What is Black Shulker Box in Minecraft?
A black shulker box is a special, portable chest with a sleek, dark black color. Its amazing ability is that it can hold items inside it, even when you break it and pick it up. A regular chest would drop all its contents on the ground, but a black shulker box keeps everything safely stored inside its own inventory. This makes it one of the most useful items in the game for carrying a large number of items with you. It is like having a backpack inside your backpack. This is incredibly useful for long mining trips, moving your base, or for exploring far away lands. The black shulker box is an essential tool for any player who wants to master inventory management and become a true adventurer.
How to get Black Shulker Box in Minecraft
The only way to get a black shulker box is by crafting it. It does not generate naturally in the world. The crafting recipe requires two shulker shells and one chest. The hardest part of this is getting the shulker shells. Shulkers are box like enemies that are only found in End cities, which are rare structures in the End dimension that you can only get to after defeating the Ender Dragon. When you defeat a shulker, it has a chance to drop a shulker shell. Once you have two shells and a regular chest, open a crafting table. Place the chest in the very center slot, place one shulker shell in the slot above it, and the other shulker shell in the slot below it. This will create a regular, purple shulker box. To make it black, simply combine it with a piece of black dye in a crafting grid.
How to use Black Shulker Box in Minecraft
To use a black shulker box, you place it on the ground just like a chest. You can then right click it to open its 27 inventory slots and store your items inside. The magic happens when you break the box. Instead of spilling its contents, the box will drop as a single item, with all your other items still inside it. You can then put this full shulker box into your own inventory or even inside another chest. This means you can effectively carry 27 stacks of items in a single inventory slot. This is a game changer for exploration and resource gathering. You can fill up multiple shulker boxes with cobblestone, wood, or treasures and carry them all back to your base in one trip. The different colors, like black, are great for color coding your storage system.
