Overview

Shulker Box Tooltip (also known as "What's in My Shulker Box?") is an essential quality-of-life mod designed to streamline inventory management. In vanilla Minecraft, players must place a Shulker Box on the ground and open it to see its contents. This mod removes that hurdle by rendering a graphical overlay when hovering over a container item in any inventory screen.

The mod is highly intelligent, automatically detecting the color of the Shulker Box and tinting the preview window to match. It supports not only standard Shulker Boxes but also Ender Chests (with server-side installation), barrels, chests, furnaces, and various modded storage solutions.
