Overview
Magenta 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 Magenta Shulker Box as a storage block. Magenta 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 Magenta Dye. Nothing on the crafting grid is made from it.
About the magenta set
How long it takes to break
Magenta 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.
You are looking at 0.5 seconds on iron and 0.4 on diamond — the iron step is where the time actually falls.
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
Magenta Shulker Box has a blast resistance of 2, so any explosion nearby destroys it. It lets light through and emits no light of its own. Stack size is 1, meaning one per inventory slot. 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.
