Required Materials to make Shulker Box
In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to craft a shulker box:
1 Chest
2 Shulker Shells How to craft a Shulker Box in Survival Mode
1. Open the Crafting Menu
First, open your crafting table so that you have the 3x3 crafting grid that looks like this:

2. Add Items to make a Shulker Box
In the crafting menu, you should see a crafting area that is made up of a 3x3 crafting grid. To make a shulker box, place 2 shulker shells and 1 chest in the 3x3 crafting grid.
When making a shulker box, it is important that the shulker shells and chest are placed in the exact pattern as the image below. In the first row, there should be 1 shulker shell in the middle box. In the second row, there should be 1 chest in the middle box. In the third row, there should be 1 shulker shell in the middle box. This is the Minecraft crafting recipe for a shulker box.

Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the shulker boxes will appear in the box to the right.

3. Move the Shulker Box to Inventory
Once you have crafted shulker box, you need to move the new item to your inventory.
