Random Shulker Colours
🎲 Gives new shulker spawns a random shell color based on a configurable list.
About this Mod
Random Shulker Colours is a configurable server-side mod which gives each new shulker spawn in the world a random colour. Instead of only having a purpur coloured shell, they'll have one of each of the 16 colours. It's also possible for them to spawn as the normal variant without a colour. You can configure the list of colours used. So if you'd for example only want to make them red that is also possible.
The shulker shell dropped is still the default one. This will prevent your inventory from getting clogged when farming the end, and means no custom items are added.
Note: A restart is required for any config changes to take effect.
