Netherite Shulkerbox
by Efficiency
Netherite Shulkerbox adds a Netherite upgrade for shulker boxes, so a box can survive lava and fire when it is dropped.
What it does
A Netherite Upgrade Smithing Template plus a Netherite Ingot, applied at a smithing table to an existing shulker box, produces the upgraded version. The result is a Netherite shulker box, which keeps the color of the box it came from, so a light blue box becomes a Netherite Light Blue Shulker Box. Its dropped item is immune to lava and fire, so the stored contents are not lost when the box lands in flames.
The mod works with shulker box colors and keeps the items stored inside an upgraded box. It runs on a dedicated server, and players join without installing it. Fabric API is required, so it has to be present on the server next to this mod. Files exist for Fabric only, for game version 26.2, with 1.0.0 as the latest build from 2026-09-01. The code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal and is not open source.
Key features

A dropped Netherite shulker box cannot be destroyed by lava or fire, so its contents stay safe.

Singleplayer and servers
