One of the most desirable items in Minecraft would have to be the shulker box. While defeating the dragon only really rewards a boat load of experience, the true reward is found in end cities. The shulker enemies found in end cities will drop shulker shells which can be used to make shulker boxes. These shulker boxes will hold twenty-seven inventory slots and will keep its inventory when it is broken. This means you can hold many more stacks of items with you as you travel across the land.

You can use any column to make the shulker box, but it will have to maintain this arrangement.
Shulker boxes do not naturally generate in Minecraft and you will have to venture out into end cities to obtain them. You will need to gather shulker shells from shulker enemies to make a shulker box.
Head inside an end city and ensure you have a sword with the Looting enchantment on it. Unlike many mobs shulkers will only spawn once and will not respawn in the same end city after you defeat them all. To find more shulkers you will have to find more end cities and killing the shulkers with the Looting enchantment will ensure you have all the shells you need for your boxes.
Once you have made it inside,keep an eye out for shulkers.
Watch out for the projectiles that shulkers will shoot at you. These projectiles do not do much damage on their own, but the levitating effect they inflict on you can cause you to take a lethal amount of fall damage. Stay above a ledge or under a ceiling to prevent floating too high. When the shulker’s shell is closed it takes much less damage, wait for it to open and attack it with your Looting sword to get some shulker shells to drop.
