OpenShulker – Open Shulker Boxes in Hand, Right‑Click Air
OpenShulker is an ultra‑lightweight Paper / Folia plugin that does one simple thing: lets players open a shulker box GUI by right‑clicking air while holding it – no need to place the box on the ground.
Key Features
- Instant Access – Hold any shulker box and right‑click in the air to open the GUI instantly.
- Ultra‑Lightweight – Zero configuration, zero dependencies, minimal performance footprint.
- Drop‑and‑Go – Just place it in the
pluginsfolder – no setup required. - Folia‑Ready – Optimised for Folia's threading model, compatible with Paper and its forks (e.g. Purpur).
- Built‑in Protection – Includes anti‑exploit measures to prevent item duplication via GUI interactions.
- Open Source – Licensed under the MIT License – free to use, modify, and distribute.
Requirements
- Server Version: Paper 26.1.2+ or Folia 26.1.2+
- Not Compatible With: Spigot / CraftBukkit
How to Use
- Place the
.jarfile into your server'spluginsfolder. - Restart the server (a restart is recommended over
/reload). - Players hold any shulker box (including dyed variants) and right‑click on air – the GUI will open immediately.
Note: Right‑clicking on a block will still place the shulker box normally, so building is not affected.
Notes
- This plugin only adds the open‑in‑hand functionality; it does not alter placement, breaking, or redstone behaviour.
- Completely configuration‑free – ready to use out of the box.
