FAQ
Do I lose the items inside if I mine a Yellow Shulker Box?
No. Mining it with any tool preserves its full inventory; the box simply becomes an item again with everything still packed inside.
Does dyeing a shulker box empty it?
No. Recoloring a shulker box with dye keeps its stored items untouched.
Can I stack multiple shulker boxes in my inventory?
No. Shulker boxes never stack, even if empty, since each one can independently hold its own set of items.
How do I open a placed shulker box if there's a block above it?
You can't normally, but placing an upside-down slab or a top-mounted trapdoor above it still leaves enough clearance to open the lid.
