✨ Key Features

📦 Dynamic Inventory Tooltips

Hover over any Shulker Box in your inventory to instantly see its contents in a clean, beautifully rendered tooltip. The tooltip natively adapts to the color and dye of the box, ensuring it looks just like a Vanilla UI element.

🔍 Smart Compact Mode

Carrying a box full of just one type of block? Better Shulkers detects single-item boxes (like a shulker full of Cobblestone) and automatically minimizes the tooltip into one enlarged icon displaying the total count. This saves a massive amount of screen space and keeps your inventory clean.

⌨️ Advanced Tooltip Expansion

You can expand minimized tooltips to see the exact slot layout by holding a hotkey! You can bind absolutely any key or mouse button in the settings. The prompt text on the tooltip will dynamically update to reflect your custom key (e.g., Press [LEFT SHIFT] for details).

⚙️ Quick Management GUI Buttons

When you actually open a Shulker Box, you'll find two new, seamless buttons added to the interface:

  • Sort: A single click instantly organizes all items inside the box. It also automatically merges incomplete item stacks together to save space!
  • Empty: Instantly unpacks the entire contents of the box directly into your player inventory with one click.

🔧 Fully Configurable

Powered by Cloth Config and fully integrated with ModMenu, you can customize almost everything directly in-game:

  • Toggle tooltips, compact mode, or specific GUI buttons.
  • Adjust the scale of the item counter text.
  • Change the width of the GUI buttons to fit your UI scale.
  • Enable or disable stack merging during sorting.
  • Prioritize armor and weapons so they are sorted first.
  • (The mod bundles Cloth Config natively, so it's entirely standalone—no extra libraries required!)

📥 Installation

Simply drop the .jar file into your mods folder.

  • (Optional but Recommended) Install ModMenu to access the in-game configuration screen.
