About

The Shulker Box is a storage block that holds up to 27 items and preserves its inventory when broken or placed. Unlike a chest, you can pick up a filled Shulker Box and carry it with you, its contents travel with it. Because it does not stack, each Shulker Box occupies a full inventory slot, even when empty.

Break it with any tool or by hand; it has a hardness of 2.0 and drops itself intact. Admins often use Shulker Boxes to consolidate player supplies during server events or to transport large quantities of materials between locations. Spawn one with /give @p minecraft:shulker_box 1.
