Shulker+
by Iskall85Team
Shulker+ lets players label Shulker boxes, dye them and change how their contents show in the inventory, through an anvil and dye-based customization.
What it does
Shulker boxes are hard to tell apart once several are placed, and the mod gives each one a custom name that is kept when the box is picked up and placed again. A name is applied with an anvil, and the label is rendered on a dynamic item frame above the box, so the contents can be read at a glance before the box is laid down or opened. Players can also choose a flat style inspired by Xisuma's datapacks, or a three-dimensional look that follows the vanilla model.
Dyeing adds further visual differences between boxes without changing their storage. Shift with right click applies dye, and server owners can turn dyeing off on their side. Shulker+ is built for Fabric and Forge and is published for 1.18.2, 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.20.6 and 1.21, with 1.3.3 for 1.21 as the latest Fabric file and 1.0.7 for 1.20.1 as the latest Forge file. The environment is client and server, so players and the server both need the mod, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Anvil naming
Shulker boxes are renamed on an anvil, and the name stays with the box when it is moved.
Item frame labels
The label renders on a dynamic item frame above the box, with a choice between flat and three-dimensional styles.
Dyeing
Boxes can be dyed with shift and right click, which helps tell several boxes apart.
Server option to disable dyeing
Server owners can turn off the dyeing feature on the server side.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Sorting storage rooms
Labeled boxes show their contents from a distance, so a storage room with many boxes is easier to search.
Sharing a base on a server
Players on a shared server can name and dye their own boxes, while the server owner decides whether dyeing stays available.
Who it’s for: Players who keep many Shulker boxes in one base and want to sort them by label or color, and server owners who want to offer custom naming with an optional dyeing setting.
How it compares
BetterPeek is a client-side only Fabric mod under the MIT License for 1.21.11, so it does not change anything on the server, and Shulker+ needs to be installed on both sides. Quick Access is a server-side only option, open source under the MIT License, for 1.20.1 – 26.1.2 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, while Shulker+ targets 1.18.2 – 1.21 with a different scope.
