Early Game Shulker
by erynith
Early Game Shulker is a datapack that gives early-game players a cheap recipe for a shulker box, made from string, leather and a chest.
What it does
Early Game Shulker is a data pack that adds a simple crafting recipe for a brown shulker box, built from four string and a leather with a chest. The recipe lets a player get a portable storage block during the first hour of a world, before resources for the usual shulker box are gathered. Server owners who want an inventory option for new players can enable it. The mod is server required and client optional, published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 51 release versions, 1.13 – 26.3, under the Apache License 2.0, which is open source.

Data pack delivery
The recipe is supplied as a data pack, so it can be added to a world or server without a loader mod.

What the author says
A datapack letting you craft a shulker box with resources you get basically in the first hour. I wanted me and my friends to have an inventory solution. We know backpack mods exist but shulkers are cool and awesome so why not.
