This is a simple light weight data pack that adds some functionality to the silk touch enchantment while maintaining (some) balance.

-All axes with silk touch can now collect vines.
-Silk touch netherite pickaxes can now collect reinforced deepslate blocks.
-Silk touch diamond and netherite shovels can collect suspicious sand and suspicious gravel for a 95% drop chance.
Any pickaxe with silk touch has a 50% chance to collect infested blocks instead of the base block.

-Chance of mining budding amethyst with a silktouch pickaxe:
Iron, Gold - 50%
Diamond - 60%
Netherite - 70%

Any silk touch pickaxe that mines a budding amethyst block, but doesn't receive the block will receive 4 amethyst shards for their effort instead.

-Chance of mining a spawner with a silktouch pickaxe:
Iron - 75%
Gold - 80%
Diamond - 85%
Netherite - 90%

If a spawner is mined but not dropped it then provides xp at that point, but not beforehand.

-Once a spawner is obtained it can be placed, but needs to be activated with a spawn egg
(Drops are conditional, and require the player to land the finishing blow)

~1/128 egg drop chance:
  -Blaze
  -Cave spider
  -Magma cube
  -Skeleton
  -Slime
  -Spider
  -Witch
  -Zombie


~1/256 egg drop chance:
  -Creeper
  -Enderman
  -Iron Golem
  -Warden
  -Wither Skeleton

This list may be periodically updated.

For a more vanilla experience consider: Softer Silk Touch - Vanilla
(The only newly obtainable spawner (egg) in the vanilla version is the Creeper)

Test command:
execute run function softer_silk_touch:cheat
