Overview
Green 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 Green Shulker Box as a storage block. Green Shulker Box is made at a crafting table. Hardness 2 puts it in the middle of the pack for mining speed.
It drops as the same block you mined. Light passes through it, so it will not darken the space behind it. It offers almost no protection from explosions (2 blast resistance).
Every copy occupies a full inventory slot. It is crafted from White Shulker Box and Green Dye. Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.
About the green set
How long it takes to break
Green 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.
An iron tool takes 0.5 seconds and a diamond one 0.4, so the jump that actually matters for this block is the one to iron.
The drop does not depend on the tool — bare hands work as well as anything — so the table below is purely about speed.
Each Efficiency level adds level² + 1 to the tool's speed, so a level V tool clears this about 3.5 times faster than an unenchanted one.
| 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
Green Shulker Box resists blasts at 2, which is not enough to survive anything explosive nearby. Light passes through it, and it emits none of its own. Stack size is 1, meaning one per inventory slot. A pickaxe is the fastest choice here. A tool of the wrong class is no better than your fist — the speed bonus is tied to the block's own tool tag.
