Ax Shulkers Plugin FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I open a shulker box from my inventory?
Open your player inventory, then right-click (or interact with) any shulker box in your inventory slots. The box's storage screen will open instantly without needing to place it on the ground.
Why can't I see what's inside my shulker box before opening it?
The mod hides shulker box contents from tooltips by design—this prevents players from peeking inside without actually opening the box. You must interact with the box to see what items are stored inside.
I'm getting a cooldown message when I try to open my shulker box. Why?
Server owners can set cooldown timers to prevent players from spamming open and close actions on shulker boxes. Wait for the cooldown period to expire before you can open the box again.
What items can't go inside my shulker box?
Server owners can block specific items from being stored in shulker boxes. Check with your server admin about which items are restricted, as this varies by server configuration.
Can I open shulker boxes in all worlds?
No—server owners can ban shulker box access in specific worlds. If you get a message saying you can't open your box, you're in a banned world; try moving to an allowed area.
How does this mod prevent item duplication?
Instead of storing item data on the shulker box itself, the mod saves all contents to a server database. This stops players from duplicating items by exploiting container mechanics.
Do my items stay safe if the server crashes?
Yes—items are saved to the database every time you close your shulker box screen, so your contents are protected even if the server restarts unexpectedly.
Can I use shulker boxes in the Nether or End?
That depends on your server's configuration. If your server admin has banned shulker box access in those dimensions, you won't be able to open them there.
What should I do if a shulker box won't open?
Check if you're in a banned world, if a cooldown timer is active, or if the box contains blocked items. If none of those apply, ask your server admin to use `/axshulkers clear` on the box to reset its data.
Can other players see or steal items from my shulker box?
No—each player's shulker box contents are stored separately in the database and only that player can access them. Other players cannot open or view your boxes.
