I'm a little behind on this but last week Mojang released the Bundles of Bravery update for Minecraft. Now you can carry around a bundle to keep a bunch of miscellaneous items in your inventory. So when you are out mining and find a few random items but can't carry any more because your inventory is full, you can throw them in your bundle. Sweet! The bundles will hold a full stack of something so there's no point in putting a stack of cobblestone in there but if you have five diamonds, three emeralds, a bunch of seeds, mushrooms, whatever, you can throw them in the bundle and make room for your other treasures. The update also includes hardcore mode on Realms but I think I'm gonna pass on that. If you die once, it's game over and you can never play on that world again. No thanks.
