Sulker
by TPO
Sulker lets players save named shulker box layouts on the client and reapply them to any shulker box with the same name.
What it does
A layout is saved from a shulker box after the player arranges items inside it and runs the save command. Saved templates are stored locally and work across worlds, so a layout set up once can be reused anywhere a box carries the same name. Shulkers that share a name intentionally show the same layout, which makes named boxes behave as reusable inventory presets.
Sulker is a client-side mod for Fabric and runs with no server component, so only the client needs it. It is released under the MIT License but is not open source. Files are published for Minecraft 26.1.2 and 26.2, and the latest Fabric build is 0.1.3 for 26.2, dated 2026-06-16. Mod Menu is optional, and when it is installed Sulker exposes the same options through the Mod Menu configure screen.
Key features
Saved named layouts
Opening a shulker, naming it at an anvil and arranging items inside lets the player save that arrangement as a template.
Ghost items for empty slots
Slots that should hold an item but are empty show a faded ghost image, and when the cursor rests on one, the tooltip matches the one the real item would produce.
Missing and low-count warnings
Wrong items get a red background, and items below a set count get an amber background. Thresholds at 75%, 50% and 25% can be turned off.
Component-aware matching
Saved templates keep item components, so potions, maps and banners are matched by their saved variant, and renamed items still match.
Target counts and quick commands
Save records stack sizes as target counts, and item count and set item commands adjust targets without rebuilding the whole shulker.
Command feedback and memory
Command feedback names the template, and the recently opened shulker is remembered for 60 seconds unless a template name is supplied.
Compatibility

Use cases

What the author says
Sulker is a client-side Minecraft Fabric mod for named shulker box templates. Named shulker boxes act as reusable inventory layouts. A shulker's custom name is the template key, so multiple shulkers with the same name intentionally share the same layout.
