EaseonSS - HandyChest
by Teron
HandyChest lets a player open an ender chest or shulker box in hand by right-clicking the air while holding it, without placing the block first.
What it does
Holding an ender chest or shulker box and right-clicking the air opens its contents directly. The item is not placed or broken, so building, mining and exploring can continue with storage close at hand, and no block placement is skipped.
The mod is a lightweight Fabric addition that runs on the server side only. Players join without installing anything, since the server handles the open action. It depends on EaseonSS-Core, which must be present for the mod to load. Files are published for Fabric alone, for seven game versions 1.21.9 – 26.3, with 26.3.0.0 as the latest file. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, though its source code and issue tracker are public.

Quick storage during work
Storage stays available while building, mining or exploring, without interrupting the task at hand.
Server-side operation
The action runs on the server, so players join without installing anything.

Use cases
Building projects
Items can be pulled from a shulker box in hand while placing blocks, without setting the box down.
Mining trips
An ender chest opens from the hand during a dig, so loot can be stored and retrieved without a detour.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want quicker container access for players, and players on those servers who prefer opening storage from the hand over placing it first.
How it compares
Shulker / Ender Chest tooltip is a client-side only Fabric and NeoForge mod under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, covering 1.21.7 – 26.3, and it shows container contents instead of opening them. ShulkerOpener is a client and server Fabric mod under the MIT License, but it is not open source and covers 1.21.10 – 26.2. HandyChest is server-side only and is also not open source, so players join with nothing extra.
