Hey miners! Being frustrated with the issues of a full inventory? Well, there is something better than a normal chest in Minecraft. It’s the Shulker Box, if you are new to Minecraft then let me tell you that this thing is a game-changer non-supporting as you can fill it up with almost 27 different items and then pick it up and place it in your inventory without losing your items. Thisnonsupporting means that you are holding 27 different items in your inventory while just one slot is occupied in your inventory. How cool is that?
