Minecraft 1.21.30.03

A new release version of Minecraft 1.21.30.03 has been released. The update adds a new way to store and transfer resources — Bundles, makes changes to the rarity of items and blocks, and fixes various problems. Details are below and on the developers' website.

Bundles

• Bundles are an experimental feature - to use them, you must turn on the Bundle experiment when creating a new world
  • Please note: Bundles are still being polished in the Preview and Betas with bug fixes and tweaks, so you might spot some slight differences in this experimental version!.
• A Bundle is an item that can pack different items together into the same stack.
• A Bundle only fits one stack (usually 64 items) but it can be a mixture of many different item types.
• You can insert items into a Bundle directly in the inventory.
• Bundles have a tooltip that shows the items inside
  • The tooltip fits 3 rows and can always show at least 8 item types.
• You can select any of the visible items to pull out of the Bundle
  • Use the scroll wheel on mouse, the right stick on a game controller, or tap on a touch device.
• When selecting an item to remove, the Bundle icon shows that item poking out of the Bundle.
• When holding a Bundle in hand, you can empty it onto the ground
  • In the latest Beta & Preview version, when a Bundle is used in the hotbar, one group of items is emptied at a time instead of everything being emptied at once.
• The Bundle is crafted with one String above one Leather.
• Bundle recipe is now unlocked by obtaining Leather or String.
• Known Issues:
  • When moving items on touch devices, the wrong item icon may appear briefly.
  • Bundles put in Decorated Pots, given to an Allay, or moved through Hoppers and Droppers may lose their contents.

Rarity

• Various items and blocks have had their assigned rarities changed.
  • Once these rarity changes come to Java Edition in a future snapshot, all item and block rarities will be in parity across both platforms.
• Rarity is a set of categories which determine the color used to display the name of an item or block.
  • It has no gameplay impact, but is used to signal how difficult something is to obtain.
  • By default, unless specified otherwise, all items and blocks have a rarity of Common which displays their name in the color white.
• Re-evaluated the rarity of all items and blocks in the game to more accurately reflect the current challenge of obtaining them, given the following guidelines:
  
  • The chance of finding it in a loot table, including mob drops.
  • The amount of travelling required to obtain it.
  • The difficulty of any obstacle which must be overcome to obtain it.
  • The possible amount of that item or block which exists in the world.
• Any item or block which can be crafted must inherit the highest rarity of its crafting ingredients.
  • For example, a Mace has an Epic rarity because one of its ingredients (the Heavy Core) has an Epic rarity.
  • Likewise, any crafted item which has only Common crafting ingredients must also be Common.
• The lists below detail the items and blocks which have changed to that rarity category.

Changes

• Parrot can now imitate Endermite.
• Parrots now imitate Drowned.
• Sculk charge particles now have sound.
• Wither Skeleton now has its own "step" sound.
• Added hotkeys to take screenshots in game on controller and keyboard.
  • On mouse/keyboard: F2.
  • On controller: LB+RB, L1+R1, L Button+R Button

Vanilla Parity

• Foxes now have 10 health.
• The name of the Stone Mason villager profession has been renamed to Mason to match Java Edition.
• Mooshrooms now spawn at light level 9 and above.
• The names of many items and blocks were brought to parity with Java Edition.
• The following blocks have been brought to parity with Java Edition for Redstone power:
  • minecraft:mangrove_roots -> now powered.
  • minecraft:beacon -> no longer powered.
  • minecraft:tnt -> no longer powered.
  • minecraft:sea_lantern -> no longer powered.
