FAQ
Do I need Silk Touch to keep the contents?
No. Any tool works — the box always drops as an item and keeps everything stored inside it.
What tool mines it fastest?
A pickaxe, though there is no minimum tier requirement to get the drop.
Can I stack multiple shulker boxes?
No, shulker boxes cannot be placed inside other shulker boxes or bundles.
Can pistons move a shulker box?
No. Pistons cannot push or pull shulker boxes; attempting to push one breaks it and drops it as an item.
