Shulker Inventory Access
Shulker Inventory Access lets a player open a shulker box held in hand without placing it on the ground.
What it does
The mod adds a way to open the contents of a shulker box directly from the hand, so the box does not have to be set down first. The Forge build is available for Minecraft 1.20.1 only, with version 1.0.0 published on 2025-11-26 on the alpha channel. It is client-side only, so servers do not need to install it, and the code is under All rights reserved; it is not open source.
Key features
Open from the hand
A shulker box held in the hand can be opened without placing it in the world.
Direct inventory access
Items inside a shulker can be reached straight from the held box, saving the step of placing and breaking it.
Client-side function
Most of the function runs on the client, so it works on most servers without a server-side install.

Latest build for each game version and loader.
