A small improvement to the usefulness of bundles.

Broadly, I like the idea behind bundles, But there is one primary thing which I think is a huge misstep with them. That being that they are locked to a stack as opposed to a number of items. In my experience, The largest amount of clutter in my inventory tends to be unstackable items as opposed to small amounts of other items. However I also understand that holding 64 unstackable items in a single slot would be a bit busted.

Here is my proposed solution. Allow unstackable items to take up only an eighth or a quarter of the bundle's capacity as opposed to the whole thing. Perhaps you could even limit that to not apply to armour and tools if you so desired.

This would allow you condense things like enchanted books, Buckets of mobs, Maps, Beds, Music disks, Potions, Totems, Etc. into a single slot. It would also give a reason you to keep items like spyglasses and goat horns on you. Since they are no longer taking up an entire slot for an item with a very situational usage. And likewise, The extra steps required to get something out of a bundle prevent you from just being able to instantly use the items.

    I agree, but some minor suggestions:

    • Maps already stack well in bundles; you can stack 64 trials maps for example in a single bundle
    • 16 stack items should also get a boost, instead of taking 4 units inside a bundle, they should take take up 2 or 1, so you could put 32 or 64 Ender Pearls in a bundle
    • A reminder that you cannot put shulker boxes in bundles so there are no ways of overloading a shulker box which would be OP and difficult to justify

    I think this would fit well with the new UI updates and with a few other ease of use adjustments (dyable like shulker boxes or maybe leather armor), bundles would be ready for full release.
