Labeled shulker boxes show their item icon on the outside, even when placed. That makes them ideal for a storage wall where you can find things without opening every box.
Setting Up the Wall
1. Group your items into categories, such as ores, building blocks, redstone, food, and tools.
2. Choose one clear icon item for each category.
3. Use an anvil to label each box. Put the box in the first slot, the icon item in the second slot, and spend one experience level. You can also type a name in the same step.
4. Place the boxes in rows, with similar categories next to each other.
5. Stand where you normally look at the wall. Make sure every icon is readable from there.
Making It Easier to Read
- Open
/shulker-box-labels configand try both the 3D and isometric angles for placed blocks. Use whichever reads best from your viewing spot. - When you take a box with you, the icon still shows in your hotbar and inventory. Choose flat or standard in the same menu.
- After opening a box, check the icon next to its title to confirm you grabbed the right one.
Sharing Storage on a Server
The mod works on multiplayer servers and stays friendly for players on vanilla clients. That makes it practical for a shared base where not everyone has the same setup. Agree on a set of icons and naming rules with other players so everyone can follow the storage system.
