Why Bundles Don't Fix the Inventory Issue

Bundles are a new type of storage item for Minecraft 1.17 (Caves & Cliffs). Their purpose is to help solve the growing inventory problem, but do these little bags actually help? Let's find out!

@@ikori7912 Terraria had this exact problem of item count bloat, so their solution was to increase inventory size and make what are basically multiple echests. But unlike minecraft echests, there are multiple of them, and once you inventory is full items you pick up automatically go into this extra inventory space. The two items basically triple your inventory space. They're also not exactly hard to obtain, and not single use like echests are (i.e can't be mined without silk touch). A similar solution of echests and shulkers in Minecraft is arguably superior to this, but really hard to obtain, and a lot less convenient. Terraria has also been increasing stack sizes, from 99 to 250 to 999 for a lot of the bulk items like stone and dirt. That's also helped a lot.

I've play tested them, I don't think they were ever supposed to fix the whole inventory thing, just start addressing it. Honestly the main problem with bundles specifically is how hard they are to obtain. This can be fixed without changing the crafting recipe. You can add it to loot tables from structures, give leather workers a bundle trade, maybe even have pillagers occasionally drop one. Either way, we need a backpack. It could be incompatible with chestplates and elytras and be pick-pocketable in multiplayer. (Shift right clicking on a player with a backpack. Kinda like a donkey with a chesy)

Agreed. Change, no matter how beneficial, is almost always controversial especially if it alters the basics of the original design. People who cling to nostalgia and have this fixed perception of _how_ or _why_ a thing is the way it is often have trouble accepting useful changes or additions. You _simply_ deserve a medal cause you're totally right. There is no reason not to increase the inventory size other than it's different from normal, which is no good reason at all.

[@Polygonetwo]

Yeah, that all's my issue with bundles as well. Particularly the inability to compress non-stackable items. They sounded great right up until the stack limit, at which point they just kind of become somewhat underwhelming. It's just another thing taking up space in the inventory, and makes it harder to access your stuff. It's not particularly useful for general use unless you hoard items, as the sort of items you'd want to put in a bundle as-is are the same sort of items you can farm tons of quite easily. Things like mob drops and flowers, which can clutter. The sort of thing a late-game player would just toss out of their inventory unless specifically trying to get it. That said, I *do* think it accomplishes what it sets out to accomplish. It helps you clean up your junk items, in the case you're out exploring and just happen to pick something up you want. Happen across a swamp and want some slime, vines, lily pads, and blue flowers? Cool, now the few you picked up can go into one or two slots instead of four. They don't completely solve the inventory crisis or help with builds, and they aren't easy to access in the slightest because they don't need to be. It's a niche item that solves one aspect of the inventory. I do wish it would hold more of these 'trash' items, something like three stacks would probably be sufficient, but as-is it gets the job done. Not spectacularly, but it does. If it could carry more than a stack, it'd suddenly be useful for early-game builders as well as collectors, and offer a solution to storing more items before you have access to the end at the very end of the late game. For it's clunkiness, that's fine. You aren't meant to store important items in it, just garbage you wouldn't want to use. If it could store more, the clunkiness wouldn't be a problem for most scenarios where you would want to store more than a stack of items, since you'd be safe when accessing such items.

[@calvinjohnson6242]

More compression is NOT the problem. If you need more compression, you use a shulker box. I can’t see a single reason why we would need another item that squeezes more than 64 items into one inventory slot. The shulker already does that. That is the whole point of a shulker. When he talked about what you wanted, he described exactly what a shulker does. Why not use a shulker? I recognize we’re talking about the early game here, but part of the point of the early game is that it’s harder. I don’t really see an “inventory problem.” However, with the increase in items, I will admit that collecting one of each type of flower, or 10 of each variation of wood and stone, can be frustrating. That is where the bundle comes in. It condenses all of that and balances the game back to what it was before we had that plethora of items. Bundles should actually fix a few of the specific examples he mentioned. Though our inventory may get clogged with unstackable items, he didn’t mention that it also gets clogged with stackable items. Instead of combining all the unstackable items into one spot, bundles combine all the small amounts of stackable items into one spot. When the stackable items are condensed, you have more room for the unstackable items. If you get that chest of enchanted books, iron ingots, and pumpkin seeds, you no longer need to throw the pumpkin seeds away. You stick them in a bundle with the iron. That’s the point. I think that’s where he kind of missed the mark with his analysis. He focused on what the bundles can’t do and didn’t talk about what they CAN do. But he is right that accessibility is absolutely the problem. You should be able to right click on a bundle and open up your inventory and the bundle menu as if you had just opened a chest. Incredibly easy fix. The way bundles are implemented right now is unusable. Not because of the concept, but because of the unnecessarily frustrating mechanics.

