Overview
Cyan Shulker Box is one of the 17 variants of Shulker Box: same recipe, same hardness, same drops — only the look differs. The full write-up for the set is on the Shulker Box page.
Minecraft classifies Cyan Shulker Box as a storage block. A crafting table turns its ingredients into Cyan Shulker Box. Its hardness of 2 makes it a normal, unhurried block to mine.
Mining it returns the block itself, so it is safe to relocate. It is transparent, which matters when you are managing light levels. With a blast resistance of only 2 it will not survive an explosion.
It is unstackable. The recipe calls for White Shulker Box and Cyan Dye. It is not used in any crafting recipe.
About the cyan set
How long it takes to break
Cyan Shulker Box has a hardness of 2. By hand that is 3 seconds per block; with the correct tool at netherite tier it is 0.35 seconds.
Iron takes 0.5 seconds against diamond's 0.4, so the upgrade worth making for this block is the one to iron.
There is no tier requirement to worry about. Any tool, or none, returns the drop; the numbers below just say how fast.
Efficiency adds its level squared plus one to the tool speed, so Efficiency V is about 3.5 times faster than the same tool unenchanted.
| Tool | No enchantment | Efficiency III | Efficiency V |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand | 3 s | 3 s | 3 s |
| Wooden | 1.5 s | 0.25 s | 0.15 s |
| Stone | 0.75 s | 0.25 s | 0.1 s |
| Iron | 0.5 s | 0.2 s | 0.1 s |
| Diamond | 0.4 s | 0.2 s | 0.1 s |
| Netherite | 0.35 s | 0.2 s | 0.1 s |
| Golden | 0.25 s | 0.15 s | 0.1 s |
Properties
With 2 blast resistance Cyan Shulker Box goes down to any nearby explosion. It is transparent to light and produces no light. A single slot takes 1 — no stacking at all, one slot each. The block is tagged for pickaxes, and only that class gets the speed bonus; everything else mines at bare-hand rate.
