HerrShulker
by Einbrecher
HerrShulker lets players attach an item and a label to Shulker Boxes placed in the world, using an anvil and a dye-based setup.
What it does
Players craft Shulker Boxes with another item through an anvil, and the chosen item is shown as a display on top of the box. A label can also be placed on a box in the world. The display lid is combined with a Shulker Box once both are placed, so the box and its item read together as one display.
The mod is a fork of MrShulker, updated to keep working with Minecraft 1.21.10 and later. Server owners can customize how the item displays are scaled through commands, and the dye functionality works without installing the mod on the client, although clients without it cannot see the displayed items. Players can sneak and right-click while holding dye to dye a Shulker Box.
HerrShulker is a Fabric mod for the 1.21.10 – 1.21.11 range. Only the server needs it; the client can leave it out. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with source code publicly available. Files were first published on 2025-12-05 and last updated on 2026-01-09.
