The Tooltip Hiding Feature

This plugin hides what's inside your shulker boxes from the item tooltip that normally appears when you hover over items. This is a security feature—it prevents players from peeking at box contents without actually opening them.

What This Means in Practice

1. Hover over a shulker box in your inventory—you'll see the item name but no item list

2. To see what's inside, you must interact with the box to open the full storage screen

3. This applies to all shulker boxes, whether they're in your inventory or on the ground

4. The hidden contents are still saved safely in the database

Why This Matters

On servers, this prevents players from quickly scanning boxes without opening them, which can be useful for preventing accidental item loss or maintaining privacy in shared storage systems. It also reduces server load by not rendering tooltip data for large inventories.
