Overview
A shulker looks like a purpur block until it opens and fires a homing bullet that inflicts Levitation, floating you upward and then dropping you to your death, which is how most people die in an end city. While its shell is closed it has 20 armour points and shrugs off most damage; hit it as it opens. Its shells craft shulker boxes, the only portable storage in the game.
Shulker is a hostile mob in Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.4. You will need to deal 30 damage — 15 hearts — to kill one. Its attacks do 4 damage on Normal.
Killing one drops 5 experience.
