Shulker Tooltip Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) – Instantly View Shulker Box Contents Without Opening Them

The Shulker Tooltip Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) is a powerful inventory management enhancement that lets players quickly preview the contents of shulker boxes and other containers directly from their inventory. Instead of placing or opening shulker boxes to check what’s inside, this mod displays a clean, color-matched tooltip with full item previews. With additional keybinds and customization options, it streamlines storage usage, improves accessibility, and supports compatibility with other vanilla and modded containers. Whether you’re organizing builds or managing loot on the go, this mod saves clicks and time.

  • Hold Shift while hovering over a shulker box in your inventory to display a compact item summary.

  • Press “N” to open a new GUI showing the full shulker box contents without placing it.

  • The preview frame reflects the color of the shulker box, giving you quick visual identification (can be toggled off in settings).
• Supports modded containers:
  • Also works with barrels, chests, furnaces, and other modded storage blocks, not just shulker boxes.
• Creative compatibility:
  • Fully supports blocks obtained via Ctrl + Pick Block in creative mode, showing accurate contents.
