Shulker box contents viewable in GUI

By far the most annoying thing in Minecraft is having to find your items in the correct shulker box. There's a mod that provides this functionality (shulker box viewer), but I'd rather play with as few mods as possible. 

 

The idea is that, when you hover over a shulker box in any inventory/container, you will see what the shulker box contains. 

 

Image above was copied off the Shulker Box viewer curse forum. This shulker box contains two stacks of various colors of wool. 128 is shown instead of two seperate stacks of 64 to make it easier to spot the correct item.

    This is already possible if you turn item info on with F3+H and hover over the shulker box. 
    Might need to restart your game but I don't remember. 
    It only shows the items in list form, but it does what you're asking.

    With the new 1.17 announced and with the addition of Bundles, they show a interesting item preview screen that could possibly be retrofitted to the Shulker box, with a small difference, where instead of showing every thing, it would show only one item per Shulker slot, 27 in total.

    Cons - You would not know the amount of items, only a general view

    Pro - is a very simple screen and would not give the player the idea off accessing the shulker directly through your inventory
