Block Relieving
by EIG
Block Relieving makes natural blocks that lack adjacent support drop when mined with a Silk Touch tool, so vanilla blocks can be collected without enchanted tools.
What it does
Block Relieving is a NeoForge mod for game version 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 that changes how unsupported natural blocks behave when broken. A Silk Touch tool then yields the block itself. It is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and it is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Unsupported natural blocks drop
Natural blocks without adjacent support drop their item when mined, instead of breaking away empty.
Silk Touch collection
A Silk Touch tool collects the vanilla block directly, without requiring other enchantments.
Raw stone inspiration
The raw stone handling follows the approach of Terrafirmacraft and Vintage Story, as the author describes it.

What the author says
A simple mod that makes natural blocks without adjacent support drop as if mined with a Silk Touch tool, thus technically allowing you to obtain any vanilla block without using enchantments at all. Inpired by how Terrafirmacraft and Vintage Story handle mining raw stone.
