Easy Shulker Boxes lets you fully interact with shulker boxes directly from your inventory. Insert items, remove items, browse contents, and manage storage without placing boxes on the ground. 📦

Inspired by Minecraft's modern bundle mechanics, the mod makes portable storage feel natural and intuitive. Scroll through stored contents 🖱️, select exactly which item you want 🎯, move items in or out with simple clicks, transfer items across multiple slots using mouse dragging, or use single-item mode for precise inventory management. ✨

Beyond vanilla shulker boxes, the mod also supports ender chests and can be extended to work with storage items from other mods through data packs. 🔗

Unlike simple tooltip mods, this is not a client-only mod. It adds real inventory interactions and must be installed on both the client and server. If you only want to preview shulker box contents in tooltips, check out the client-side alternative: Shulker Box Tooltip by MisterPeModder. 💡
