Hostility Level (Hostile)

A shulker is a hostile mob. The termÂ mobÂ is short forÂ mobileÂ and is used to refer to all living, moving creatures in the game such as chickens, endermen, and shulkers. Because a shulker is a hostile mob, it will attack you in Survival mode but not Creative mode.

Health Points

In Minecraft, a shulker has 15 hearts Shulker Mob - Wiki Guide 5 Â for health. This gives a shulker 30 health points (because 1 heart = 2 health points).

Armor Points

When a shulker closes its shell, it has 20 armor points ( Shulker Mob - Wiki Guide 6 Â x 10). It does not have this armor protection when the shell is open.

Where to Find Shulkers

In Minecraft, you can find shulkers in theÂ End dimensionÂ in theÂ End CityÂ (outer islands in the End). Here, you will find the shulker attached to a solid block. It will blend in with theÂ purpur blocksÂ around it when its shell is closed.

If you are having trouble finding a shulker, you canÂ summon a shulkerÂ using a cheat or you can use aÂ spawn egg.

Weapon

A shulker has shulker bullets as a weapon.

Attack Method

When a shulker attacks you, it will open its shell and shoot shulker bullets at you. These bullets will act like guided missiles and follow you. When you are struck by a bullet, it will cause damage and give you theÂ Levitation effect. This will cause you to float up until the effect wears off.

Drops

When you kill a shulker in Minecraft, it may sometimes drop aÂ shulker shell. If you don’t get a shulker shell after killing the first shulker, be patient, and try killing another.

Make sure you pick up any dropped items before they disappear. They are useful and should be kept in your inventory to be used later.
