by KGriffon

What it does

Dye can be applied to shulker boxes in the world, so a box is recolored without being broken and picked up. A brush clears the color again, replacing the water bucket step used in earlier versions. Fabric API must be installed for the mod to load. Dyeable Shulkers is server-side only, so clients do not need to install it, and it is released under the MIT License as open source.

Key features

  1. Dyeing placed shulkers

    Shulker boxes can be dyed where they stand, keeping their contents and placement intact.

  2. Cleaning with a brush

    A brush removes the dye from a shulker box, where earlier builds used a water bucket.

  3. Toggleable functions

    A command switches some functions on or off, and their settings are kept in a file in the config folder.
