Opening/breaking a shulker box near piglins will cause them to attack you

Confirmed for 1.16-rc1. Also happens in other parts of the nether, not just near bastion remnants.

This is more than likely intended, see MC-172239 and MC-174836.

I'm not an expert, but when you take pigling's loot from a bastion, they get mad at you. Does the same apply with shulker boxes?

seems unintended to me, as piglins don't use shulker boxes themselves

Yep, can confirm. Lost all my stuff once.

Lost all my stuff multiple times because this was not told by ANYONE before the update came out and I had no idea why I even died. This is beyond ridiculous.

I reported this same thing and they said it was intended. This was created over 2 weeks ago and is still open. Hmmmm
