Have you ever tried to collect resources for a huge Minecraft house only to run out of storage space at one point? When that happens, you either have to leave some items behind or go to your base to empty your inventory and come back for the remaining items. Now it is not only time consuming but also frustrating. Fortunately, all of this can be fixed once you figure out how to make a Shulker box in Minecraft. But it takes a lot of initial effort to gather the ingredients for a Shulker box. So, without any time to waste, let's get started!

We've covered the mechanics, crafting recipe, usage, and even the steps on how to paint a Shulker box in this guide. Use the table below to skip the explanation and check out the crafting recipe.

When you try to create a Shulker box, you will most certainly encounter the hostile mob Shulker in Minecraft. It plays exclusively in the End dimension and that too around End ship and End City structures. Unlike other enemy mobs, Shulker does not engage in direct combat with players. Instead, it fires Shulker bullets, causing the unit to float for a limited period of time upon impact. However, the attack immediately leaves you vulnerable to serious fall damage in Minecraft.

Also, you can't spam attack Shulker to kill it. Every time the Shulker takes damage, it teleports to a new location. Then you must find it again before continuing your battle. While doing so, other Shulkers in the area, besides the one you're targeting, can attack you as well. But the question is – how are they useful for making a Shulker box? Let's find out.
