unsilkable
unsilkable changes which blocks silk touch can collect, so selected blocks drop their usual items and the pack adds its own silk-touchable set.
What it does
Silk touch normally lets a player collect some blocks in their original form. unsilkable removes that ability from selected blocks, and it also makes a set of other blocks silk touchable. The list covers chorus plant, budding amethyst, reinforced deepslate and dirt paths. From Minecraft 1.20.2 onward the mod extends the same rules to spawners and paintings, so the enchantment behaves differently on those blocks.
Server owners install unsilkable on the server, since the environment is server required with the client optional. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a data pack build is also offered. Game versions run 1.18.2 – 26.3, with 25 release versions in total. The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license and is not open source.
Key features
Silk touch exclusions
Selected blocks drop their usual items when collected with silk touch instead of being collected whole.
Silk touchable additions
Chorus plant, budding amethyst, reinforced deepslate and dirt paths can be collected with silk touch.
Spawner and painting rules
From 1.20.2 onward, spawners and paintings follow the mod's silk touch rules, so a broken spawner drops a spawn egg instead of the block.

also when you break a spawner the spawn egg will drop so you can put it in later.
