The Purple Shulker Box is a block in Minecraft. It is made by combining a shulker box of any color with purple dye, and it can be placed facing different directions.

When broken, it drops itself, so players can pick it up and carry it elsewhere. Dyeing an existing shulker box turns it into this purple version.
