Shulkers are a rare mob in the world of Minecraft.
Spawning[]
Item[]
If natural spawning is disabled, Shulkers can only be spawned by players using their fused item, which can be crafted with an Egg, a Popped Chorus Fruit, and two Shulker Shells. It takes a total of 40 seconds for the fusion part to be fused, at the cost of 200 mana. After which, you'll have your spawn item to spawn a Shulker. Shulker Fusions can also be found as loot inside of End Cities.
Natural[]
If natural spawning is enabled, wild Shulkers can only be found inside of End Cities.
Behavior[]
Shulkers attack by opening their shells up and firing projectiles at their opponents, which float around them, and if the Shulker gets hit too many times, it will teleport away from the opponent. Although the projectiles are weak, they make up for the lack of damage by inflicting the opponent with Levitation, and unlike a normal Shulker, which gives the opponent Levitation for ten seconds, an Engender Shulker will give the opponent Levitation for a whopping three minutes and 20 seconds, which is guaranteed to kill any mob from fall damage, making Shulkers a great unit for any team, although they have a harder time with archer mobs like the Skeleton, as their projectiles can be destroyed by their arrows.
If the player right clicks on a Shulker with any colored Dye in their hand, the Shulker will be dyed that color and will drop the previous Dye used on them. If an Engender Shulker is made into a Hero Shulker via use of The Star of Valor, it will gain a new ability where the Shulker will occasionally shoot out a four-way projectile attack, that causes each projectile to split apart, leading to a massive group of projectiles that is tricky to dodge.
