How It Works
Material Assignment Methods
Recipe Method:
- Place a shulker box in the center of a crafting table
- Surround it with 4 obsidian blocks in the corners
- Place the desired material item in the remaining 4 slots
- This creates a shulker box that will automatically pick up that material
Enchantment Method:
- First, obtain the "Material Collector" enchantment through these methods:
- Trading: Librarian villagers may offer enchanted books with this enchantment
- Loot: Found in various loot chests throughout the world
- Apply the enchantment to a shulker box using an anvil
- Then use the anvil to combine the enchanted shulker with the desired material item
- This creates a shulker box that will automatically pick up that material