Here's some ideas I have for inventory [Light] - Satchel. The satchel is a small pouch bag that would be suited to early explorers or those who prefer to run a light load. Since they are small they don't effect your speed. [Medium] - Ranger sack. The Ranger sack is built for more experienced players. It provides more inventory capacity than the satchel, and you can attach a torch to it to provide light around your person. It will slow you down a small bit. [Heavy] - Journeyman sack. The journeyman sack is the largest of all of them. It will slow you down more than the Ranger sack but provide the highest capacity. This balances it out because you have to consider if you want to risk abit of momentum in exploration and combat in exchange for a large inventory increase. Being the largest sack, you can attach both a torch and another object on the side of it, like say a pickaxe or shovel. - all these would be worn on your person. It'd have it's own personal slot among those of the armor and shield slots. The satchel would be on your hip in the aesthetic of your character. The other two would be backpack type things. They also would be made of common materials with not much usage. Leather, wool, rabbit pelts etc. The rabbit pelt would provide the smallest condition level for a sack, but be the most common, and pair nicely with the satchel. The wool would provide a higher level of condition, and the leather would be the strongest. Also zombie flesh could be used as well since it doesn't really do anything. And perhaps if you used zombie flesh it could provide you more protection against zombies(and their subtypes) as a passive effect. Also for survival and hardcore game modes, you could remove individual played inventory. So you'd only get extra inventory slots(other than the ones for armor and weapons/tools) if you used one of these things. This would increase the difficulty as some have wanted, but also make the game more immersive. Peaceful/Creative players of course would still have the regular inventory. Just some ideas.

[@t-rex1959]

If they improved and added the bundle(can store unstackables) it would be so great, you'd storing all your extra tools, imagine having your Shears, Lava Bucket, Fishing Rod, Flint and Steel, Axe, Shovel, all in one inventory spot. They could also add an item that adds another hot bar, and item that adds more inventory space, MAYBE they could add a unique chestplate enchantment *backpacking* that would give you more inventory space.

The main inventory problen is mentioned early in the video; all the unstackable things you have to keep on you. An average 'empty' inventory looks like this: - 2 pickaxes (silk & fortune) - axe - shovel - bow - arrow - sword - water bucket - bed - torches - Gold armor piece for nether - chestplate because you're wearing your elytra - crafting table - ender chest - food - rockets - scaffolding blocks This totals 17 slots being taken up by things you basically need on you. THAT'S the problem. A lot of players also keep the most used crafting items on them too: wood, sticks and iron A backpack to always keep on you and micro manage between chestplate and elytra would only take up 1 extra slot and be anoying

[@arie8515]

I tried optimizing my inventory so I shaved off some slots, but since I play hardcore I also need some stuff most other people don't.... so now my 'empty' inventory looks like this: -2 picks - axe - shovel - smite sword - bow - arrow - enderchest - totem of undying - backup elytra - rockets - food - crafting table - fire resistance potion My ender chest for semi easy access: - gold helmet - chestplate - extra totem - sharpness sword - shield - obsidian - flint&steel - hoe

There are two cogent arguments here: that unstackable items are a pain, and that accessible long-term inventory management becomes more difficult as Minecraft introduces more essential tools. Bundles aren't meant to address either of these things, which is why they don't. But discussing what they *don't* do distracts from how practical they are for organisation in a Survival world. It's not about storage, it's about using inventory space more efficiently. At Minecraft Live, Ulraf explained they're looking at inventory as a series of separate problems, not one big problem - he mentioned hotbar management there, along with the issues of maximum capacity and sheer variety (the latter of which is what Bundles aim to help with). They know introducing more items is going to exacerbate player inventory management, but piling additional features into bundles would end up misleading the community into thinking this was the *only* feature Mojang plans to introduce to improve inventory management, at which point bundles look like a compromise, not a specialized feature. Inventory creep was already an issue in modded Minecraft, but you rarely see widely adopted player inventory expansion mods. Why? I suspect it's because additional inventory slots only delay the problem. Playing Stardew Valley, I buy both the backpack upgrades... and I still run out of space when I go mining. Sooner or later, the player has to take an active role in managing their own inventory; Bundles actively encourage players to do that.

I don't think that the issue that bundles deal with is the one that the Minecraft community really had a problem with though, sure they do make what inventory space we do have more efficient but what they don't do is address the major issues that impact gameplay. To me at least, the number of items is a minor annoyance that's dealt with quite quickly by just planning where to store things, whereas not having enough active inventory space for tools, building blocks, food, and the like actively makes playing the game harder with little to no way to manage it (at least early on).

