Minecraft snapshot 24w38a patch notes: Dyeable bundles, Hardcore mode for Realms, and more

Bundles are one of the most anticipated features planned for an upcoming Minecraft update. With recent snapshots, Mojang has been refining bundles in preparation for their official release. The new snapshot, 24w38a, has introduced a particularly useful feature for fans of bundles.

In Minecraft snapshot 24w38a, Mojang added the ability to dye bundles, similar to shulker boxes. Expert players who have been using shulker boxes already know how valuable this feature will be. With colored bundles, players can now color-code them, making item storage more efficient.

In addition to dyeable bundles, Minecraft snapshot 24w38a also focuses on Realms. Players with access to the Realms service can now create Hardcore worlds. There are also numerous bug fixes and technical changes. Without further ado, let's dive into the Minecraft snapshot 24w38a patch notes.
