Blue Shulker Box

What is a Blue Shulker Box?

A Blue Shulker Box is a portable storage block in Minecraft that retains its contents even when broken. Unlike regular chests, it allows players to transport large quantities of items without needing to reorganize them after placement. The blue variant features a deep and rich hue, making it an excellent choice for oceanic builds, royal storage systems, and futuristic inventory organization.

Where Can a Blue Shulker Box Be Found?

Blue Shulker Boxes do not generate naturally and must be crafted by players. To craft one, players need a standard Shulker Box and a Blue Dye. A Shulker Box is created using two Shulker Shells and a Chest, with Shulker Shells obtained by defeating Shulkers in End Cities. Blue Dye can be obtained from lapis lazuli or cornflowers, both of which generate naturally in the Overworld. Once dyed, a Shulker Box permanently retains its blue color while still being breakable and movable with all its stored items intact. More details about crafting and obtaining Shulker Boxes can be found in the Shulker article.

What Can Players Do with a Blue Shulker Box?

A Blue Shulker Box is primarily used for organizing and transporting resources. Its bold color makes it a great choice for categorizing important materials such as enchanted gear, valuable ores, or aquatic-themed supplies. It pairs well with prismarine, dark oak, and quartz, making it a popular choice for ocean bases, futuristic builds, and medieval castles. Players can rename it using an anvil to enhance organization. When placed inside an Ender Chest, it significantly expands storage capacity, allowing players to access their inventory from anywhere.
