What it does

Each metal variant is a shulker box that keeps its stored items when broken and moved, the same as the vanilla box, with extra inventory space. Players can place them, pick them up and carry them around like the original. The mod covers Forge and NeoForge, and the files are for 1.16.4 – 1.21. It is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public. Client and server both need the mod.

Key features

  1. Metal shulker boxes

    Shulker boxes come in iron, gold, diamond and other metal versions, each with its own storage size.

  2. Larger storage

    The metal boxes hold more items than the vanilla shulker box, and the contents stay inside when the box is moved.

  3. Chest-free storage

    Items stored in these boxes stay sealed inside, so they can be moved without emptying the contents into a chest.
