Colored Shulkers

A highly configurable mod that improves colored Shulkers!

If you're a modpack developer wanting to add Colored Shulkers to a modpack distributed outside of CurseForge or Modrinth, use File Director to avoid reuploading Colored Shulkers' files.

Colored Shulkers hopes to make Shulkers a little more interesting and less overlooked in heavily modded playthroughs (at least a little bit :P) by allowing colored Shulkers to appear in End Cities and by giving Shulker Shells new uses!

This mod does not add any new Shulker entities. Fun fact: The color of a Shulker entity could actually be changed by commands in Vanilla as far back as 1.11!

This mod backports the proper Purple Shulker from 1.13, including a Purple Shulker Box and Purple Shulker Shell! Also adds a rare Rainbow Shulker (that cycles through colors in a fading rainbow effect), whose shells can be shattered into many Shulker Shells by right-clicking.

Vanilla's old "Purple Shulker Box" item is treated as a "colorless" Shulker Box, and is now simply called "Shulker Box". It can still be made by using Vanilla's Shulker Shells, or by placing a colored Shulker Box by itself in a crafting table (any contents within the colored Shulker Box will remain inside).

Colored Shulkers transforms Vanilla's BlockShulkerBox.getBlockByColor(color) method to make it return the new Purple Shulker Box, so any mods using that will also use the new Purple Shulker Box.

Shulkers and Shulker Boxes can be dyed any color by right-clicking them with colored Shulker Shells, or any Forge-regognized dye item. Shulkers and Shulker Boxes can also be washed by right-clicking them with a water bottle, or any item that contains at least 250mb of water.

Shulker entities with a color will now drop colored Shelker Shell items with a corresponding color! Can also be crafted with a dye item and a Shuker Shell.

These can be crafted back into the Vanilla colorless Shulker Shell item, crafted into Shulker Boxes of their color, or turned into 8 of their corresponding dye by crafting them together with a bowl.

The bowl recipe + shell dying recipe can be used together to easily get lots of dyes! Support for various modded grinders also exists, as an alternative to using a bowl. The recipes to create blue dye, black dye, brown dye, or white dye are only generated if any of the following mods are present (which add the missing dye items):

• Biomes O' Plenty Adds blue dye, black dye, brown dye, and white dye.
• Future MC Adds blue dye, black dye, brown dye, and white dye.
• Quark Adds blue dye, black dye, and white dye.
• Actually Additions Adds black dye.
• Extra Utilities Adds blue dye.
• Natura Adds blue dye.

Colored Shulkers adds special support for the following mods:

• Bauble Shulker Boxes Supports the new Purple Shulker Box and Rainbow Shulker Box.
• Bookshelf All new items are added to their respective ore dictionary entries (unless disabled by Bookshelf via its config).
• Industrial Craft / IC2 Classic Right-clicking Shulkers and Shulker Boxes with Paint Rollers will dye them that color.
• Just Enough Resources New mob loot entries for colored Shulkers are added to Just Enough Resources.
• Quark All improvements to Shulker Boxes support the new Purple Shulker Box and Rainbow Shulker Box.
• Shulker Drops Two Supports colored Shulker Shells.
• Shulker Tooltip Supports the new Purple Shulker Box and Rainbow Shulker Box.
