A bundle in Minecraft, in the desert, looked upon by a rabbit.

Minecraft’s yearly showcase stream took place this evening. As part of the show, Mojang showed off some of the future updates coming to the game. First up: the Bundles Of Bravery update, which will add a proper hardcore mode to Bedrock Edition, as well as bundles, which will allow you to carry more items in your inventory when out adventuring.

Hardcore mode adds permadeath to Minecraft, giving you just one life to live and automatically generating a new world when you inevitably succumb to a creeper. This hardcore option has existed in Minecraft’s Java Edition for a long time, but in Bedrock you either needed to manually delete and generate a new world each time you died, or bodge it with an unsatisfactory paid mod from Bedrock’s marketplace.

Bundles Of Bravery adds a simple toggle you can add when generating your world, which seems to exist independently from other difficulty settings. My kid - who watches Minecraft hardcore mode videos on YouTube all day long - will be thrilled.

These bags have been available in Java and Bedrock’s preview buildssince August, but they were also previously tested and scrapped all the way back in 2020. This time it looks like they’ll make it through.

There’s no release date yet for Bundles Of Bravery, but Mojangrecently announced their intent to release fewer, smaller Minecraft updatesfrom now on. This one should be along soon.
