About this Mod

Supported Versions:
Shulker Box Utils is a client-side Fabric mod that adds several quality-of-life improvements for shulker boxes, making it easier to manage and identify their contents at a glance.
Features:
- Floating World Icon: A small item icon floats above every placed shulker box in the world, showing the first item (or uniform item type) inside. No need to open the box just to remember what's in it.
- Inventory Badge: When a shulker box sits in your inventory, hotbar or chest, a miniature item icon is rendered on top of it so you can instantly identify its contents without hovering.
- Fill Indicator Bar: A colored bar (green β red) appears on shulker boxes in your inventory, indicating how full the box is, similar to a durability bar.
- Contents Preview Tooltip: Hovering over a shulker box in your inventory shows a full 9Γ3 grid tooltip of everything inside, including item counts and enchantment glints, exactly as it would look if you opened it.
Settings (configurable via keybind):
- Toggle each feature on or off individually
- Choose whether the world icon and badge show only when all items are the same type, or always show the first item
- All settings are saved per world

Does ShulkerBoxUtils need to be installed on the Minecraft server?
No. Modrinth marks ShulkerBoxUtils as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.
Which version and loader does ShulkerBoxUtils require?
Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.
ShulkerBoxUtils is not working β what should I check?
First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
