Shulker Accessory
by kwahson
Shulker Accessory lets players equip shulker boxes as wearable accessories, opening them in place without placing them on the ground.
What it does
Up to three shulker boxes can be equipped in dedicated accessory slots. Pressing B opens the first equipped box, and tabs switch between the boxes. Right-clicking a shulker held in the hand opens it in place, while crouching and right-clicking still places it as usual.
The mod depends on Accessories, which must be installed alongside it, and runs on NeoForge 1.21.1. It is built for both client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge on 1.21.1 only, and the source code is available under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, which makes it open source.
Support for Sophisticated Storage is included, with the six optional Sophisticated Storage tiers and the vanilla shulker boxes working through the accessory slots. Some upgrades that target blocks, such as pump-style converters, are disabled while equipped, because their targeting reaches the player's feet. Other item and internal upgrades, including pickup handling, keep working.
Key features
Wearable shulker boxes
Shulker boxes can be equipped as accessories, so their contents stay within reach while moving around.

In-place opening
A held shulker can be opened where the player stands, and crouching with right-click still places it normally.

What the author says
Equip up to three shulker boxes as accessories and pop them open wherever, whenever Sophisticated Storage shulker boxes work in the accessory slots and open with their native inventory and settings UI, so you get full access to the inventory on the go.
