Okay, so.......don't download it. No one is forcing you to...... But why complain about it here? That doesn't help anyone.

i agree with you. Minecraft=Challenge. but since silk touch is a end-game type thing. I just fav the mod. So end game is easier and has a use for silk touch

Listen: if people want to take advantage of various exploits and flaws in a game or a mod, then so be it. This is minecraft. Its a sandbox game. If people want to have as many diamonds as the please, then they can go right ahead. If they think that they won't like this mod, then they just have to not get the mod. All this mod is giving is a simple way for people to change back their items to ore if they don't feel like using NEI or changing to creative mode, its completely their choice whether they want to or not.
This mod cannot defeat the purpose of Minecraft, a game that in its very nature is very manipulable and modable. Telling someone that a mod defeats the purpose of Minecraft is simply ignorant. If you're a hardcore-vanilla minecraft player than that's your choice, however people get mods for the simple reasons of cheating, changing the game entirely, and making it easier to build. Minecraft would be nothing without mods, just remember that.

it's not hard buts it's pretty damn time consuming when you have 3 stacks of iron ores :|
