**Paper Box** is a craftable item that can be used to create a [package](@envelope:package).

## Obtaining
Paper box can be crafted in a [crafting table](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Crafting_Table) from [paper](@minecraft:paper) and a [honeycomb](@minecraft:honeycomb).

It also generates as a block and in loot on a [collapsed mail hub](@envelope:collapsed_mail_hub) structure.\
Some loot chests can contain it as well.

Unpacking a [package](@envelope:package) has a 50% chance to return a paper box.

## Usage
### Packing
<div style={{ display: "flex", flexWrap: "wrap", width: "100%", alignItems: "flex-start" }}>
    <div style={{ flex: 1, marginTop: "-20px"}}>
        Using the item in hand will open an interface where items can be placed in the box slots and packed.

        Closing the interface without packing will return placed items back to player's inventory.
    </div>

    <center style={{ marginLeft: "1rem", marginRight: "0.2rem" }}>
        <Asset location="envelope:gui/paper_box" width={380} />
        <div style={{ marginTop: "6px"}}>*Paper Box interface*</div>
    </center>
</div>

### Placing
<div style={{ display: "flex", flexWrap: "wrap", width: "100%", alignItems: "flex-start" }}>
    <div style={{ flex: 1, marginTop: "-20px"}}>
        When used on the block while sneaking, paper box will be placed as a block.

{/* Links don't work if not at the line start, again */}
It's placed similar to [candles](@minecraft:candle) or [sea pickles](@minecraft:sea_pickle) -
clicking on the block will add another box to the pile.
        5th box will make a full block.

        Paper box block can be placed on two axes.

        Using the block with an empty hand while sneaking, will remove one box from the pile.
    </div>

    <center style={{ marginLeft: "1rem", marginRight: "0.2rem" }}>
        <Asset location="envelope:block/paper_box" width={380} style={{ borderRadius: "10px" }} />
        <div style={{ marginTop: "6px"}}>*Placed Paper Boxes*</div>
    </center>
</div>

### Fall Breaking
When an entity falls onto a paper box block from unsafe height (when it would take damage),
paper box will absorb the fall and break, dropping itself as an item.
