Easy Shulker Boxes
About the Mod
Easy Shulker Boxes dramatically improves working with shulker boxes, allowing you to use them directly from your inventory. No more need to place the box on the ground to check contents or add a few items! You can easily browse all items in the box and select the one you need.
And what's most amazing - this entire system works based on data packs! This means you can add support for almost any item. By default, ender chests are supported, as well as some backpacks and shulker boxes from other mods.
Main Features
Intuitive Interaction - click items on a shulker box in your inventory (or vice versa) to add and extract contents, similar to working with vanilla bundles.
Detailed Information - view shulker box contents directly in the tooltip. Hold the Alt key to force the tooltip to display, even when the cursor is holding another item or the box itself. Very convenient during interaction to keep track of contents.
Slot Selection - hover over a shulker box and use the mouse wheel to select the desired slot. No longer limited to extracting only the last item!
Additional Information - when scrolling through the shulker box tooltip, a second tooltip appears to the left of the item with information about the selected slot. Great for distinguishing enchanted tools!
Quick Filling - while holding a shulker box on the cursor, right-click and drag across multiple slots to quickly add items to the box or extract them if the slots are empty.
Precision Mode - hold the Ctrl key (Cmd on Mac) to enter precision mode: instead of entire stacks, only one item is moved. Use the mouse wheel to quickly select the desired amount.
Visual Indicators - watch for small indicators on shulker boxes when the cursor is holding an item. They show whether the item can be added and if such items already exist in the box.
Extensibility - visit the GitHub repository to learn how to add all these unique interactions to any items from any mods, including backpacks and modified shulker boxes!
