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

Thanks for checking out my pack! I hope you you enjoy it if you choose to download.

Feedback welcome :)

hey! would it be possible to add end portal frames to this pack? with like a 5% (iron, gold) - 10% (diamond) - 15% (netherite) drop rate? i think it would be fun to have a rlly slim chance to get a frame as decoration for your base. idk how possible this would be, but if you can make it work that would be awesome.

It makes the silk touch enchantment better.
Is my description really that bad?
Axes can silk touch vines now, good silk touch shovels might be able to save sus-blocks, pickaxes can silk touch new blocks; this includes spawners (up to 90% chance to drop with netherite pickaxe). The spawner needs to be powered by a spawn egg, just like in creative. There is now a low drop chance for certain mobs spawn eggs, but in order to activate the drop chance the player must deal the finishing blow to the mob. (For instance if lava in your iron golem farm is what kills the golems then the golem spawn egg will not have a chance to drop, where as if you killed ~500 golems with a sword you would get a spawn egg for a spawner.)

Hey, so apparently the Silk Touch Axe ability for vines negatively affects the ability to collect them with shears as well, I don't think this one's intentional but it's still a bit of a pain in the ass to navigate. The pack is great, I just wanna be able to use shears for breaking foliage quickly again
