Shulker Squared
by cqm3ron
Shulker Squared changes the drop table of shulkers so that each one always drops two shells, and players who kill them get the extra shell every time.
What it does
The pack is a datapack-based change that makes shulkers drop two shells with a 100% chance. Looting does not affect the amount, which keeps players from collecting an unlimited number of shells through enchantments. The author describes it as a single-purpose pack that changes only this one behavior.
The mod runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and is also offered as a data pack for server platforms. Server owners install it on the server, while players connect without any extra steps. Files are published across 51 release versions, and the latest build, 1.2.0+mod, targets 26.3 and is dated 2026-10-04. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
The author notes that the pack is compatible with many versions and that additional features are outside its scope. Its first release is dated 2026-07-11, and the last update is dated 2026-10-04.
Key features
Two shells per kill
Every shulker killed drops two shells at a 100% chance, with no roll involved.
Looting left unchanged
Looting enchantments do not add extra shells, so the drop stays at two regardless of weapon.
Single-purpose datapack
The change is limited to shulker drops, and no other part of the game is modified.
Lightweight install
The pack is small and adds only the drop change, so it does not add blocks, items or mobs.

Use cases
Survival shell farms
Players who farm shulkers for shells get a predictable yield of two per kill, which helps plan builds that use shulker boxes.
Server economies
Server owners who trade shells can adjust the expected supply by installing this pack on the server.
Who it’s for: Server owners and players who want shulkers to give a fixed shell yield, and do not need any other features in the same pack.
