How to get a Shulker Shell in Survival Mode
You can add a shulker shell to your inventory in Survival mode by killing a shulker. So let’s get started!
1. Find a Shulker
You first need to find a shulker. You can find shulkers in the End dimension in the End City (outer islands in the End). Here, you will find the shulker attached to a solid block. It will blend in with the purpur blocks around it when its shell is closed.
2. Attack and Kill the Shulker
A shulker is a type of mob that is only found in the End dimension in the End City (outer islands in the End). Here, you will find the shulker attached to a solid block. It will blend in with the purpur blocks around it when its shell is closed.
Once you find a shulker, you need to attack it. When you attack the shulker, it will turn pink as it takes damage.
Continue to attack the shulker. Once you have killed the shulker, it will sometimes drop a shulker shell.
3. Pick up the Shulker Shell
Make sure you pick up the shulker shell before it disappears.
A shulker shell is a useful item and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
