on Realms servers. For the unversed, this mode works just like the regular survival mode, but once you die, you will lose all your progress, making the game more challenging.

Keep in mind that the developers have mentioned two possible issues with the Hardcore mode that may arise due to low internet speed and transferring the Creative world to the Hardcore world. Make sure to keep a backup of your world in case something goes wrong.
