Upgraded Shulkers
by kyrptonaught
Upgraded Shulkers adds shulker box upgrades on Fabric that enlarge the box from 27 slots to 54, 81 or 108, with a netherite tier that resists lava and blasts.
What it does
Shulker boxes can be fitted with an upgrade that raises their capacity. Each tier offers more slots than the one before it, so a single box can hold a far larger stack of items than the vanilla version. The netherite tier is built to withstand lava and explosions, which vanilla shulkers do not.
The mod is a client and server mod: the server and every player need it for upgraded boxes to work in multiplayer. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code and issue tracker public. Files target 1.18.2 – 1.19.4 across six release versions, and the latest Fabric build, 1.1.3-1.19.4, was published on 2023-03-28 for 1.19.4.
Key features
Bigger upgraded shulkers
Upgraded shulker boxes come in 54, 81 and 108 slot sizes, each a step up from the base box.
Netherite tier
The netherite upgrade provides 108 slots and is protected against lava and blast damage.
Automatic storage
With an upgrade installed, items picked up while the box is in the inventory go straight into the box.
Automatic deletion option
An alternate behavior deletes picked-up items instead of storing them, for players who want items cleared automatically.
Compatible with QuickShulker
The upgraded boxes work alongside QuickShulker, so both mods can be used in the same world.

Use cases
Long expeditions
A player carrying building materials or loot on a trip can rely on a larger box instead of several standard shulkers.
Base storage
Upgraded boxes placed at a base hold bulk resources in fewer containers.
Who it’s for: Players who run out of space in standard shulker boxes, and server owners who want a larger storage option without adding another mod to the list of required installs.
How it compares
BackpackMod is a Fabric mod that covers portable backpacks, not shulker boxes, and was published for 1.18.2 – 1.19. Shulkers In Shulkers is a Fabric and Quilt mod for 1.19.2 that nests shulker boxes inside each other, while Upgraded Shulkers enlarges a single box. Both alternatives are open source under the MIT License, like this mod.
