Shulker Boxes

-30000000 0 8882

-30000000 0 8883

Shulker boxes have a very special property, making them stand out even from other containers--the way a shulker box's contents are dropped is controlled by the loot table, rather than the game's code. With the correct loot table, a shulker box's contents can be funneled anywhere with the right loot command, without interfering with how shulker boxes drop in survival.

Being able to funnel a shulker box's contents is useful primarily because it is the only reliable way to dynamically modify the player's inventory, ender chest, and equipped armor. Additionally, it is a great way to drop large quantities of natural-looking items on the ground at once (with loot spawn).

Lantern replaces the minecraft:yellow_shulker_box's loot table, and provides two different yellow shulker boxes. The shulker box at -30000000 0 8882 is free for any use, while the shulker box at -3000000000 0 8883 must be used only for its first slot (Slot:0b / container.0).

To funnel the contents of one of the shulker boxes, you must use loot's mine subcommand with a provided tool of minecraft:air{drop_contents:1b}. For example, to give yourself the contents of the -30000000 0 8882 shulker box, use the following command:

loot give @s mine -30000000 0 8882 minecraft:air{drop_contents:1b}
