Configurable Silk Touch

Configurable Silk Touch

Configurable Silk Touch is a lightweight NeoForge 1.21.1 mod that lets you decide which blocks should become obtainable with Silk Touch.

By default, the mod makes these blocks Silk Touch obtainable:

• minecraft:spawner
• minecraft:budding_amethyst

How It Works

The mod checks block drops on the server. When a configured block is broken with a tool that has Silk Touch, the block drops itself as an item.

Normal block loot is left alone when:

• The block is not in the config
• The tool does not have Silk Touch
• The block already drops itself normally
• The block has no item form

JSON Configuration

On first launch, the mod creates:

config/configurable_silk_touch.json

Default config:

[ "minecraft:spawner", "minecraft:budding_amethyst" ]

Add any block id using the standard namespace:id format.

Example

[ "minecraft:spawner", "minecraft:budding_amethyst", "minecraft:reinforced_deepslate" ]

Features

• Makes configured blocks drop themselves with Silk Touch
• Uses a simple JSON array of block ids
• Includes spawners and budding amethyst by default
• Supports vanilla and modded block ids
• Reloads the JSON file when it changes
• Keeps regular non-Silk Touch loot behavior unchanged

Notes

This mod is intended for server owners, modpack makers, and players who want precise control over which blocks can be collected with Silk Touch without adding new items, commands, or gameplay systems.
