Description

Red Bundle is the red-dyed version of the Bundle, a storage item that packs up to one stack's worth of mixed items into a single inventory slot. Crafting a Red Bundle takes one plain Bundle and one Red Dye in a shapeless recipe, while the plain Bundle itself needs one String above one Leather in the 2×2 crafting grid. Before snapshot 24w33a, a Bundle cost 2 String and 6 Rabbit Hide instead. Space inside the Red Bundle is counted in 64 bundle slots: an item stacking to 64 takes one slot, an item stacking to 16 such as an egg takes four, and an unstackable sword consumes the entire Red Bundle. A mix of 32 sticks and 8 eggs fills the 64 slots exactly.

A Red Bundle works from the inventory screen: left-click items onto the Red Bundle to insert them, right-click to lift the most recently added item back out, and scroll while hovering to select a specific item first. Using the Red Bundle from the hotbar throws the most recently added items in the direction the player faces. The fullness bar under the icon stays blue while free space remains and turns red with a Full warning at 64 occupied slots. A Red Bundle even nests inside another bundle, taking 1/16 of the outer bundle plus the room the contents need; shulker boxes, however, never enter a bundle. A Red Bundle destroyed by fire or a cactus drops the whole stash as loose items, exactly like a broken shulker box. With 16 bundle colors available, the red tint marks a dedicated stash at a glance.

Guide

How to craft and use a Red Bundle in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Craft a plain Bundle

    Place 1 String above 1 Leather in the 2×2 crafting grid to yield 1 Bundle; skip this step when a Bundle already sits in the inventory.

  2. 2

    Dye the Bundle red

    Put the Bundle and 1 Red Dye into the crafting grid together — the recipe is shapeless, so positions do not matter — and collect 1 Red Bundle.

  3. 3

    Fill the Red Bundle

    Open the inventory, pick up items with the cursor, and left-click the Red Bundle to load them; picking up the Red Bundle and left-clicking the items works too.

  4. 4

    Take items back out

    Right-click the Red Bundle in the inventory to lift out the most recently added item, or scroll the mouse wheel while hovering to highlight a specific item first.

  5. 5

    Empty the Red Bundle on the go

    Select the Red Bundle in the hotbar and use it in the world; the most recently added items fly out in the direction the player faces.

Same-color dyeing is blocked

Minecraft refuses to re-dye a bundle the color it already wears (a change from snapshot 24w40a), but crafting a Red Bundle with any other dye recolors the bundle — the dye recipe accepts plain and colored bundles alike.

Frequently asked questions

How many eggs fill a Red Bundle completely?

Sixteen eggs fill a Red Bundle exactly. Each egg stacks to 16 and occupies 4 of the 64 bundle slots, so 16 eggs × 4 slots = 64.

Can a shulker box go inside a Red Bundle?

No. Shulker boxes never fit inside bundles, though a Red Bundle itself goes into a shulker box like any ordinary item.

Do all stackable items take equal space in a Red Bundle?

No. A bee nest or beehive with bees inside occupies the space of a full item stack in a bundle, even though empty bee nests stack normally.

Is the Red Bundle renewable?

Yes. The Bundle family counts as renewable, and the entire recipe for a Red Bundle is one plain Bundle plus one Red Dye.

Which version added the Red Bundle?

Dyed bundles arrived in Java Edition 1.21.2 and Bedrock Edition 1.21.40, and those same versions removed the experimental data pack and toggle.

Can a Red Bundle be found in a chest?

No. Only plain Bundles generate in some village chests, since Java Edition 1.21.5 and Bedrock Edition 1.21.70; every Red Bundle begins with a plain Bundle and a Red Dye.
