What is a Light Blue Shulker Box?

A Light 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 amounts of items without needing to reorganize them after placement. The light blue variant features a bright, airy appearance, making it an excellent choice for sky-themed builds, ice structures, and futuristic storage designs.

Where Can a Light Blue Shulker Box Be Found?

Light Blue Shulker Boxes do not generate naturally and must be crafted by players. To craft one, players need a standard Shulker Box and a Light Blue Dye. A Shulker Box is created using two Shulker Shells and a Chest, with Shulker Shells obtained by defeating Shulkers in End Cities. Light Blue Dye can be crafted by combining Blue Dye from lapis lazuli with White Dye from bone meal or by using blue orchids found in swamp biomes. Once dyed, a Shulker Box permanently retains its light 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.
