Bug Description

Upon hovering on shulker box that contains item with name colored using legacy-formatted text it is displayed as JSON value. Similar behavior is described in the issue #575.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Log in with 1.12.2 client.
2. Take an empty shulker box.
3. Obtain item with colored name.
4. Put the item inside a shulker box.
5. Break the shulker box and hover the cursor over it.

Expected Behavior

Item display name shoud be seen with colors and formatting like this:

---

I found that when an item is displayed inside a container, such as a player's inventory, its name is colored as expected.

Such effect is achieved by using tags that contain original text data: VB|Protocol1_12_2To1_13|2|Name for item display name and VB|Protocol1_13_2To1_14|oLore for lore respectively. And then plugin attaches legacy-formatted text inside Name and Lore tags.

Maybe it is possible to implement the same mechanism for display names inside shulker boxes?
