Shulker Chests

January 24, 2024  Game Mechanic v2.2.1

Created by: PvPqnda

For Minecraft 1.17+

Datapack Features:

  • Enables chests to keep their items inside when broken!

  • Breaking a container will drop the chest with the items still inside, without dropping all of the contents everywhere.

  • Placing a container back down will retain any items that were still inside!

  • Even works in creative mode!
    (Unless the silk touch requirement setting is enabled)

  • This affects chests, trapped chests, and barrels!

  • Filled containers will display their contents in text when hovered over in an inventory just like shulker boxes!

  • By default, silk touch is required on the tool mining a container in order for it to retain its contents!
    (This can be disabled in the Admin Info page)

  • Supports the Expanded Storage mod v7.3.11 for both Forge and the Fabric Loader!

  • Still prevents infinite storage by putting filled containers inside filled containers!

  • Admins may type “/function shulkerchests:admin_info” to toggle individual categories of containers, or whether or not silk touch is required!
