How to get a Shulker Shell in Survival Mode

You can add a shulker shell to your inventory in Survival mode by killing a shulker. So let's get started!

1. Find a Shulker

You first need to find a shulker. You can find shulkers in the End dimension in the End City (outer islands in the End). Here, you will find the shulker attached to a solid block. It will blend in with the purpur blocks around it when its shell is closed.
