The Bundles of Bravery drop has also introduced updates to redstone and related items. Redstone has received changes to the performance impact of the wire as well as only triggering block updates on blocks that may receive power from the wire.

These wires also received a left-first preference, ensuring that the left side is updated first if both sides of a fork have equal power. This allows for less randomization and more predictable behaviors of technical builds.

As for gameplay features, many blocks have received updates to their behavior as part of the Minecraft Java Bundles of Bravery drop. The bee nests and beehives now show information about the honey level and the number of bees inside, allowing players to have a better idea of their resources. Additionally, bees now wander around less randomly and are less likely to get stuck in corners anymore.

Ender pearls also received many changes that allow them to load and tick chunks around it in a 3x3 block when thrown. This is also applicable for the pearls that cross to a new dimension, allowing them to travel seamlessly. These updates are made to improve the gameplay experience and address discrepancies.
