Best Bundles
With Best Bundles, a bundle can hold up to four full stacks of items, and players can dye bundles in crafting or wash the color out in a water cauldron.
What it does
Best Bundles changes the bundle item so that it stores more and can be colored. A bundle takes four full stacks of items, and it can be dyed or re-dyed with any of the dye colors in a crafting recipe. Dye is removed by placing the bundle in a cauldron that holds water. On versions before 1.21.2, bundles work without the experimental data pack being switched on.
The mod is a Fabric-only storage and equipment addition that runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Fabric API is required. Files are published for 1.20.5 – 1.21.11 across 14 release versions, and the latest file is 1.21.11-1.2.2 for 1.21.11, released 2025-12-11 under the MIT License, which does not make it open source.
