Simple Shulkers
Tired of early-game inventory struggles? Unlock portable storage long before you reach The End!
Overview
Simple Shulkers is the perfect solution for your early Minecraft adventures. This mod introduces wooden shulker boxes, giving you much-needed portable storage without requiring late-game resources. Easily crafted from common Overworld materials, these boxes are ideal for extending your mining trips, expanding your exploration, and reducing those annoying trips back to base.
This mod adds three types of wooden shulker boxes - Oak, Spruce, and Birch - each providing essential 9-slot storage while maintaining vanilla game balance.
Features
- Craftable early-game shulker boxes from common wood types
- Portable 9-slot storage without needing End access
- Contents tooltip showing stored items at a glance
- Full dispenser compatibility like vanilla shulkers
- Preserves items when broken - never lose your stored items
- Seamless vanilla integration with animations and sounds
How it Works
Crafting Shulker Shells
Craft specialized shells using 5 stripped logs of matching wood type in an upside-down 'U' shape:

Creating Shulker Boxes
Combine 2 shells + 1 vanilla chest in vertical arrangement (Shell-Chest-Shell):

Using Your Shulker Boxes
- Place/Open: Right-click to place and access 9 storage slots
- Check Contents: Hover over box to see items inside (shows up to 5 items)
- Break Safely: Contents stay preserved when broken
- Dispenser and Piston Ready: Works automatically with dispensers/pistons.
