Smart Shulker Unboxer
Smart Shulker Unboxer lets players open a Shulker Box and swap items with it directly from the hand, without placing the box first.
What it does
Holding a colored or standard Shulker Box in the main hand and right-clicking the air opens its contents at once. Players can also place a box from the main inventory and right-click it, or press the X key while aiming at a box. Items move between the player inventory and the box container by shift-click dragging, and the container updates the same way vanilla does.
The mod is built on Minecraft's data component system, so item contents stay in sync between client and server and are not duplicated or lost during swaps. It keeps the classic Shulker Box open and close sound effects. Installation requires Fabric API on the Fabric loader. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Fabric only, across 15 release versions, 1.21 – 26.1.2, under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
