ShulkerOpener
by _purpir_
ShulkerOpener lets players open a shulker box from their inventory and reach its contents without placing it on the ground first.
What it does
Holding a shulker box and pressing Shift with right-click opens its inventory directly, so the box never has to be set down. Right-clicking a shulker box in the inventory does the same. Changes made inside the box are saved automatically when the inventory closes, which keeps the contents current without any extra step.
The mod suits mining, building and exploring, where quick access to stored blocks, tools or food saves repeated placing and breaking of shulkers on the ground. It works in both survival and creative mode, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for the game versions 1.21.10 – 26.2, released under the MIT License and not open source.
