The Shulker Archives is a project run and maintained by Kadalyst intended to preserve copies of as many Shulker Kits, Items, Books and NBT-Related things as possible, while still maintaining a degree of quality.

It was initially a website-based collection, formerly located here, and presently located at ShulkerArchives-Legacy, but it quickly grew outdated and broken due to Minecraft introducing breaking changes to NBT, and a colossal mess internally due to multiple major rewrites.

On November 13th 2023, the website-based collection was marked as No Longer Maintained (NLM) due to multiple major issues, and focus turned to a map-based alternative, which debuted with its beta.1 release in mid-January 2024, and full v1.0.0 release on February 1st.

The Archives were reworked and re-released with v2.0.0 on November 7th 2024 (nearly 11 months after v1.0.0’s debut) due to the Minecraft 1.20.5 update rewriting NBT into the new Components system, and breaking many items in the Archives. v2.0.0 used a brand-new map, with better scalability, and a more choice selection of entries.

As of February 2026, The Shulker Archives is no longer receiving updates, and has been succeeded by the NBT Library.
