EnderChest Restrictor
by Mr_Panda
EnderChest Restrictor stops listed items from being placed into Ender Chests, including items held inside Shulker Boxes and Bundles.
What it does
Restriction is checked on the server. Every item is tested by its own type and by its contents, and container components are inspected recursively, so an item blocked on its own cannot enter an Ender Chest inside a Shulker Box or Bundle either. Slots in an Ender Chest reject restricted items through server-side slot validation, while Bundle interactions during an Ender Chest session are handled separately. Items still work everywhere else: they can be carried, dropped and stored in regular inventories and containers.
The blocked list lives in a configuration file that is generated after the first launch. Server owners add item IDs to it, including IDs from other mods, and must restart the server for changes to apply. The mod affects Ender Chests only and needs Fabric API on the Fabric loader. It is published for Fabric alone, across 11 release versions 1.21.5 – 26.2, and its code is under the MIT License, so it is open source.
Key features
Recursive item checks
Items inside Shulker Boxes and Bundles are inspected, including nested containers, so blocked items cannot be hidden in a combination.
Configurable restricted list
The list of blocked item IDs is edited in a generated configuration file and can include items from any installed mod.
Targeted Ender Chest scope
Only Ender Chest slots and Bundle interactions inside them are changed, leaving other storage behaviour alone.
Lightweight mixins
The implementation uses a small set of targeted inventory and Bundle interaction mixins rather than broad changes.

What the author says
Ender Chest Restrictor is a small Fabric mod that prevents configurable items from being stored in Ender Chests. The restriction applies recursively, meaning an item is also blocked if it is contained inside a Shulker Box, Bundle, or any combination of nested containers.
