ShulkerPreview adds a rich tooltip to every Shulker Box (any color) that shows its contents the moment you hover your cursor over it — in your inventory, a chest, a shop display, anywhere. The preview grid uses the exact same 9×3 slot layout and background as the real Shulker Box screen, so it looks and feels like a natural extension of vanilla Minecraft.
Simply hover your mouse over any Shulker Box item — in your hotbar, inventory, a container, or even in Creative/JEI/REI search — and the tooltip will expand to show a full grid of what's stored inside.

mods folder.Does this work on empty Shulker Boxes? An empty box has no contents to preview, so the extra grid is skipped — you'll just see the normal vanilla tooltip.
Does this affect multiplayer or need to be installed by everyone? No — it's purely a client-side rendering feature. Only players who want the preview need to install it.
Can I use this alongside inventory mods like JEI or invtweaks? Yes, it doesn't touch any inventory logic — it only adds to the tooltip rendering, so it's compatible with virtually everything.
