Creative

When instantly mined in creative mode, shulker boxes will drop as an item if there are items stored within.

Usage

Unlike other storage units, such as chests, shulker boxes keep their items when broken, which can be retrieved when placed again. Shulker boxes will drop as an item if pushed by pistons, and can be placed using dispensers. When holding a shulker box with items inside, the items will be listed as properties.

Items inside the shulker box are listed below the block type properties.

Shulker boxes can be stored in other containers, though they cannot be stored in other shulker boxes.

A shulker box has 27 inventory slots, the same number as a chest.

By default, the GUI of a shulker box is labeled "Shulker Box", but this name can be customized by naming it in an anvil before placing it, or by changing the CustomName tag using the /blockdata command.

Mechanics

Compared with a regular Chest, a Shulker Box adds an extra level of convenience by remaining `intact` (with all of the items still inside of it) when it is broken. It can be carried around with the items inside of it, and it can be placed in the world again with the items still inside of it as well. When it is pushed by a piston, it will be destroyed, but when it is dispensed by a dispenser, it will be placed.

A Shulker Box can be dyed a particular color by placing it in a Crafting Table with a dye of the player`s choice.
