This data pack allows you to enchant a player's hands with silk touch. A player with silky hands is always considered as if they had silk touch, and everything they break is dropped as if they mined it with silk touch - including stone, ores, glass and basically everything. You still have to use the right tool to get the block - for example, if you mine a diamond ore using a stone pickaxe, a wooden pickaxe or your bare hands, you will still gain nothing.

How to use

To enchant a player with silk touch, run the following command (you need cheats on. You can also use @s as <player> to enchant yourself):
/tag <player> add silky_handsFor example, to enchant the player one_nose with silk touch:
/tag one_nose add silky_handsTo remove silk touch from a player:
/tag <player> remove silky_handsTo choose all players use @a, for example, to enchant all players with silk touch:
/tag @a add silky_handsYou can make a player only have silk touch if they use their bare hands or a silk touch tool. Such player would only have silk touch if they hold nothing. This does not allow one to mine with their bare hands blocks that generally cannot be mined without a tool (e.g. stone, ores).
/tag <player> add silky_hands_bare
