What is Purple Shulker Box in Minecraft?
A purple shulker box is a portable chest with a rich, royal purple color. It is a very special type of container that has a game changing ability. The main purpose of a shulker box is to act as a backpack. You can fill it with up to 27 stacks of items, just like a regular chest. However, when you break a shulker box, all the items inside stay inside the box item. This means you can carry a chest full of items around in a single inventory slot. This is incredibly useful for moving your base, going on long mining trips, or just carrying a lot more stuff than your inventory would normally allow. The purple shulker box is the default color and is iconic to the End dimension.
How to get Purple Shulker Box in Minecraft
There are two ways to get a purple shulker box. The first way is to craft it. This is the default color you get when you first craft a shulker box. To do this, you will need two shulker shells and one chest. Shulker shells are only dropped by Shulkers, which are mob enemies found exclusively in End Cities. To find an End City, you must first defeat the Ender Dragon. After the dragon is defeated, a special portal will appear that can take you to the outer islands of the End, where End Cities are located. You must explore these cities to find and defeat Shulkers to get their shells. Once you have two shells, place them in a crafting table with a chest in the middle to create one purple shulker box. The second way is to dye any other color of shulker box with purple dye.
How to use Purple Shulker Box in Minecraft
The main use for a purple shulker box is for mass item transport. To use it, just place it down like a chest and right click to open it. You can then fill it with whatever items you want. When you are ready to move, just break the shulker box with any tool or your hand. It will drop as a single item. You can then put this item in your inventory. All the items you placed inside will be safely stored within it. You can even put a shulker box inside another shulker box, but only if it is empty. This makes them the ultimate tool for explorers and hoarders. A purple shulker box can also be used as a decorative block. Its royal color and unique opening animation make it a cool looking storage option for your base.
