Better Shulker

by h._.03.

Better Shulker lets players open a shulker box from inventory by hovering over it and pressing O, without placing it on the ground first.

FabricClient and serverCustom license26.1.2

What it does

Hovering over a shulker box in the inventory and pressing O opens its contents directly, so the box does not have to be placed down. The screen follows the vanilla shulker box layout, and the contents are saved when the screen closes.

Inside the screen, items move with left-click and right-click, shift-click works, and the hotbar is available for transfers. The mod runs on Fabric and is needed on both the client and the server, and its files target 26.1.2 only. The license is custom and the mod is not open source.

Key features

  1. Open from inventory

    Pressing O while hovering over a shulker box opens it without placing the box in the world.

  2. Vanilla-style screen

    The shulker box interface keeps the familiar vanilla layout, so the contents look the same as a placed box.

  3. Full inventory interaction

    Left-click and right-click move stacks, shift-click moves items quickly, and the hotbar can be used for transfers.

  4. Contents saved on close

    Changes made in the screen are written to the shulker box when the screen closes.
