Bundle Tweaks for Redstone

The bundle was an unexpected but welcomed addition to 1.17, though for the purpose of redstone mechanisms, I highly recommend a way for automatic emptying of bundles for storage systems etc., just like what many have done with shulker boxes.

I propose that bundles, when fired from dispensers (not droppers), act like snowballs (or eggs, a more appropriate comparison due to its nature of summoning an entity); they will be fired a similar distance and, when hitting something, spills out all items. This can be used for minigames, redstone contraptions such as storage and more. The bundle shouldn't break but drop all contained items and itself.

This would be a fun and helpful addition!

  this would be cool also when dropped from a dropper to a containment block it should drop all the items in the chest/barrel/hopper/etc.

  In the replies, lorenzo luppi suggested:

  Although I understand the idea behind this, it would be very inconvenient for transport of bundles (It could make storage systems slower and harder to use/build, and what if said containment block did not have enough space? All around inconvenient in my personal opinion). This is why I suggested a less used redstone component, the dispenser.

  Ferro16 you are right but when we think about this i think better that implementing bundle to redstone we should think a way beacause the bundles will be a pain to implement on existing storage systems the other option is to have an entirely new block for this purpose of taking out the things of the bundle

  Sounds like a cool idea!

   

  Also, Lorenzo Luppi, The dropper should not do that, because the dropper always drops the items as an item.
