SilkTouch Patcher
by Blue-Beaker
SilkTouch Patcher is a Forge server-side mod that turns off silk touch drops for blocks chosen in its config, working around cases where the drop is faulty.
What it does
Some blocks in Minecraft 1.12.2 give the wrong drop when mined with silk touch. SilkTouch Patcher lets a server owner list those blocks so that silk touch no longer applies to them, and they drop as they would without the enchantment. The change happens on the server, so players join without installing anything.
Blocks are listed by modid and blockid, and a listed block can be narrowed to particular blockstates. Several blockstates for one block are separated with colons, so a single entry can cover more than one variant. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker published for anyone to read or report problems on.
Installation needs only Forge for Minecraft 1.12.2. Files exist for that version alone, with 1.0 for 1.12.2 as the latest build, released on 2025-08-30.
Key features
Silk touch exclusions
Chosen blocks ignore silk touch and drop the way they do without the enchantment, avoiding faulty drops.
Block selection by ID
Blocks are added by modid and blockid, so any block from any mod can be targeted in the config.
Blockstate matching
An entry can be limited to specific blockstates, so only the matching variants of a block are affected.
Multiple blockstates
Several blockstates for one entry are separated with colons, letting one line cover multiple variants of a block.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Fixing a faulty silk touch drop
A server owner who finds a block that drops the wrong item under silk touch lists that block so it drops normally.
Targeting specific variants
A block with several states can be limited to the ones that drop incorrectly, leaving the rest unchanged.
Who it’s for: Server owners running Forge 1.12.2 who have found blocks whose silk touch drops are wrong and want a server-side fix without installing anything on players' clients.
