xViewShulkers

by jn_willfrydev

xViewShulkers lets players see the contents of a Shulker Box by hovering over it in an inventory, without opening the box.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT License1.20.4 – 1.21.11

What it does

Hovering the mouse over a Shulker Box in an inventory shows a 9x3 grid with the items inside, so the box can be checked without opening it. The mod is a client-side tooltip change: only the player's client needs it, and servers and other players run without it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files target Fabric and cover 1.20.4 – 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest build on the beta channel.

Key features

  1. Shulker contents on hover

    Hovering over a Shulker Box shows its nine-by-three grid of items directly in the tooltip.

  2. Visual tooltip instead of text

    Contents appear as an icon grid, not as a list of item names that has to be read one line at a time.

  3. Works without setup

    The tooltip view is active once the mod is installed, with no configuration needed.
