Minecraft snapshot 24w35a patch notes: Bundle improvements, raid changes, and many bug fixes

It's another Wednesday, and as expected, Mojang is back with a brand new Minecraft snapshot for Java Edition. The latest snapshot, 24w35a, brings further improvements to bundles, changes to pillagers and illagers during raids, and numerous bug fixes.

Players will no longer be able to use the number keys on their keyboards to select items in a bundle. This change was made with expert players in mind, as they often use the number keys to better manage their hotbars. Additionally, bundles can now store more than 10 different items, making this feature less useful.

Let's go through the complete patch notes for Minecraft snapshot 24w35a to find out about all the new changes and fixes.
