Minecraft Shulker Box Calculator

A Minecraft shulker box calculator multiplies 27 slots by a stack size of 64, 16, or 1. One box holds 1,728 of a 64-stack item. The slot math is vanilla container size and does not change with combat or world-generation patches.

Shulker box capacity is 27 slots times stack size

A shulker box is a 27-slot chest that keeps its contents when broken. Vanilla Minecraft does not allow a shulker box inside another shulker box. Storage planning is slots × stack size × number of boxes. Stack 64, 16, and 1 cover almost every survival item.

Chests of boxes

A double chest holds 54 shulker boxes. At 64-stack items that is 93,312 items. An ender chest holds 27 boxes (46,656 items). A player inventory of 36 slots plus an offhand box is 63,936 items at stack 64. Bundles and datapack stack components can differ and are not counted here.

Worked examples

  • 1,000 ender pearls

    Pearls stack to 16, so one box holds 432. 1,000 pearls need three boxes (1,296 capacity) with 296 empty pearl slots left over.

Limits of this page

  • Shulker nesting is not vanilla and is not modeled.
  • Bundle occupancy and component-modified stacks are omitted.
