Shulker Box
minecraft:shulker_boxThe Shulker Box is a portable, dyeable storage container crafted from a Shulker Shell and a chest. Unlike every other storage block, it keeps its 27-slot inventory intact when mined, so the box (and everything inside it) can be picked up and moved without losing contents.
Uses
- Portable Storage — Carries its full inventory when broken and re-placed, letting players stockpile dozens of extra chests worth of items in their own inventory or shulker-box "backpacks."
- Dyed Variants — Combine with any dye to recolor the box; undyeing requires washing it in a cauldron with water.
Found In
- End Cities — Generates inside End City towers, guarded by Shulkers that also drop Shulker Shells.
- Crafted — Made from 1 Shulker Shell + 1 Chest at a crafting table.
Drops
- shulker box× 1
FAQ
Does breaking a Shulker Box destroy its contents?
No. It is the only storage block that preserves its inventory as an item when mined, making it ideal for hauling large amounts of gear.
What tool should I use to mine it?
A pickaxe is fastest, but it can be broken with any tool or bare hands since it requires no minimum tool tier.
Can I stack multiple Shulker Boxes in my inventory?
No, filled or empty Shulker Box items do not stack, though players commonly carry many of them to multiply storage space.
Where do Shulker Shells come from?
Shulkers, hostile mobs found in End City towers, drop Shulker Shells on death with a small chance (higher with Looting).
