Overview
Lime 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.
Lime Shulker Box counts as a storage block in Minecraft 1.21.4. Lime Shulker Box has a crafting recipe, so it is renewable as long as you can source its ingredients. At a hardness of 2 it takes a moment to break but never slows a build down.
Broken correctly, it drops itself. Because it is transparent it does not block light. A blast resistance of 2 means a single creeper will clear it away.
It does not stack — each one takes its own slot. You make it with White Shulker Box and Lime Dye. No recipe takes it as an ingredient.
About the lime set
How long it takes to break
At a hardness of 2, Lime Shulker Box takes 3 seconds to punch out and 0.35 seconds with a netherite-tier tool of the correct class.
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.
There is no tier requirement to worry about. Any tool, or none, returns the drop; the numbers below just say how fast.
Efficiency contributes its level squared plus one to tool speed, which makes Efficiency V roughly 3.5 times faster than the plain tool.
| 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
Blast resistance on Lime Shulker Box is 2, so any explosion nearby takes it out. It lets light pass and gives off no light. 1 fit in a slot, and it will not stack at all. The fastest tool for it is a pickaxe; any other kind of tool mines it no faster than a bare hand does, because the speed bonus only applies to the tool class the block is tagged for.
