One-Step Dyed Shulker Boxes Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I craft a dyed shulker box with this mod?
Place one chest, two shulker shells, and one dye of your choice in the crafting grid according to the recipe shown in the mod wiki. This creates a colored shulker box in a single step, unlike vanilla where you'd need to craft the box first and then dye it separately.
What dyes can I use to color shulker boxes?
You can use any standard Minecraft dye color in the recipe. The dye you choose determines the final color of your shulker box, so pick the color that matches your storage needs or building aesthetic.
Do I still need to dye shulker boxes the old way?
No, this mod replaces the vanilla two-step process entirely. You can now craft colored shulker boxes directly in one recipe, making the old method unnecessary.
Can I use this mod with other mods that add shulker boxes?
Compatibility depends on how those mods are designed. If they modify the shulker box crafting system directly, conflicts may occur—check the mod's documentation or test in your world to be sure.
What if I want a regular undyed shulker box?
You can still craft a regular shulker box using the vanilla recipe (two shulker shells and one chest without dye), or craft one of the dyed variants and use it as-is since the mod only adds the one-step dyed recipe.
Does this mod affect the appearance or function of shulker boxes?
No, the colored shulker boxes work exactly like vanilla ones—they store items and teleport with you when you close them. The mod only changes how you craft them, not how they behave.
Is there a performance impact from using this mod?
This mod is lightweight and only adds a single crafting recipe, so it should have no noticeable performance impact on your game.
Can I craft multiple colored shulker boxes at once?
You craft them one at a time using the standard crafting grid, but since the process is now one step instead of two, you can make multiple boxes much faster than in vanilla.
What happens if I don't have all the ingredients for the recipe?
The recipe won't appear in the crafting grid until you have one chest, two shulker shells, and a dye available, just like any other Minecraft recipe.
Does this mod work on servers?
Yes, the mod can be installed on both single-player and multiplayer servers, though all players on a server should have it installed to see the same crafting recipes.
