What does Shulker Peek add?

ShulkerPeek : Shulker Box Tooltip Preview for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge

See inside any shulker box without opening it.

ShulkerPeek is a client-side shulker box tooltip preview mod. Hover over any shulker box in your inventory and instantly see its full shulker box contents in a clean 9x3 visual grid. No placing. No opening. No guessing what is inside.

The tooltip background tint matches the box dye color so you can see inside shulker boxes at a glance before even reading the name. The fastest way to manage shulker box storage in survival, technical play, or any modpack with heavy item management.


How the shulker box tooltip preview works

When you hover over a shulker box item, ShulkerPeek checks for stored inventory data. If data is found, the default tooltip is replaced with a fully rendered shulker box contents grid showing all 27 slots. Box title, stack counts, and color tint are all optional and configurable.

Everything runs client-side only. ShulkerPeek reads item data already on the client and renders it visually. It does not send data to servers and needs no server-side installation works on any server.

  • Full 9x3 visual grid matching the real shulker inventory layout
  • Shulker box tooltip background tint matched to the dye color

Perfect for shulker box storage management

  • Modpacks with heavy inventory and item management
