Can You Hold Infinite Shulker Boxes?

The answer to whether you can hold infinite shulker boxes is no, you cannot put shulker boxes inside of other shulker boxes, as this would be a bit overpowered and would almost provide unlimited inventory space, making many other items like chests and ender chests less useful. This limitation is in place to maintain the balance and challenge of the game, as shulker boxes already offer a significant amount of storage space, with each shulker box having 27 slots that can hold up to 64 stackable items.

Understanding Shulker Boxes and Inventory Space

To understand the storage capacity of shulker boxes, it’s essential to break down the inventory system. The player’s inventory consists of 36 slots, each of which can hold a shulker box. Given that each shulker box has 27 slots, the total number of items a player can carry in shulker boxes is substantial.

Calculating Storage Capacity

Calculating the maximum number of items a player can carry involves understanding that each of the 36 slots in the inventory can hold a shulker box, and each shulker box can hold 27 slots of items, with each slot capable of stacking up to 64 items. This means a player can carry a significant amount of items, but the question of infinite shulker boxes is clearly answered by the game’s design against nesting shulker boxes.
