2. Add Items to make a Shulker Box

In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3×3 crafting grid. To make a shulker box, place 2 shulker shells and 1 chest in the 3×3 crafting grid.

When making a shulker box, it is important that the shulker shells and chest are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 shulker shell in the middle box. In the second row, there should be 1 chest in the middle box. In the third row, there should be 1 shulker shell in the middle box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a shulker box.

Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the shulker boxes will appear in the box to the right.

3. Move the Shulker Box to Inventory

Once you have crafted shulker box, you need to move the new item to your inventory.

Congratulations, you have made a shulker box in Minecraft!
