No Fortune Chest
by TheVoidBlock
No Fortune Chest warns players before they break an Ender Chest with the wrong tool, so a diamond or netherite pickaxe without Silk Touch does not lose the chest by accident.
What it does
Before a player starts mining an Ender Chest with a diamond or netherite pickaxe that lacks Silk Touch, the mod shows a title warning and an action bar message. A separate warning appears when the player looks at an Ender Chest made of obsidian while holding such a tool. The mod is client-side only, so servers do not need it, and players install it alone. It is published for Fabric, for 18 release versions 1.20.4 – 26.3, and requires Cloth Config API and Fabric API. Mod Menu is optional and gives access to the text color settings. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
