Craftable Bundles

by Vanilla Tweaks

Adds a crafting recipe for bundles using rabbit hide and string. Makes bundles obtainable without experimental features.

Overview

Craftable Bundles adds a straightforward crafting recipe for the bundle so you can make one at a workbench instead of relying on experimental toggles or commands. The recipe combines rabbit hide with string, fitting the bundle into normal survival progression on the listed 1.20 through 1.20.4 versions where bundles were still gated behind experiments. Once installed, the recipe behaves like any other crafting-table recipe. It is the simplest route to portable mixed-item storage on those versions.

Made for 1.20 to 1.20.4 survival players who want working bundles without enabling experimental features or spawning them in. It comes from Vanilla Tweaks, sits in the Crafting category, and is rated a simple, drop-in pack to run. Everything happens through vanilla data pack functions, so no mod loader such as Fabric or Forge is required to use it on Minecraft 1.20 through 1.20.4.

How It Works

Under the hood, Craftable Bundles relies on plain data pack mechanics rather than any client mod. Here is what happens in-game once it is loaded:

  1. 1Registers a new crafting recipe that outputs a vanilla bundle item
  2. 2Consumes rabbit hide and string as the ingredients in the crafting grid
  3. 3Resolves in the standard crafting table like any normal shaped or shapeless recipe
  4. 4Makes the otherwise experiment-locked bundle obtainable through ordinary survival crafting

Supported Versions

1.201.20.11.20.4

Compatibility

Compatible with all data packs.

  • Conflicts with packs that define a different bundle recipe, since recipes with the same id collide
  • Built for 1.20 to 1.20.4, where bundles were experimental rather than a default feature
  • Works alongside recipe-unlock packs that surface the new recipe in the recipe book

Craftable Bundles is a pure data pack and does not ship a resource pack, so it changes server-side behaviour without altering textures, models or sounds on the client.

How to Install

Craftable Bundles installs as a standard Java Edition data pack and runs on both singleplayer worlds and multiplayer servers. The 1.20 family shares a stable data pack format, so a single download covers every point release listed.

  1. 1.Download the Craftable Bundles pack as a .zip and keep it zipped.
  2. 2.Open the target world folder — a singleplayer save under .minecraft/saves, or the world folder on your server.
  3. 3.Drop the .zip into that world's datapacks folder, creating the folder if it does not exist.
  4. 4.Load the world (or run /reload if it is already open) and run /datapack list to confirm it is enabled.

The pack is built for Minecraft 1.20 through 1.20.4, so it loads on vanilla Java without Fabric, Forge or any other mod loader. Drop it into the datapacks folder; the bundle recipe becomes available at the crafting table once the world loads the pack.
