The Shulker Box has a twofold benefit – it increases your inventory capacity and also protects the items in it. Many players choose to use their Shulker box as a decoration item since it can be dyed in different colors as well. In order to make the Shulker Box, players will have to be at an advanced stage in the game where they have defeated the dragon and are in the end cities. One of the most desirable items in Minecraft would have to be the shulker box. While defeating the dragon only really rewards a boat load of experience, the true reward is found in end cities. The shulker enemies found in end cities will drop shulker shells which can be used to make shulker boxes. These shulker boxes will hold twenty-seven inventory slots and will keep its inventory when it is broken. This means you can hold many more stacks of items with you as you travel across the land.

These projectiles do not do much damage on their own, but the levitating effect they inflict on you can cause you to take a lethal amount of fall damage.
