Nested Shulkers

by DecDuck

Nested Shulkers lets players place any item inside a shulker box, including other shulker boxes, so containers can hold containers.

What it does

A shulker box normally refuses other shulkers, and this Fabric mod removes that restriction, so a shulker can be stored within another one. The change applies to the server, and clients do not need to be modified. The code is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later. Builds exist for 1.21.4 only, with a single file dated 2025-01-21.

Key features

  1. Nested shulker storage

    Shulker boxes can be placed inside other shulker boxes, so stored items can be sorted into deeper layers.

  2. Any item accepted

    Everything placed inside a shulker is kept, with no item type excluded from nesting.

  3. Server-side change

    Only the server runs the nesting rules, and unmodded clients can still join without installing the mod.

What the author says

A simple server-side mod to allow shulkers and other items infinitely nest within shulkers. Be warned that this can cause issues with saving data, it's really easy to accidentally crash the world saving. This mod needs to be installed on the server. This mod doesn't enforce installation for non-modded clients.
