Shulker Vault
Have you ever want a vault to act fairly similar to a shulker box? The shulker vault retains its inventory and opens just like a shulker box.
About this Mod
Shulker Vault
A NeoForge-first storage mod that bridges the gap between Vanilla Shulker Boxes and the Create Mod ecosystem.
📦 Overview
Welcome to Shulker Vault, a mod designed to create physically interactive, automation-friendly, quality-of-life storage blocks that feel perfectly natural alongside both vanilla Minecraft and the Create mod.
This isn't just an animated container. It's a hybrid storage solution combining the mobility of a Shulker Box with the utility of Create's Item Vaults and Toolboxes, topped off with modern inventory conveniences.
✨ Features
The Base Shulker Vault
The core storage block of the mod, designed for everyday use and automation.
- Vanilla Familiarity: 27 inventory slots with physical lid-opening animations and player-lifting mechanics.
- High Capacity: Configurable per-slot stack multipliers (Defaults to
4x, allowing massive storage in a small footprint). - Create Integration: Fully supports Create-style interaction patterns. Works seamlessly with chutes, funnels, hoppers, and wrench pickups (which safely preserve your inventory!).
- Quality of Life: Built-in fast access and convenience interactions inspired by modern inventory mods.
The Advanced Shulker Vault
An upgraded, logistics-focused tier for power users and complex Create factories. Crafted via Mechanical Crafters using a Shulker Vault, an Electron Tube, and a Packager.
- All Base Features: Upgrading your base vault preserves its entire inventory and metadata.
- Direct Package Unpacking: Acts as its own package destination. It can receive and internally unpack Create packages directly from Frogports, funnels, and hoppers without needing a separate Packager block.
- Dedicated Package Slot: Includes a specialized overflow slot to safely hold incoming packages if the main inventory cannot fully accommodate the unpacked items.
- Smart Memory: Package-aware inventory memory behavior allows the block to predictably handle repeated deliveries of specific items.
- Searchable GUI: Easily find what you're looking for with built-in search capabilities.
⚙️ Requirements
- Minecraft: 1.21.1
- Mod Loader: NeoForge
- Dependencies: Create Mod
Note: Shulker Vault is currently developed exclusively for NeoForge. Fabric support is not currently planned.
🛠️ Configuration & Compatibility
Shulker Vault is built to play nice with your favorite modpacks.
- Configurable Multipliers: Adjust the per-slot stack multiplier in the configs to suit your modpack's balance.
- Smart Overrides: Built-in QoL interactions are designed to avoid conflicts with dedicated inventory mods (like Easy Shulker Boxes or Sophisticated Backpacks).
- Stack Merging: Items follow strict merging rules, ensuring components match perfectly before combining.
