Pink Shulker Box
Pink Shulker Box is a dyeable storage block that keeps its 27 cargo slots inside when mined, so a full inventory travels as one item.
Description
One pink dye turns a plain shulker box pink on the crafting grid, and the dyeing keeps every stored item inside; the plain shulker box itself is crafted from two shulker shells with one chest between them. A hopper loads and unloads Pink Shulker Box automatically; the only containers that refuse a shulker box are other shulker boxes and bundles. Washing Pink Shulker Box in a water-filled cauldron strips the pink dye and costs the cauldron one layer of water. A redstone comparator reads how full Pink Shulker Box is, and an observer detects each opening and closing.

Guide
How to craft and use a Pink Shulker Box in Minecraft
-
1
Craft a plain shulker box
Place two shulker shells in the middle column of a crafting grid with one chest between them to craft a plain shulker box.
-
2
Dye the box pink
Combine the plain shulker box with one pink dye anywhere on the crafting grid; Pink Shulker Box keeps any items stored inside through the dyeing.
-
3
Load the 27 slots
Place Pink Shulker Box on the ground, open the lid, and fill the 27 inventory slots, or let a hopper feed items in automatically.
-
4
Carry the cargo as one item
Mine Pink Shulker Box with a pickaxe — any tool works, a pickaxe is fastest — and every stored item stays inside the single dropped box.
-
5
Wash the dye off
Use Pink Shulker Box on a cauldron filled with water to remove the pink color; the cauldron loses one water layer.
Pink Shulker Box never stacks, so plan one free inventory slot for every box on a long haul, and remember that a box destroyed in item form spills its contents.
How to craft this block
Frequently asked questions
How much room does a Pink Shulker Box need to open?
Pink Shulker Box needs a clear half-block of space in the direction the lid faces, so an upside-down slab or an upper trapdoor above still allows opening. The open box expands its hitbox to 1.5 blocks and pushes entities aside.
What happens when a Pink Shulker Box item is destroyed?
Destroying the Pink Shulker Box item drops the stored contents as loose items. A placed Pink Shulker Box survives explosions and always drops itself instead.
Does Pink Shulker Box work with redstone?
A redstone comparator reads the fill level of Pink Shulker Box even when the lid cannot open, and an observer detects every opening and closing. Pink Shulker Box also conducts redstone while closed and stops conducting while open, and the switch does not update neighboring blocks — the basis for block update detectors in Java Edition.
Which way does a placed Pink Shulker Box face?
Pink Shulker Box faces the player who places it: the lid points up on a floor, sideways on a wall, and down from a ceiling. A dispenser can also place Pink Shulker Box.
In which versions was Pink Shulker Box added?
Pink Shulker Box joined Java Edition in 1.11 and Bedrock in 1.1.0, together with all 16 dyed shulker box colors. Bedrock later lowered the hardness and blast resistance of shulker boxes from 2.5 to 2 in 1.20.30.
