Where Can a Light Gray Shulker Box Be Found?

Light Gray Shulker Boxes do not generate naturally and must be crafted by players. To craft one, players need a standard Shulker Box and a Light Gray Dye. A Shulker Box is made using two Shulker Shells and a Chest, with Shulker Shells obtained by defeating Shulkers in End Cities. Light Gray Dye can be crafted by combining White Dye with Black or Gray Dye, or it can be obtained from Oxeye Daisies or Azure Bluets. Once dyed, a Shulker Box permanently retains its 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.

Players can rename it with an anvil to categorize specific supplies. When placed inside an Ender Chest, it greatly expands portable storage capacity, allowing players to carry large amounts of materials wherever they go.
