Bane of Shulkers
Bane of Shulkers extends the Bane of Arthropods enchantment so that it also affects shulkers, a mob that the enchantment does not reach in vanilla.
What it does
A sword enchanted with Bane of Arthropods gains extra damage against shulkers once this mod is on the server. Shulkers join the list of mobs the enchantment targets, which gives the enchantment a use against a mob that shells its attacks. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and it is published for Fabric across 23 release versions, 1.20 – 26.2.
Key features
Shulker targeting
Bane of Arthropods applies to shulkers, so a sword with the enchantment deals bonus damage to them.
Better use of an underused enchantment
The enchantment gains a target that matters in the End and other areas where shulkers appear.
Pest control weapon
A spider-slaying sword gains a purpose beyond the Overworld, as the mod widens the enchantment's reach.

What the author says
Finally makes that dusty enchantment worth keeping! Adds shulkers to the Bane of Arthropods (BoA) enchantment target list, simply because if it has a shell and annoying attacks, it's close enough to count as a bug!
