Shulker Spawn Egg is a creative-mode utility item in Minecraft that spawns a shulker the instant a player uses it on the face of a solid block. Shulker Spawn Egg cannot be crafted, mined, or obtained in survival — the egg appears only in the creative inventory or through the /give command in both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition. The shell shows a purple-and-violet pattern that mirrors the shulker's natural coloring, which separates Shulker Spawn Egg from the dozens of other spawn eggs in the creative menu.

Players use Shulker Spawn Egg to place shulkers outside their natural End City habitat, where these box-shaped mobs hide inside a protective shell and fire homing bullets that inflict the Levitation effect. A shulker spawned from Shulker Spawn Egg has a 50% chance to drop a shulker shell when killed, and two shells combined with a chest craft a shulker box for portable storage. In Bedrock Edition a shulker can be dyed into any of the 16 colors, making Shulker Spawn Egg a fast way to start a colorful shulker display or a custom mob-defense build.
