Shulker Enchantments
by ephys
Shulker Enchantments gives shulker boxes enchantments that act on the items they hold, so a box can refill a player's hotbar or pick up matching items from the ground.
What it does
A shulker box equipped with Siphon sweeps up nearby ground items directly into its contents, provided the box already contains at least one item of that kind. The box has to be in the player's inventory for this to work. Refill works on placement: when a player places a block, the item is taken from the shulker box in the inventory first, and the held stack is refilled from the box rather than from the main inventory.
The enchantments can be found through villager trades and through fishing, and the descriptions shown in-game explain each effect. The mod also changes how enchanted boxes look. Closed boxes show their enchantment shimmer through plain block models, since the glint effect is rendered on them without a heavier tile entity renderer.
Installation requires CookieCore. Curios API is optional and only adds support for worn-slot integration. The mod is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Forge files cover 1.16.5 – 1.20.1.
Key features
Siphon enchantment
Items on the ground are picked up into a shulker box that already holds the same item type.
Refill enchantment
Placing a block draws its item from the shulker box in the inventory, keeping the main inventory free.
Villager and fishing sources
Enchanted shulker boxes can be found through villager trades and through fishing.
Lightweight box rendering
Closed boxes use simple block models so the enchantment glint works without a complex tile entity renderer.
