Uses

  • Portable Storage — Crafted from a chest and two shulker shells. Breaking a placed shulker box drops the block with its contents preserved, making it ideal for transporting large item stacks.

Found In

  • Crafted, not naturally generated — Undyed shulker boxes are crafted from a chest plus two shulker shells harvested from End City shulkers; dyeing with bone meal produces the white variant.

FAQ

Does mining a White Shulker Box destroy its contents?

No. Breaking a placed shulker box drops it as an item with all stored items still inside, unlike a chest which spills its contents.

Do I need Silk Touch to keep the items?

No. Shulker boxes always retain their inventory when mined, with any tool, no enchantment required.

Can White Shulker Box burn in fire or lava?

No. Shulker boxes are not flammable and will not be destroyed by fire or lava exposure.

Can I change a White Shulker Box to another color?

Yes. Placing it in a crafting grid with a different dye recolors it without harming its contents; washing it in a cauldron removes the dye entirely.
