Also works with any other block.

🧊 Silk Touch

Collect blocks in their original form, just like the vanilla Silk Touch enchantment.

Note that you can only toggle this version of silk touch, the vanilla enchantment will be always enabled and is also not compatible on a pickaxe that already has silk toggle installed. You also can't put fortune on a silk toggle pickaxe.
