Preserve Ancient Debris Blocks with Silk Touch

Why Use Silk Touch

If you want to collect Ancient Debris blocks themselves rather than Netherite Scraps, use a pickaxe enchanted with Silk Touch. This enchantment overrides the mod's default behavior and preserves the block in its original form.

How to Collect Blocks

1. Enchant a Diamond or Netherite pickaxe with Silk Touch

2. Mine Ancient Debris normally

3. The block will drop as-is instead of converting to scraps

4. Collect and transport the blocks

When to Use This

Silk Touch is useful if you want to:

  • Store Ancient Debris for later processing
  • Build with the blocks decoratively
  • Transport large quantities without losing material
  • Process blocks in a different location

Keep in mind that Silk Touch and Fortune are mutually exclusive on a single tool, so choose based on your immediate needs. If you need both behaviors, maintain separate pickaxes for different mining sessions.
