If you have played Minecraft for long enough, you know how much inventory all your items take. One of the most difficult things you can face is having no inventory space during long journeys away from your base. This is where a Shulker Box can help you out. The Shulker Box is a special type of storage that does not drop items when broken—it drops the box itself.

If you break a normal wooden chest full of stuff, all the items drop as well. But a Shulker Box holds anything it has inside it. This makes it a perfect item to carry in your inventory anywhere you go. Moreover, a single Shulker Box has 27 slots inside it, making it equal to a normal wooden chest but better.

But how do you make it? Here’s a simple guide to help you make a Shulker Box in Minecraft.

Here are all the items that you need to craft one Shulker Box:

  • 2x Shulker Shell
  • 1x Chest

And here’s how you obtain these:

  • Shulker Shell: It is quite difficult to get this item. Firstly, you have to beat Minecraft by defeating the Ender Dragon. Then, you have to use a special portal to reach the End Islands. Here, you can find End Cities with Shulker mobs guarding them. You can get Shulker Shell by killing Shulkers.
  • Chest: You can craft a Chest by placing eight wooden blocks in a Crafting Table. Leave the middle spot open and fill the rest. 

Now that we have the necessary items, here’s how you craft a Shulker Box.
