Minecraft players can expect the Bundles of Bravery drop to arrive pretty soon if it follows the usual trend of pushing out official updates right after the release candidate. Players can therefore potentially expect Bundles of Bravery to arrive as early as next week.

The new update is set to introduce a host of features with the coveted Bundles as its highlight. This storage item that can hold mixed stacks of items has become all the rage since it was revealed at Minecraft Live 2020. These bundles are finally arriving in-game in multiple color options.

Additionally, this drop will introduce new game modes for Minecraft. The Hardcore mode is set to arrive with this update along with a new variant of the survival mode wherein the world is locked to Hard difficulty.

This update will also introduce the Spectator mode which will allow players to observe their worlds without interacting after they die — offering a bird's eye view of the realm they have created and built. Moreover, the Bundles of Bravery drop is set to introduce a fully featured world creation screen that can be used to create Hardcore Realms in Minecraft.
