A Brown Shulker Box is a portable storage block in Minecraft that retains its contents even when broken.

The brown variant has a natural, earthy tone, making it a great choice for rustic builds, nature-inspired storage rooms, and survival-friendly organization.

Where Can a Brown Shulker Box Be Found?

Brown Shulker Boxes do not generate naturally and must be crafted by players. To craft one, players need a standard Shulker Box and a Brown Dye. A Shulker Box is made using two Shulker Shells and a Chest, with Shulker Shells obtained by defeating Shulkers in End Cities. Brown Dye is crafted from cocoa beans, which are primarily found growing on jungle trees. Once dyed, a Shulker Box permanently retains its brown color but can still be broken and moved while keeping its stored items. More details about crafting and obtaining Shulker Boxes can be found in the Shulker article.
