Tiered Shulkers
Tiered Shulkers adds upgraded shulker boxes in five tiers, each holding more stacks than the vanilla box it replaces.
What it does
Upgrade shulker boxes hold more items than vanilla boxes. The tiers are copper at 45 stacks, iron at 54, gold at 81, and diamond, obsidian and crystal at 108 each, where obsidian is explosion proof and crystal is transparent. Each tier comes as a dyed variant, so a box can be sorted by color as well as by capacity.
Upgrades are applied at a crafting table by right-clicking a shulker box with the upgrade item. The mod is Forge only, for game versions 1.18 – 1.19.2, and runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Its code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, which makes it open source, and public links exist for the source code, issue tracker and wiki.
Key features
Copper and iron tiers
Copper shulker boxes hold 45 stacks and iron boxes hold 54, the first two steps above the vanilla capacity.
Gold and diamond tiers
Gold boxes store 81 stacks and diamond boxes 108, for players who carry large inventories between storage sites.
Obsidian and crystal variants
Obsidian boxes resist explosions and crystal boxes are transparent, and both hold 108 stacks.
Crafting table upgrades
A shulker box is upgraded at a crafting table by right-clicking it with the matching upgrade item.
Dye colors for every tier
Each tier comes in dye colors, so boxes of the same capacity can still be told apart in a base.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Bulk storage in a base
Upgraded boxes let a base keep more items in each portable container, with fewer boxes needed for the same stock.
Who it’s for: Players who keep large stockpiles in shulker boxes and server owners who want a larger portable storage option than vanilla provides.
How it compares
NetherBarrels is a Forge option that is open source under the MIT License, client and server, for 1.18.2, and it adds barrels rather than shulker boxes. Shulker Enchantments is open source under the MIT License, client and server, and supports 1.16.5 – 1.20.1, so it covers older versions than Tiered Shulkers.
