Silk Touch Reinforced Deepslate Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need a specific pickaxe to mine reinforced deepslate?
No pickaxe type is required—any pickaxe will work as long as it has the silk touch enchantment applied to it. Without silk touch, the block will not drop as an item.
Can I get silk touch on a wooden or stone pickaxe?
Yes, you can apply silk touch to any pickaxe material through enchanting or by combining an enchanted book with a pickaxe at an anvil. However, wooden and stone pickaxes may break quickly when mining, so a more durable pickaxe is recommended.
What happens if I mine reinforced deepslate without silk touch?
The block will not drop as an item—it will simply break and disappear, just like it does in vanilla Minecraft.
Can I place reinforced deepslate blocks that I've collected?
Yes, once you have reinforced deepslate in item form, you can place it like any other block in your world.
Does this mod work with other mods that add pickaxes?
The mod works with any pickaxe that can receive the silk touch enchantment, including those from other mods, as long as they follow standard Minecraft enchanting mechanics.
Are there any blocks similar to reinforced deepslate I can also silk touch mine?
This mod specifically enables silk touch mining for reinforced deepslate blocks found in ancient cities. Other unbreakable blocks like bedrock still cannot be collected.
Do I need a certain tool level to mine reinforced deepslate?
No tool level requirement exists—the silk touch enchantment is what matters, not the pickaxe's material tier.
Can I use mending on a pickaxe with silk touch to keep it forever?
Yes, combining silk touch with mending allows you to repair your pickaxe indefinitely by collecting experience, making it ideal for large-scale mining projects.
Will reinforced deepslate blocks I place have the same properties as the originals?
Collected reinforced deepslate blocks retain their original properties—they remain highly resistant to damage and explosions when placed.
Does this mod affect performance or cause lag?
The mod is lightweight and only modifies how reinforced deepslate responds to silk touch enchantment, so it should not cause noticeable performance issues.
