Minable Things

Stock Minecraft offers no way to get some placed blocks back: a cake breaks without returning the cake, and breaking an Ender Chest yields eight obsidian instead, so the chest has to be crafted anew. Minable Things changes these blocks so that mining them returns the block itself. The mod focuses on small improvements to survival gameplay rather than adding large amounts of new content.

Glass blocks and glass panes, Ice, Packed Ice and Blue Ice, and Sea Lanterns all normally need Silk Touch or drop nothing useful. With this mod, the blocks listed here drop themselves when mined without an enchanted tool. Players can then move cakes and Ender Chests between bases, relocate storage systems and build with decorations without losing them. The mod aims to ease construction, decoration and world management while leaving survival play as it was.

The mod is published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.21.11, and it runs on the server side alone, so players join without installing it. Minable Things is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, a public-domain dedication, and is not open source. Files were first published on 2026-07-28 and last updated on 2026-08-23, with the latest Fabric file being 2.0.0 for 1.21.11.