If there is one thing I have learned from my years of video games, its that simply giving more inventory slots will never fix the problem. No matter what, you will never have enough slots and will constantly be running out. Backpacks, expansions, all of those in any game are never enough as you acquire more and more "Must Haves". And besides, the bundle was never meant to solve the issue all on its own. There isn't just one inventory issue, the devs are splitting it up into multiple issues to tackle one at a time.

Okay but, taking it to the extreme : Only one inventory slot. There you can see that having more space is at the very least useful if not mandatory for the game to be enjoyable at all.

The one thing that makes bundles annoying is how they aren't exactly intuitive with removing, putting in, and ultimately using the items inside of them. As it stands, bundles are at the moment, "junk bins". A place for items you want, but need compacting. I do like this idea and would be very useful for adventures. However, a well managed shulker box filled ender chest usually tackles this problem that typically I don't have a need for such an item. Now don't get me wrong, the current mechanic for bundles already has quite a few creative uses for a variety of things. But one thing I think can improve the bundle is to be able to directly use what is inside of it. For example, say you have a variety of food in a bundle (steaks, bread, cookies, etc.) right clicking the bundle should allow you to eat a random item inside the bundle instead of dropping everything inside. Another example, multiple tipped arrow types, right clicking you bow with the bundle in your offhand should shoot a random arrow at a time. Another is block placing, a mix of stone and cobble (or whatever) in a bundle should allow you to randomly place a mix of blocks for a build. This I believe would most definitely help bundles tackle the so called inventory problem, not just a means of storing random items but also a means of storing better and more compact items you have taken for your journey and being able to use them effectively.

@Abbey Geiger For some players, yes, the shulker box is completely an endgame item, for others it's not a big deal to take down the dragon and journey a large distance to get them. However, that's not quite the point. Shulker boxes are inevitably going to end up in a player's possesion. If bundles are to remain as they are right now as simply a multistack item storage (limited to 64 items mind you), it is unlikely that many players will continue to use bundles once they get shulker boxes as it's simply easier to use. What I propose is to make bundles more actively usable and allow the items inside to be used and interacted with more easily. As I said earlier, bundles already have many possible uses associated with them, however, if they did introduce an item that did similar to what I proposed, then that item, and not bundles, are most likely what players will use and consider having in their standard adventure kit.

Also, no reason why backpacks and bundles can't coexist. Backpacks may add another few inventory spaces that can be accessed while you're wearing it, but would be limited to only carrying one at a time. At any point, any number of inventory spaces will be too few for most people. Bundles are an optimization solution, where backpacks are a bit more of a blunt force solution. Too few spaces?

Shulker boxes are great, but they are extremely late-game, and can be kind of annoying to interact with over and over again. Sure, bundles are great for exploring, but in any other scenario, they are extremely limited. By improving the amount of space they can hold or even making it so that they're easier to interact with, even medium-sized builds aren't as gated by the lack of inventory space.

So why not just make the bundle that solution? The bundle is already flawed in how it works, but if its improved on in the ways sarc says, it damn near fixes the inventory issue as a whole. Why wait to fix it and leave a flawed mechanic in the game rather than using the tools they themselves created to fix it right here and right now

[@testerwulf3357]

Bundles can be quite useful if you use the right! They can hold random singular (or very tiny stacks of) items so your inventory isn't filled with things like "2 wool, 4 poppys, 6 rotten flesh, 5 bones" and all kinds of things you don't need at the current moment but want on you. I could also use them for collecting flowers which is something I'm known to do..I also tend to have many slots of less than a stack of items so compressing those into one would be so great for me; I always have like half an inventory of items in a stack of 10 or less which makes me unable to collect more as all the stuff I have fills so many slots but not fully. It doesn't 100% solve inventory issues but I think it's a great start, normally by end game you have shulker boxes which are enough normally but bundles are like a cheaper early game solution. I never really get the point where I can use shulker boxes so having an early version of them (bundles) would be nice.. I do agree though that bundles holding more than a stack would be very welcome to me! Making unstackables be able to be in bundles would also be a welcome change to me. Being able to open them in hand would also be cool but I'm not super against it never being added.

