A '''shulker box''' is a [[dye]]able [[block]] that stores items, and, unlike all other storage blocks, keeps its contents in [[item]] form when broken.

'''Dyed shulker boxes''' are the dyed variants of shulker boxes.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
All shulker boxes can be mined with any tool or by hand, but using a [[pickaxe]] is the most effective. All shulker boxes drop themselves when mined. Unlike other containers, the contents of any shulker box are stored within the dropped item, and not dropped separately. When instantly mined in Creative mode, all shulker boxes drop as an item if there are items stored within, unless {{cmd|gamerule doTileDrops}} is set to "false".
{{breaking row|Shulker Box,Dyed Shulker Box|sprite=,all shulker boxes|Pickaxe|drop=1|horizontal=1}}
When a shulker box is pushed by a [[piston]], it breaks and drops as an [[Item (entity)|item]]. It cannot be pulled.

== Usage ==
=== Storage ===
[[File:Shulker Box GUI.png|thumb|right|176px|GUI of the shulker box.]]

All shulker boxes have 27 inventory slots, the same as a [[barrel]] or a [[chest|single chest]].

All shulker boxes keep their items when broken, which can be retrieved when placed again, thus making them portable chests. This is different from other containers, which drop their contained items as item entities when broken. A shulker box drops itself as an [[item]] if pushed by [[piston]]s or destroyed by an [[explosion]]. Unlike most blocks with inventory, shulker boxes always drop themselves when destroyed by explosions. When a shulker box with items inside is being held{{only|be}} or is in a container's inventory, the items are listed on the tooltip as properties.

[[File:Shulker Box Tooltip.png|114px|thumb|Items inside the shulker box are listed on the [[tooltip]].]]

Any shulker box's items can be fed or removed by a [[hopper]].

All shulker boxes can be stored in all containers except for other shulker boxes and [[bundle]]s.

When placed by a player, a shulker box faces toward the player placing it. For example, if a shulker box is placed on a floor, a wall or a ceiling, it faces and opens upward, sideways or upside-down, respectively. [[Dispenser]]s can also be used to place shulker boxes. If there is no block below the space where the shulker box is placed, the shulker box faces identically to the dispenser. Otherwise, the shulker box always faces upward, even if the block has no hitbox such as torches, signs and open fence gates.

Like a chest, all shulker boxes require a transparent area in the direction of its top surface to be opened. That area is exactly half of a full block, and clear of any obstructions, which may be any other hitbox, including blocks, boats and shulkers{{Only|Java}}, or a redstone conductive block{{only|be}}. This way, any shulker box can be opened with an upside-down slab or an upper trapdoor on top of it. It is also unique in that when opened, its hitbox expands to 1.5 blocks high/wide, physically pushing entities where it is facing.

By default, the GUI of any shulker box is labeled "Shulker Box", which can be changed by naming it in an [[anvil]] or by changing the <code>CustomName</code> tag using the {{cmd|data}} command.{{only|Java}}

When any shulker box [[item (entity)|item]] is destroyed, the contents of the shulker box are dropped as items.

=== Piglins ===
[[Piglin]]s become hostile toward players who open or mine any shulker box.<ref>{{bug|MC-189485|||WAI}}</ref>

=== Undyeing ===
Dyed shulker boxes can be undyed using a [[cauldron]]. To do this, {{control|use}} a dyed shulker box on a cauldron that has water in it. This causes the cauldron's water level to decrease by 1, and the dyed shulker box loses its dye color.

=== Redstone component ===
The fullness of any shulker boxes, even if cannot be opened, can be read by redstone comparators, unlike chests.

[[Observer|Observers]] can detect the opening and closing of any shulker boxes.

Shulker boxes are conductive when closed, but not if open. However, opening or closing a shulker box does not update its neighboring blocks, which can be used to create [[Tutorials/Block update detector|BUD state]] redstone wires{{only|Java}}.
