What if the shulker was actually able to camouflage, like the first idea mojang had in mind for him?
That's what inspired this pack, that changes the shulker to adapt to its surroundings, that means only the block below it. There are also many renamable variants, you can see in the gallery
Latest updates
this pack will be frequently updated
Yeah, about that... With this update we now have many new renamables, including the Charred, the Shulkerman, the Manshulker and some shulkerballs (which are just pokeballs), but we also have a new naturally spawning variant that camouflages even more and with even more blocks! You can also get it with renaming a shulker to "camouflage" if you don't want to get it by luck. To compensate, there's a new variant that does NOT camouflage, at all.
DESCRIPTION
Adapting Shulkers changes the texture of the shulker , making it feel more sturdy or, in other scenarios, more wooly. It adds some variants only available if the shulker spawned on certain blocks, mostly purpur, or renamed.
It also gives him the ability to change color based on the block it spawned on (or was when the pack was reloaded). But because there are too many blocks and because having more variants would lose the feel of an original, for now i'll stick to only end blocks like purpur, endstone, bedrock and obsidian, with some exeptions like sculk for the Sculker and the rare camouflage shulker that adapts to many more blocks like grass or netherrack.

Other than that, shulkers can change style based on the glazed terracotta under them, but only if its the same color as the shulker itself.
the shulker box IS affected, that means placing your shulker box on a glazed terracotta of the same color will affect its look.
The pack also slightly changes the shulker bullet to use the same palette as the new shulker
This pack is my approach at shulkers, like railiable is my approach at rails and minecarts.
OPTIFINE or ETF/EMF IS/ARE REQUIRED
Renamables (will be expanded)
The pack has gained compatibility to Respackopts: for now you can only choose if the familiar shulker should have the original texture or the same texture but with the color palette used on the regular shulker.
