Even though shulkers are not from the Nether realm, they are immune to all forms of fire damage. Players cannot hurt shulkers with arrows from Flame-enchanted bows or swords with Fire Aspect enchantment.

Shulkers also take no damage from lava. When lava is placed on top of them, they will teleport to a different location.

Shulkers are the only mob incapable of moving in Minecraft. Every mob in Minecraft can move on its own will or its owner, but not the shulker. This behaviour of the shulker also contradicts the meaning of the word "mob," i.e. mobile entity.

Shulkers always stay attached to a block. When attacked by a player, shulkers may teleport away from them. Players can transport shulkers using minecarts and boats.

Shulkers have only one way to attack players in Minecraft. They shoot special projectiles called shulker bullets that follow the player. If a player gets hit by a shulker bullet, they will get levitation status and float for 10 seconds.

Players can easily evade this dangerous and annoying attack by hitting it with any item. Players can use arrows to shoot down the bullet from a safe time.

2) Dyeing shulker

Dyeing shulker boxes is a common feature and are usually used by players for colour coding shulker boxes. Some players may not know that shulkers can also be dyed in Minecraft.

In Minecraft Bedrock Edition, players can use dye on a shulker box to change its colour. This feature is not available in Java Edition, but players can summon a dyed shulker using console commands.

1) Shulkers are renewable

Since their launch, shulkers have been a rare resource in Minecraft. But the Caves and Cliffs Part 1 update finally added a way to make shulkers renewable.

When a shulker bullet hits another shulker, there is a certain chance for that shulker to spawn a new shulker. However, players will have to meet a lot of conditions before farming shulkers.
