⬇ Download on ModrinthOpenShulk is a lightweight Minecraft Paper plugin that lets players open shulker boxes directly from their inventory, no need to place them in the world first. Just right-click a shulker box, and a new GUI will appear for easy access.
Key Features
- Open shulker boxes without placing them
- Fully server-side, no client mods required
- Lightweight and server-friendly
- Works automatically with no commands or configuration needed
Functionality
In vanilla Minecraft, accessing a shulker box requires placing it in the world first, which can be cumbersome, especially in tight spaces or when managing inventory on the go. OpenShulk streamlines this process by allowing players to open shulker boxes directly from their inventory. Just right-click the item to view and manage its contents instantly.
Installation
OpenShulk is a server-side plugin. Simply drop it in your plugins folder and reload your server. No client installation is necessary.
Disclaimer
OpenShulk works with standard shulker boxes in inventory. Compatibility with modded shulker-like items may vary depending on how those mods handle inventories.
