Better Shulker Boxes

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

Full & Compact Tooltips

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
• Total item counts in compact view
• Empty compact containers stay hidden to reduce clutter

Fast Insertion & Extraction

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 extract and right-click and drag to insert
• 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 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

Keyboard & Scroll Navigation

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
• Stable selected-slot highlight
• Smooth selection behavior while hovering tooltips

Restock & Deposit

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

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.

• Supports custom shulker/container GUI textures

• Tested showcase packs include:
  • Recolourful Containers
  • Default Dark Mode
  • GUI Retextures
