Back with the Bundle
by Sythiex
Back with the Bundle ports the modern bundle features of newer Minecraft releases to NeoForge for 1.21.1, so bundles behave more like their later versions.
What it does
Bundles gain a set of changes that are backported from later game releases: a faithful copy of modern bundle behavior, an updated user interface, and dyed bundles. Opening a bundle shows the item it currently has selected, and a scroll wheel selection lets a player pick a different stored item without leaving the screen. Dragging a bundle across inventory slots inserts or removes items in one motion.
The mod also adds crafting recipes for bundles and lets bundles appear as loot in village chests. Its quality-of-life features can be enabled or disabled one at a time from a configuration menu, so a server or a player can keep only the changes they want. The mod requires NeoForge and the experimental bundles feature, and it must be installed on both the client and the server. Support for other mod loaders is listed as planned, but the files published so far target NeoForge only.
Key features
Faithful backport
Bundle mechanics from newer game releases are ported to 1.21.1 so bundles work in the same way.
Selection and display
An open bundle shows its selected item, and the scroll wheel picks which stored item is shown.
Drag to insert and remove
Items can be moved in and out of a bundle by dragging the bundle across inventory slots.
Dyed bundles and recipes
Bundles can be dyed, and crafting recipes are added for them.
Configurable options
Each quality-of-life feature can be disabled individually from the in-game configuration menu.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Who it’s for: Players and server owners on NeoForge 1.21.1 who want newer bundle behavior without moving to a later game version. Both sides need the mod, so it fits multiplayer servers as well as single-player worlds.
How it compares
Back with the Bundle runs on the client and server and is open source under the MIT License, built only for NeoForge 1.21.1. BundleDirect is also NeoForge 1.21.1, client and server, MIT licensed and open source, so it covers the same loader and version. 24w33a Bundle Recipe spans Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21 – 1.21.1, is server required with the client optional, is MIT licensed and is not open source, so it works differently in where it must be installed.
