Bundle Upgrade
Bundles changed how players haul loot in Minecraft, but vanilla bundles still feel limited once your storage fills up. You can only see a handful of items in the tooltip, and pulling out that one specific stack means shuffling everything around. Bundle Upgrade fixes that frustration by rebuilding how you interact with bundles while keeping the familiar vanilla look and feel.
This add-on expands Minecraft's existing bundle interface instead of replacing it. Every stored item becomes visible in the tooltip, and you can scroll through contents with the mouse wheel or keyboard arrow keys to select exactly what you want. It is a genuine inventory interaction mod, not just a cosmetic tooltip tweak, so it must be installed on both the client and the server for everything to work correctly.
What Bundle Upgrade Adds
The core idea is simple: give players full control over bundle contents without extra menus or clunky workarounds. The mod layers several quality of life features on top of the vanilla system.
- View every stored item directly in the bundle tooltip instead of being capped by the vanilla display limit.
- Select any stored item using the scroll wheel or arrow keys, then extract precisely what you need.
- See extra details about the currently highlighted item while browsing.
- Insert and extract items quickly with intuitive inventory interactions.
- Click and drag across multiple slots to move items in bulk.
- Hold Control, or Command on Mac, to move single items instead of full stacks.
- Track storage usage with improved fill indicators on the bundle icon.
- Read smart compatibility hints that show whether a held item can be inserted and whether matching items already sit inside.
Configuration and Controls
Everything is highly configurable. You can adjust interaction behavior, keybinds, tooltip layout, and visual indicators to match your playstyle. On Fabric, in-game configuration works through Mod Menu by Prospector. Manual edits live in the .minecraft/config folder, with files named after the mod ID plus client, common, or server, depending on the config type.
Dependencies and Installation Requirements
Bundle Upgrade supports modern Minecraft versions across both Fabric and NeoForge. Before you download Bundle Upgrade, check that Puzzles Lib is installed, since it is required on both loaders. Fabric users also need Fabric API and the Forge Config API Port. Remember that this is not a client only mod. If you play on a server, the mod has to be present on both sides, otherwise the inventory interactions will not function.
If you only want prettier bundle previews without the deeper inventory mechanics, Bundles Beyond by 7410 covers that niche. Players who rely on shulker boxes should also look at Easy Shulker Boxes, which brings the same intuitive interactions to portable storage containers.
How to Install Bundle Upgrade
Getting started takes only a few minutes. First, install your preferred mod loader, either Fabric or NeoForge, for the Minecraft version you play. Next, drop Puzzles Lib and any other required dependencies into your mods folder. Then place the Bundle Upgrade jar alongside them. Finally, launch the game and confirm the mod loads on both the client and the server if you run multiplayer.
If you would rather skip manual file juggling, the foxygame.net launcher handles the whole process for you, letting you add Bundle Upgrade straight from its curated add-on catalog with a single click. That same launcher also keeps your mods updated automatically, so version compatibility across Fabric and NeoForge builds stays current without you hunting down new jars every patch.
Why It Belongs in Your Modpack
Inventory management is one of the most repeated tasks in Minecraft, and small friction points add up over a long session. Bundle Upgrade removes those friction points without changing the game's identity. The vanilla bundle stays familiar, but it finally behaves the way players expect when they are juggling dozens of item types during mining trips, raids, or base building.
Whether you run a lightweight Fabric setup or a heavily modded NeoForge pack, this add-on earns its place. It is compact, configurable, and built to cooperate with the systems already in your world. Give it a try, and you may wonder how you ever managed a full bundle without it.
