Not able to open an inventory of a shulker box not placed(item stack).

Sample code:

Player player = /* ... */;

ShulkerBox state = (ShulkerBox) meta.getBlockState();
player.openInventory(state.getInventory());

@md_5 The problem with using a fake chest inventory is shulker box items can be placed into them. Would have been much better and simpler solution to add the current world the player is in to the tile entity data, similar to how opening a fake enchanting table currently does it.

Added clear exception disallowing this behaviour.
You should create a fake chest to open

So you want support for opening the inventory of an unplaced shulker box?
Spigot could add some patches to support that. But applying changes of the inventory back to the shulker box won't be that easy.

Anyway, this is a feature request, not a bug and it's far from being "Major".
