MrShulker
by mr.mindor
MrShulker lets players attach items to the lid of a shulker box so the contents show on the outside, which helps with sorting and inventory management.
What it does
Players attach an item to a shulker box at an anvil, and the item is then shown on the box's lid. The attachment costs 1 experience level. Attached items serve display purposes, so a box can be labeled by what it holds without opening it.
The mod also adds commands for managing display settings. Two special display contexts were added to the list of contexts, and a per-shulker scale can be set for each context. Alongside them, the mod reads a first-person, left-hand display context. The mod requires Fabric API, and migration data from Shulker+ carries over, so worlds that used Shulker+ can switch to MrShulker.
Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.5 – 1.21.8, with 1.4.3+ALPHA for 1.21.8 as the latest build, released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Source code and the issue tracker are public, and the top-down GUI view is provided by a separate resource pack, MrShulker Flat GUI View Companion.
Key features
Items on the lid
An item attached with an anvil shows on the lid of the shulker box, so its contents can be identified at a glance.
Display commands
Commands set the scale and mode of each display context, and a reset command restores the default GUI values.
Per-shulker scales
A setting controls whether scales chosen for individual shulker boxes are applied, alongside the context scales.
Two added display contexts
Two special display contexts extend the list used to place attached items, including first-person left-hand display.

How it compares
Shulker Palette is client and server, open source under the MIT License, and built for 1.21.11 only. ShulkerOpener is client and server, not open source, under the MIT License, and covers 1.21.10 – 26.2. HerrShulker is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, is server required with client optional, and covers 1.21.10 – 1.21.11. MrShulker is built for 1.21.5 – 1.21.8, so it does not cover the versions those alternatives target.
