In the short time we got to use shulker chests I found them to be the single greatest addition to minecraft in a long time.
It significantly reduced the chest clutter and storage area in my base by allowing me to condense down huge stores of items. It also allowed for easier transfer of large quantity for trades or large building projects. They also significantly improved and expanded my ender chest storage ability. I feel a special villager trade needs to exist only at spawn to control the price and protect the economy. If a fair price was set say 1 diamond per chest like Cephid had done all who want them can go mine diamonds and purchase as many as they want. Being that you can purchase them for a set price you would stop someone from going into the end collecting as many as possible and then gouging the market.
So by adding aspecial trade you wouldin fact protect the servers economy while making these available for all to use. Ifthey were added to crafty crates the potential for price gouging still exists so a special villager trade is the best choice.
please consider adding this because it really excited me to play minecraft again with this update addition. thank you
