Better Shulker Boxes

Banner

Better Shulker Boxes is a highly interactive UI/UX mod that revolutionizes how you interact with Shulker Boxes in Minecraft. Instead of the tedious cycle of placing down a Shulker Box, opening it, interacting with it, breaking it, and picking it back up, this mod allows you to interact with Shulker Boxes and Ender Chests directly from your inventory using an advanced interactive tooltip!

Key Features

The Modern Tooltip

d

A flat rounded card, coloured by the box's own dye, with the container name and the selected item's name in tabs along its top edge. It is the default style as of 1.5.0, and the previous look is still available as the Vanilla style.

  • Modern — a dye-coloured card, no vanilla tooltip frame
  • Vanilla — built from the container's GUI texture, as before
  • Every dye has its own card colour, and Ender Chests have theirs
  • Theme and colour sliders apply to the Vanilla style; Modern colours itself

Full & Compact Tooltips

full and compact

Quickly check what is inside a Shulker Box without placing it down. Use the full 9×3 preview when you want to see every slot, or compact mode when you only need a small summary of the most important contents.

  • Full 27-slot preview for complete box contents
  • Compact mode with merged duplicate stacks
  • Compact shows the five largest stacks and a +N more footer for the rest
  • Total item counts in compact view, reading as 1.7k rather than 999+
  • Merged tools keep their durability bar
  • Empty compact containers stay hidden to reduce clutter

Fast Insertion & Extraction

insert&extract

Move items in and out of Shulker Boxes directly from the tooltip. The mod gives instant visual feedback while still keeping the server authoritative.

  • Hold left-click and drag to insert and right-click and drag to extract
  • Insert cursor-held items directly into boxes
  • Extract items directly from preview slots
  • Smart merging with existing stacks
  • Smooth client-side feedback with server-side validation

Select Slots and Extract with E

select and extract

Select specific slots from the tooltip and extract them together. This makes it easy to grab only the items you want without opening or placing the box.

  • Space selects or toggles tooltip slots
  • E extracts selected slots
  • If no slots are selected, E behaves normally and closes the inventory
  • Selections clear when you move to another container, so you never empty the wrong box

Keyboard & Scroll Navigation

s&a Navigate tooltip slots with the mouse wheel or arrow keys for faster control, especially when managing boxes with many items.

  • Mouse wheel selection movement
  • Arrow-key slot navigation, wrapping to the same column
  • Selection steps to the next slot that holds something instead of stopping on every empty one
  • Stable selected-slot highlight
  • Smooth selection behavior while hovering tooltips

Restock & Deposit

r&d

Use the Restock / Deposit key to quickly move matching items between your inventory and the hovered container. By default this key is R.

  • Press R while hovering a container preview to restock matching items
  • Use the same shift+R key to deposit matching inventory items into storage
  • Works with Shulker Boxes and Ender Chests
  • The keybind can be changed in Minecraft's controls menu

Resource Pack Compatibility

pack compatibility

Better Shulker Boxes is designed to respect custom GUI textures from resource packs, so previews can match the style of your current pack instead of looking out of place. This applies to the Vanilla tooltip style, which is drawn from the container GUI texture.

  • Supports custom shulker/container GUI textures
  • Supports colored shulker GUI styles where available
  • Automatic layout profiles for OptiGUI/OptiFine-style packs
  • Packs can ship their own slot layout at assets/bettershulker/layouts/*.json
  • X/Y slot offsets and bottom-cap controls in the settings screen for unusual packs
  • Tested showcase packs include:
    • Recolourful Containers
    • Default Dark Mode
    • GUI Retextures
    • Translucent GUI and HUD

This Packs Has Been Tested And 100% Working Other Packs Might Face Some Issues.

1.5.0Релиз26.2 · 14 августа 2026 г.

Changelog

1.5.0

New

  • Modern tooltip style — a flat rounded card coloured by the box's own dye, with the container and selected item names in tabs along the top. It is now the default; the previous look is still available as the Vanilla style. The theme and colour sliders apply to Vanilla only, and are greyed out under Modern, which colours itself.
  • The container bounce can be turned off, and is slower than it was.

Fixed

  • Arrow keys lost your column. Pressing Up from the top row jumped to the far corner of the grid instead of wrapping to the bottom of the same column. Down did the mirror of it.
  • The selection stopped on every empty slot. Crossing a box holding three items took two dozen presses. It now steps straight to the next slot that actually holds something.
  • Marks could empty the wrong box. Selecting slots with Space in one box and then pressing the extract key over a different box took items out of that box, at the same slot numbers. Marks now clear when you move to another container.
  • Full boxes still invited a drop. A box with no room left kept bouncing and showing the green + while you carried an item over it, and dragging across one played a sound per slot for nothing.
  • Interaction sounds fell back to a generic click when a whole stack went into, or came out of, an Ender Chest. Contextual Materials now picks the right sound for the item in both directions.
  • Compact mode hid stacks silently. It shows only the five largest, and now says how many it left out. Totals above 999 read as 1.7k rather than being flattened to 999+, and merged tools keep their durability bar.
  • The fill indicator ignored its own setting. The strip along the bottom of the tooltip stayed on with Fill Indicator turned off, sat on the Modern card's border, and never appeared for Ender Chests under Modern.
  • The settings preview disagreed with the tooltip. It spelled out V whatever the key was really bound to, framed the selected slot in gold when the real one has no frame, and drew a name badge under Modern that no Modern tooltip has.

Removed

  • The item filter. It was unfinished and is gone rather than left half-working.

Internal

  • The five largest classes were split into twenty focused ones. No behaviour was meant to change, and each move was checked line by line against the original.
  • Added a client game test suite — twelve tests that open the inventory, click on slots, and check the results against the server. Run with gradlew :fabric:runClientGameTest.
1.4.0Релиз26.2 · 11 августа 2026 г.

Better Shulker Boxes 1.4.0

Minecraft 26.2 · Fabric · NeoForge · Quilt

New

  • Works in the creative inventory. Insert, extract, drag, restock and deposit all work with shulker boxes there now. Before, nothing happened.
  • "Check for Updates" toggle in the settings screen.

Fixed

  • Items looked like they moved when they hadn't. During fast batches of interactions, some were dropped and the preview kept showing the wrong contents.
  • Ender chest preview could be wrong after an action the server refused or handled differently. It now always matches the real chest.
  • Server lag from Deposit and Restock. Both did far more work than needed. Around 13x faster, with items still placed the same way.
  • Update message now appears once per game launch instead of on every world join.
  • Removed a crash risk in a rare container case that could stop a server.

Known limits

  • Ender chests do not work in the creative inventory. This cannot be fixed. Their contents live on the server, and creative mode has no way to change them. Shulker boxes work because their contents are stored inside the item.

Tested

By hand on NeoForge and Fabric: insert, extract, drag, multi-select, restock, deposit, ender chest, and creative mode. Quilt uses the same code as Fabric but was not tested directly.
