16. The Shulker Box Wall Push Passage
What This Idea Means
When a Shulker Box opens, its top lid expands outward by half a block. If a player stands directly in front of a wall mounted Shulker Box in a 2-block tall space and opens it, the expanding lid collision box pushes the player backwards through a corner wall gap or down through a trapdoor.
Materials Needed
- 1 Shulker Box (any color)
- 1 Trapdoor
- Building blocks for corner framing
Step-by-Step Tutorial: How to Make It
- Wall Setup: Create a tight 1×1 floor space against a corner wall in your vault or storage room.
- Mount Shulker Box: Place a Shulker Box horizontally on the wall at torso level (1 block off the ground) facing toward the player standing area.
- Floor Hatch: Place a closed trapdoor on the floor directly beneath where the player stands in front of the shulker box. Unlatch the trapdoor.
- Operation: Stand on the trapdoor directly in front of the Shulker Box and right-click to open it. The expanding lid pushes your player model down through the floor trapdoor into a secret room below.
Tips and Variations
- Zero Redstone: This secret room door uses zero redstone components, making it undetectable to redstone bugs and x-ray scanners on servers.
