Minecraft 1.21.2 - Bundles Of Bravery Is Here: Part 1 Blocks & Items

Introduction

Welcome to another Minecraft update overview! Today, we’ll be diving into the exciting new features in the latest Minecraft update, 1.21.20, particularly for Bedrock Edition. This release is substantial, with numerous changes and additions in both Java and Bedrock Editions. In this article, we'll focus on the blocks and items, saving gameplay, miscellaneous, and mob changes for a later discussion.

New Block and Item Features

Bundles

Bundles have made their debut in this update and are significantly easier to craft. You only need one piece of string and one piece of leather to create a bundle. The bundles can now come in every die color, similar to shulker boxes, offering 16 color options.

Using Bundles

• Players can insert items into bundles by right-clicking instead of the previous method.
• The bundles now display up to eight items at a time, although it seems that a ninth item can also be displayed.
• Previously, right-clicking to extract an item would drop the entire contents; now, it only drops the selected item.
• If trying to add a non-stacking item when the bundle already holds items, an air sound will be emitted.
• Bundles have polished animations and offer additional utility improvements.

Item Rarities

One of the more visually impactful changes is the introduction of item rarities. This feature alters the text color of items in your inventory, helping players identify rare items more easily. For instance, chainmail armor and certain operator items have distinct color codes assigned to indicate their rarity.

Redstone Block Updates

The update has also brought changes to Redstone blocks, including fresh models for:

• Redstone Torch
• Redstone Comparator
• Redstone Repeater

These new models have generated a positive reception, with opinions shifting following the initial changes.

Beehive Statistics

Beehives now come with a description of their statistics, revealing how many bees and how much honey they contain. This feature is especially useful for players who want to manage their beehives effectively.

Other Block Changes

• Slime Blocks: They no longer deal damage when sneaking.
• Shulker Boxes: Players can no longer dye them the same color to prevent confusion.
• Banner Patterns: New patterns, such as Border Indented and Field Masoned, can now be used effectively for banners.
