Shulker Box Loot Table Convention

About

This convention aims to make Shulker Box Inventory Manipulation as conflicted-free as possible by enforcing a specific loot table for minecraft:yellow_shulker_box block.

Implementation

Simply use this loot table inside /data/minecraft/loot_tables/blocks/yellow_shulker_box.json when you want to use the Inventory Manipulation trick.
