Some players may not have heard of this new feature yet, but it surely is one of the best new features to be introduced into the game! Bundles will really help players manage their inventory space better.

Players will be able to create bags to store as many items inside as possible. The bags serve a similar purpose as shulker boxes.

Sculk Blocks is a new resource in Minecraft that players who love making redstone contraptions will be really into. Sculk blocks are like a new redstone power source, but they could be the key to creating wireless activation of redstone gadgets.

If a Sculk sensor detects footsteps it will emit a new redstone signal, which can be used to operate gadgets without having to use a redstone trail.
