How to obtain
Shells drop from shulkers in End cities. Looting improves extra-drop chances, and shulker duplication mechanics make renewable farms possible.
Primary use
Two shells and a chest craft a shulker box. It retains contents when broken and can be dyed, dramatically increasing portable storage.
Important mechanics
A filled shulker box cannot be placed inside another shulker box. Breaking it drops the box with its contents data intact, and naming helps organize sets.
Practical tips
Bring boxes into End cities to carry elytra and loot. Color and name them by category, and keep the most valuable boxes inside an Ender chest.
