What is Shulker Box in Minecraft?
A shulker box is a portable chest with a default 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. It is one of the most valuable utility blocks in the game.
How to get Shulker Box in Minecraft
The only way to get a shulker box is by crafting it. It does not generate naturally in the world. The crafting recipe requires materials from the very end of the game. To craft one, you will need two shulker shells and one chest. Shulker shells are only dropped by Shulkers, which are the box like 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 shulker box.
How to use Shulker Box in Minecraft
The main use for a 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. You can also dye a shulker box any of the 16 colors by crafting it with a piece of dye.
