Minecraft 1.21.40.04 [Release]

The full version of Minecraft 1.21.40.04 has been released. Added Hardcore mode and Bundles, carried over changes and fixes problems from Beta and Preview versions.

Bundles of Bravery

A third minor release aimed at adding a new mode and a new way to store resources to Bedrock edition.

• Hardcore Mode
  • You can't turn off Hardcore mode after creating this world.
  • The game is locked to the highest difficulty.
  • There are no second chances. If you die, it's game over!
  • Upon death, you can only respawn as a spectator. You can still explore your world and watch others, but you’ll no longer be able to interact or rebuild.
• Bundles
• 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.
  
  • If a Bundle has less than 12 item types inside, the tooltip will show all of them.
  • Otherwise, the tooltip will show the top three rows of items and the others will be hidden below.
• 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.
• The Bundle is crafted with one String above one Leather.
