Green Shulker Box
Green Shulker Box is a dyed portable container (the 27-slot block keeps its items inside when broken) for hauling cargo between bases.
Description
Green Shulker Box doubles as luggage: mine the placed block with any tool — a pickaxe works fastest — and the dropped item still carries all 27 slots of cargo to the next base. Hoppers can feed items into a placed Green Shulker Box and pull items back out. Piglins turn hostile toward any player who opens or mines a shulker box, so look around before opening the green lid.

Guide
How to Get a Green Shulker Box in Minecraft
-
1
Craft the base shulker box
Place two shulker shells in the top and bottom cells of the middle column on a crafting grid and one chest in the center cell to craft one shulker box.
-
2
Smelt the green dye
Smelt one cactus in a furnace to produce one green dye for the coloring step.
-
3
Dye the box green
Put the shulker box and the green dye into a crafting grid to craft one Green Shulker Box; items stored inside stay inside through the dye job.
-
4
Carry cargo as one item
Fill the placed Green Shulker Box, mine the block, and move all 27 slots of cargo to another base inside a single inventory item.
-
5
Wash the dye out when needed
Use the dyed box on a cauldron filled with water to remove the green color; the cauldron loses one water level.
A piston push breaks a placed Green Shulker Box into item form with the cargo intact, and pistons cannot pull the block at all.

Frequently asked questions
What happens if the Green Shulker Box item itself is destroyed?
The stored cargo spills out as loose items. Mining the placed block never causes that spill — the box drops with the cargo secured inside.
Can a Green Shulker Box store another shulker box?
No. One shulker box never fits inside another shulker box, in any color.
How does redstone read a Green Shulker Box?
Redstone comparators report how full the box stands even when the lid has no room to open, and observers detect every opening and closing.
When was the Green Shulker Box added to Minecraft?
Colored shulker boxes, the green variant included, appeared in Java Edition 1.11 and Bedrock Edition 1.1.0.
