Shulker Box

A shulker box is a block that can store and transport items.

Breaking
Shulker Boxes can be mined with any tool or by hand, but using a pickaxe is the quickest method.

Creative
When instantly mined in creative mode, shulker boxes will drop as an item if there are items stored within.

Usage
Unlike other storage units, such as chests, shulker boxes keep their items when broken, which can be retrieved when placed again. Shulker boxes will drop as an item if pushed by pistons, and can be placed using dispensers. When holding a shulker box with items inside, the items will be listed as properties.

Shulker boxes can be stored in other containers, though they cannot be stored in other shulker boxes.

A shulker box has 27 inventory slots, the same number as a chest.

By default, the GUI of a shulker box is labeled "Shulker Box", but this name can be customized by naming it in an anvil before placing it, or by changing the  tag using the  command.

When placed on a wall or ceiling, Shulker Boxes will face and open sideways/upside-down.

Shulker Boxes cannot be opened if a solid opaque block is on their top surface, similar to a chest. For example, if a Shulker Box is facing upside-down and a solid opaque block is below it, the Shulker Box cannot be opened until the block is removed.

Block entity
A shulker box has a block entity associated with it that identifies its contents. The block's block entity ID is.
