Ari exits out of a tent, and begins to take it apart, beginning with a campfire, followed by white wool, stripped cherry wood, and spruce fences. All the components of the tent go into a red bundle. Looking down at an explorer map, Ari progresses on a quest, seguing into gameplay footage. They go into a snowy plains village, collecting carrots from a farm and opening a chest, before leaving on a horse. Ari proceeds to trek through many more biomes, before ultimately finding a lush cave.
Inside the lush cave, Ari collects glow berries and raw iron, before being confronted by a zombie. Ari continues through more biomes, finding a bee nest in a meadow. Looking down at a magenta bundle, Ari collects a honey bottle from the nest without placing a campfire, angering the bees. After fleeing on a horse, Ari makes progress to a site of buried treasure, coming across an animated dolphin. Pulling out a light blue bundle, Ari feeds it salmon, before following it using a boat.
In a post-credits scene, Ari returns to the dolphin site with a yellow bundle, presumably having claimed the treasure. It is now night, with several monsters surrounding the beach, though none targeting Ari. Ari starts to place fish on a campfire, before staring at an enderman in the eyes.

Bundles of Bravery is here! Gather your bundles for peak loot efficiency and get ready to test your prowess with Hardcore mode for Bedrock. Available to play now!
The latest Minecraft Update is really just two features — but each have been several years in the making:
𝐁𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 is the first official game "drop" — a smaller, more frequent content change which Mojang Studios/Microsoft will be leaning into more vs the large, once-a-year updates of yore. And at its core, it features 2 things:
💔 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐞: the die-and-you're-done mode arrives on Bedrock
👜 𝐁𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐬: a new kind of storage item, great for odds-and-ends
What do they have in common? Time. Since the start of Bedrock (2016), players have been asking about Hardcore — but rare bugs which would cause a player's death & end the world complicated it. And Bundles were first seen in 2020 at Minecraft LIVE, but have been a herculean task to figure out across all the different platforms that the game exists on (mobile, console, PC).
Players rarely think about the things platforms are juggling in the background: crossplay, tech debt, etc. But occasionally, some cool features like these rely on them — and it's a great chance to be appreciative of that work.
