QuickShulker
by kyrptonaught
With QuickShulker installed, a player can open a shulker box, ender chest or crafting table straight from the inventory without placing it down.
What it does
QuickShulker lets players open containers such as shulker boxes, ender chests, crafting tables and stonecutters with a keypress, without setting the block in the world. Items can also be moved in and out of shulker boxes directly from the inventory, and each of these interactions can be turned off in the config file.
Shulker boxes and other supported containers behave like bundles when they sit in the inventory. The mod works on both client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric only, across 7 release versions covering 1.19 – 1.20.1, and the code is open source under the MIT License. No required dependency is listed for Fabric.
Key features
Open without placing
Holding a shulker box and pressing the use key opens its contents at once, with no block placed in the world.
Open from the inventory
Right-clicking a shulker box while hovering over it in the inventory opens the container on the spot.
Insert into a shulker
Right-clicking a shulker while holding an item puts that item into the box.
Pick up and insert
Right-clicking an item with a shulker in hand picks the item up and stores it inside the box.
Extract the last item
Right-clicking an empty slot while holding a shulker moves the last item stored in it into that slot.

Use cases
Restocking from the inventory
A player can refill a shulker box with loose items from the inventory without setting the box down.
Crafting on the move
Opening a crafting table or stonecutter from the inventory lets a player craft while travelling.
Who it’s for: Players who carry shulker boxes or ender chests often and want to reach their contents from the inventory. Server owners who want these shortcuts on a multiplayer server can install the mod there and disable any single feature in the config.
