Overview
Orange 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.
Orange Shulker Box counts as a storage block in Minecraft 1.21.4. Orange 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 Orange Dye. No recipe takes it as an ingredient.
About the orange set
How long it takes to break
At a hardness of 2, Orange Shulker Box takes 3 seconds to punch out and 0.35 seconds with a netherite-tier tool of the correct class.
Iron manages 0.5 seconds and diamond 0.4, which makes iron the tier that changes how this block feels.
No particular tool tier is required: any tool, or none at all, still yields the drop, so the table below is about speed rather than about whether you get anything.
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 Orange Shulker Box is 2, so any explosion nearby takes it out. It lets light pass and gives off no light. 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.
