Shulkers In Shulkers *updated version*
Shulkers In Shulkers lets players place a shulker box inside another shulker box, adding a second storage layer for Fabric players on 1.20.1 – 1.21.8.
What it does
Shulkers In Shulkers is an unofficial updated version of the original Shulkers In Shulkers mod by ang-xd, and full credit goes to that original author. It keeps the nesting behavior and extends it to later game versions. Support covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.6 in the author notes, and files for 1.21.7 and 1.21.8 are also published.
The mod needs Fabric API on Fabric. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source. An issue tracker is linked from the project page for bug reports.
Files exist for 15 release versions, with 1.0.6 for 1.21.8 as the latest file, dated 2025-06-21. The first release was published on 2023-11-30.
Key features
Nested shulker boxes
Players can place a shulker box inside another shulker box, which adds a second layer of storage to a single item.

Nesting gives more room for organizing items without building extra chests or containers.
Updated for later versions
This build extends the original mod's support to newer game versions, with the later updates in the project history.
Item browser note
The author notes suggest an NBT item browser in Creative mode to inspect the contents of nested boxes, and advise using the mod with care.

Use cases
Compact item sorting
Players who sort many item types can keep each category in its own nested box, grouping items inside a single shulker.
Multiplayer storage
On a server, every player who joins needs the mod, so the nesting works the same way for everyone on that server.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners on Fabric who want shulker boxes to hold other shulker boxes, on any release from the 1.20.1 – 1.21.8 range.
