How to Safely Harvest and Relocate Lucky Blocks

When you find a Lucky Block out in the wild at high altitudes, breaking it on the spot can be risky, as hostile mobs, traps, or loose items might fall off the mountain. Fortunately, you can pick the block up and move it to a safe area before opening it.

Moving Blocks with Silk Touch

Normally, mining a Lucky Block triggers its random outcome immediately. Furthermore, the block has a very fast breaking time of 0.2, meaning it is easy to break by accident if you click on it with a normal tool or your bare hand.

To pick up the block intact:

1. Enchant a tool with Silk Touch.

2. Carefully mine the Lucky Block using the Silk Touch tool.

3. Collect the dropped Lucky Block item and place it wherever you want to open it later.

Preparing an Opening Area

Because breaking the block without Silk Touch can spawn friendly creatures, hostile mobs, traps, or even whole structures, avoid breaking them near your main storage room or fragile builds. Carry your Silk Touch-harvested blocks to an open, flat clearing, store your unneeded valuables in a chest, and break the blocks there.
