Check shulker box contents in your inventory

Viewing shulker boxes while holding them

When you're carrying shulker boxes in your inventory or holding them in your hand, you can still hover over them to see their contents via tooltip. This works the same way as checking containers in the world.

Practical uses

This is especially useful when:

• Deciding which shulker box to place down
• Organizing multiple boxes before unpacking
• Verifying contents before trading or moving items
• Managing portable storage during adventures

Comparing containers

You can quickly compare the contents of different shulker boxes by hovering over each one. This helps you decide which box to unpack first or which one has space for new items.

No need to open

Since tooltips work on shulker boxes just like other containers, you save time and inventory space by not having to open them to check what's inside. This is especially valuable when your inventory is nearly full.
