Rainbow Shulker Box!
by MrTokido
Rainbow Shulker Box! adds a shulker box colored with rainbow dye, which players craft by combining red, blue, yellow and green dye with a nether crystal from the Nether.
What it does
The rainbow box is a color variant of the vanilla shulker box, so it can be crafted, placed and opened like the other colors. Its recipe needs a red, blue, yellow and green dye along with a nether crystal, and that rare drop is the step that makes it hard to obtain early in a survival world. Once crafted, the box stores items like any other shulker box, with one extra slot in its inventory.
Players can also apply the rainbow dye directly to an existing shulker box: crouch and right-click the box while holding the dye, and the box takes on the rainbow color. That path lets a player convert boxes already in a base instead of crafting new ones. The mod is built for Fabric, targets only 26.2, and is published under All rights reserved, so its code is not open source. Both the server and every player need it, because the color variant has to be recognized on each side.