I just don’t understand the issues with inventory still, it’s never been that bad like ever, personally over the last 10 years of playing Minecraft it just keeps getting more storage items such as ender chests and shulker boxes, and less used like mine cart chests and storage lamas but yet people still have issues with Minecraft storage 😣, it just like whyyy, you can hold like 46,656 blocks in a ender chest with shulker boxes and even then you can have roughly 702 unstackable items in a set up like this so why do we need any more storage, even now a days we have bloody double chests and that’s a privilege compared to Minecraft years ago and stackable food, just saying that the inventory may feel bad but in all seriousness it’s way better then most games

[@wesleyer9380]

@@kombatdoesgames storage becomes more and more of an issue as the list of items becomes more diverse. Yeah way back when I started you only needed a few chests to hold your wood and stone, but there was only stone and maybe 3 types of wood. Now we have four types of stone, and all the wood types have slabs and unique fences. There’s 20 different kinds of flowers. If you want to decorate or make a complex design in your build, the block types add up really really fast. Shulkers are great, but late game. If you don’t want to fight the boss, they aren’t an option at all. So you either carry what you can fit to work on your build, or take the time to transport everything to new chests where you’re building. That’s why something like bundles are so helpful. They can make the difference between not quite enough space to fit everything to just enough. Not to mention how handy it is when you’re mining and have a full inventory.

Bundles are so useful, just today for the cave update I had like 3 glow ink sacks, 20 of the new cobble, and 3 stalactites. being able to put it in a single bundle would be so helpful. Also the basic everyday inventory you showed HAS AN ELYTRA that means you have access to shoulder boxes. And by adding the extra slots, it kinda denies resource management. And you do get rewarded for having the bundles, now anything that you found and want to keep doesn’t have to be thrown away, those pumpkin seeds are now yours.

although this is an old video now, i have recently been playing with the bundle in survival, Tbh the biggest problem with the bundle is the rabbit hide.

[@Johnson_2022]

You are right about bundles although I don't think conventional backpack mods (turning one slot into a chest) are the answer either. This is because backpacks in most applications just end up crowding the hot bar leading to less ready access space. They also necessitate a lot of moving items back and fourth between menus, which gets quite labourius. A better solution in my mind would be to add a tool belt. This would be an equable item that provides an adtional hotbar with only a few slots which you can switch back and forth from with a hot key. This being intended to free up the main hotbar to allow more items to be accessed menu free. Very useful for two of the major types of players. Builders (can have a wider verity of block easily to hand) and PVPers (can increase the complexity of their load out). Making it an equipable item also means those that like the current setup aren't burdened by it. You could also add a wearable backpack in the chestplate slot for those that really need the extra storage. Such as Adventures and nomads. It just being a direct extension of the inventory using the same menu balanced by not being able to wear a chestplate, which fits with the current trend of sacrificing armour for utility. Both of these things have been done in mods since 1.6.4 so the concept has been proven to be possible from a technical stand point.

@@arkdirfe indeed. Using 4 leather to craft a backpack that goes into a back accessory slot and can be opened with V, shifting item back and forth like a chest, providing an extra 1-3 rows of storage... This is pretty much the most basic extended inventory mod. No need to go crazy like a compactstorage backpack with a what, 23x17 chest on your back? Or a dank/null/, holding up 2 billion each of however many block types with auto collection... There are a lot of balance destroying mods for sure, but there are some excellent examples of things that could be vanilla, and arguably should be vanilla. A simple hotkey backpack with a couple extra rows of inventory space is a perfect example.

[@gabehere]

Yeah, but that doesn't matter, because 1) most people (me included) play without mods, generally, except graphical ones. 2) you're forgetting about the Bedrock install base that is like, over 60% of all concurrent minecraft players now and doesn't have mods.

Thing is Mogang doesn't want to have to resort to mod ideas, it's just part of their ideology (ik they added like 12 mod things but like that's a very small number of things, and most were added before 1.8), so backpacks probably won't be added at all, I think just making the inventory 9 slots or 18 slots bigger would solve the problem and it wouldn't be op cause it's not in relation to anything, it doesn't make shulkerboxes worse(it actually makes them even better) and it also doesn't make the echest useless

[@TheSpeep]

I feel like the main sort of item the bundle would work for are, like you said, items you dont tend to carry a full stack of, such as throwable or unstackable items like ender pearls or tools. Aka the exact type of items youd want on your hotbar, ready for immediate use at all times. The only point in the game where I can see it working for that is relatively early game when you dont have full diamond/netherite gear and thus may need to carry a few spare stone/iron pickaxes. Except in that case, just carrying the pickaxes thmselves will open up new slots as you min and fill up your bag because they break, while th bundle keeps taking up that space, and if you just carry some wood or sticks instead (which youll also need for torches anyway) and then use the stone/iron/diamonds you find while mining, you can still fit far more pickaxes while arguably taking up no extra storage slots anyway. The only problems that bundles really manage to solve are ones we already have better and more intuitive solutions for, that dont require hunting down a bunch of relatively rare rabbits for an item youll end up abandoning later on anyway.
