How to dye bundles in Minecraft

Minecraft is finally getting bundles that were announced years back and players are quite excited for the release. Bundles perfectly fill the space between utility and requirement, which the shulker box failed to do, as you can only get it when you reach the End dimension at a late stage of the game. Thankfully, Mojang Studios has made crafting bundles quite easy and cheap. The recent snapshot has made them even better with the ability to dye these items.

In this article, we will be looking at how you craft and dye bundles and also why this simple addition is a powerful one to the bundles. First, let’s get to the dyeing process.

The process of dyeing the bundles is quite easy. All you need to do is take the bundle, place it in the crafting grid, and then add the dye of your choice. That’s it, the output box will show the dyed bundle. There are 16 colors to choose from, and the coloring process works exactly like dyeing a shulker box.

This is a great feature to have as bundles are required mostly for keeping different items and the ability to color-code them makes sorting them easier. While there is no sorting system in the game, the colored bundles can work somewhat like it until Mojang Studios adds something similar.

To dye bundles or anything for that matter, you need to get dyes in Minecraft. Thankfully, they are not so rare like diamonds or the heavy core block. Dyes can be obtained from various sources such as flowers of different colors, bone, ink sacs, cacti, etc. Most dyes can be obtained by obtaining flowers and placing them in the crafting grid.

Finally, coming to the process of building bundles, making them is very simple. All you need to get are strings and leather. Strings can be obtained by getting cobwebs and then crafting them using the crafting table. Leather can be obtained by killing animals such as cows.

In the crafting table, place one string and one leather and that’s all you need to make the bundles. This easy recipe ensures that you can get the bundles early on in the game, like chests. Minecraft Bundles can be placed in your inventory even if they contain different items inside them. They are similar to a shulker box but much easier to obtain.
