Chill out, Shulker!

The Shulkers are way too powerful, even for an end-game mob. when they see you, they can shoot at you even if you're 60 blocks away, and they won't lose track of you. I could be fighting one Shulker on the ship, while two other Shulkers from a tower on the opposite side of the End City start shooting at me.

also, the shulkers sometimes fight each other WAY before you get to the End City, and in the process destroy the chests and all the loot despawns before you make it there.

The Shulkers should be toned down a lot, and be able to target you only if you are near them(~30-40 blocks away). 

(Edit: thanks to @ClayGoddessSari & @TheIronSniper1 for more accurate target radius)

    I think your solution is a bit extreme, but making it so shulker bullets don't destroy chests would help.

    I agree with clay goddess, only 10 blocks is way too extreme, I suggest maybe 30-40 would be better.

    (think of how long it takes you to travel 10 blocks(3 seconds by walking and 2 seconds while running))

    @ClayGoddessSari & @TheIronSniper1 I completely agree, I didn't check other mob's target radiuses so I didn't Have anithing to compare with. Will change it now

    I have never had them shoot that far.  I just snipe them with a bow or stand under a roof.

    Where did you get the idea of them destroying chests with their bullets? They can't do that.

    The projectiles are meant to target the enemy and follow them until they're destroyed. That's why they're so weak.

    It's suppose to be a challenge to get the shells because they are basically portable chests.
