Description

A Purple Bundle is a purple-dyed storage item that packs a whole stack's worth of mixed items into a single inventory slot. The crafting recipe is shapeless: a Bundle of any color plus one purple dye yields one Purple Bundle, and the plain Bundle itself is crafted from one string placed above one leather. Capacity follows stack sizes: an item that stacks to 64 fills 1/64 of the Purple Bundle, an item that stacks to 16 such as an ender pearl fills 1/16, and a non-stackable item like a sword fills all 64 units. A mixed load of 32 sticks and 8 ender pearls adds up to exactly 64.
Purple Bundle works as a quick loot sorter: hover to see every stored item sorted by recency and a fullness bar that turns from blue to red when full, and scroll the mouse wheel to highlight an item before right-clicking to move the item to the cursor. Using a Purple Bundle selected in the hotbar throws the most recently added group of items in the direction the player faces. One Purple Bundle even fits inside another bundle, where the nested bundle consumes 1/16 of the outer bundle's space plus the space of the nested contents; shulker boxes follow the opposite rule and never fit inside bundles, while bundles fit inside shulker boxes. Sixteen dyed bundle colors, Purple Bundle included, shipped with the Bundles of Bravery drop in Java Edition 1.21.2 and Bedrock Edition 1.21.40. A dyed bundle never accepts the same color twice.

Guide

How to craft and use a Purple Bundle in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Craft a plain Bundle

    Place one string in the top-middle cell of a crafting table and one leather directly below it; the plain Bundle appears in the output slot.

  2. 2

    Dye a Bundle purple

    Put a Bundle of any color and one purple dye anywhere on the crafting grid; the shapeless recipe outputs one Purple Bundle.

  3. 3

    Fill the Purple Bundle

    Open an inventory screen, pick up a stack of items with the cursor, and left-click on the Purple Bundle; the items slide inside.

  4. 4

    Browse and retrieve items

    Hover over the Purple Bundle, scroll the mouse wheel to highlight an item, and right-click to move the highlighted item to the cursor.

  5. 5

    Empty the Purple Bundle quickly

    Hold the Purple Bundle in the hotbar and use it: the most recently added group of items flies out in the direction the player faces.

Bundles inside bundles

One Purple Bundle fits inside another bundle and consumes 1/16 of the outer bundle's space plus the space of the inner contents. Shulker boxes never fit inside bundles, while bundles fit inside shulker boxes.

Frequently asked questions

How many items does a Purple Bundle hold?

Purple Bundle holds one stack's worth: 64 items that stack to 64, a mix such as 32 stack-64 items plus 8 stack-16 items, or a single non-stackable item.

How do you craft a Purple Bundle?

Combine a Bundle of any color with one purple dye in a shapeless recipe. The plain Bundle itself is crafted from one string placed above one leather.

Can a Purple Bundle be dyed again?

Bundles can no longer be dyed the same color twice, so a Purple Bundle cannot turn purple again but can still take another color.

Which version added the Purple Bundle?

Sixteen dyed bundle colors, Purple Bundle included, became official in Java Edition 1.21.2 and Bedrock Edition 1.21.40 with the Bundles of Bravery drop.

Does a Purple Bundle stack with other bundles?

Bundles are not stackable, but one bundle fits inside another bundle and takes 1/16 of the outer bundle's space plus the contents.

Can a shulker box go inside a Purple Bundle?

No. Shulker boxes cannot be placed inside bundles, while bundles can be placed inside shulker boxes.
