Shulker Boxes
« on: 6 Jul 2017, 19:12:54 »
Was thinking it'd be nice to be able to use shulker boxes outside of the mining world so how about something like the ability to place them and after a short period they will return to inventory if you don't own the land? equally you could just have a system where if you place them on private land anyone can edit and destroy them so they don't cause people problems? just a few idea's tell me what you think.

I like the place them and then they return to your inventory idea!

Hmmm.  I mostly use shulker boxes to extend my inventory space while resource-gathering, or as overflow storage at home ... not sure what use they'd be where you can't build or break, i.e. don't need tools and can't collect stuff.

I suppose they might be handy for massive town shopping trips?  Maybe I'm missing a use case here ...

Personally I'd probably use it to store large amounts of block's in trades and store things like lapis, diamonds and tools when enchanting at grinders

This is definitely an interesting idea and something I'd not even considered, definitely something I'll consider doing a variant of in the longer-term if there is a good reason for wanting it.

Is there a particular reason you'd like to be able to do this that couldn't be solved by simply giving another player the shulker box with the contents temporarily anyway or by using /auction or a chest shop?

so uses I've thought of are:
storing different armour sets, e.g. prot gear and feather falling/depth boots or aqua affinity
Elytra's, spare fireworks and food
Stack of diamonds for daily /shop
Like I said selling several DC's of items like sand or dirt

and the thing I'd use it for the most is enchanting on other people's grinders because that really can fill up inventory very quickly if you're doing a lot at a go

this probably isn't an exhaustive list and admittedly there's rarely going to be a situation where you couldn't just store all these at home and tp back every time you need it but that seems to remove the purpose of shulker boxes entirely and I quite like them I just don't want to store my inventory in there at the moment in case I decided to take something out but couldn't without tp'ing to owned land.

I've done a lot of mob hunting in unowned areas of the wild and town worlds.  I can see how it would be beneficial to be able to access the extended storage of a shulker box in those spots.
