Silk Touch II

Silk Touch should be able to be upgraded from I to II. Silk Touch II will allow you pick up monster spawners, the dragon egg, and silverfish stone without spawning a silverfish. The silverfish stone will drop as itself and not the variant of stone it's disguised as. You can only get it by combining 2 books/tools with Silk Touch I.

    I think that picking up Monster Spawners would be too overpowered, but I agree with everything else.

    Great idea! I think Silk touch 2 should also be added to swords as a easier way to gain mob heads.

    When Amethyst was released to Minecraft, they purposely made it impossible to get budding amethyst. The reason they did this is, so people have to travel around places, instead of having everything at a base. Being able to move spawners and budding amethyst would be a little too powerful. However there are some things that this could go well with, so excluding the budding amethyst at the least, silk touch II should be added.

    I think another good suggestion for this would be mining frost blocks from frost walker. You could use them to make things like frosted leaves (just another white block varient.) It could even have a lower drop rate to not make it OP, maybe even an ice varient that can't be placed in the nether, needs 3x3 to craft regular ice and if it melts you won't get water. Just a few more ideas that could make silk touch two work nicely.

    Could work but I think there should like be a 25% chance for a spawner to drop since it could be too OP to be able to get spawners just like that

    It would be beneficial to improve the Silk Touch enchantment. The idea proposed is reasonable and well thought out. I fully support it. I am not certain as to why Silk Touch cannot currently obtain mob spawners. It may be considered too powerful, but reducing the chances of obtaining the enchantment could balance this out.

    Yes I think you are right. Maybe not monster spawners but infested cobblestone (to play tricks on friends), maybe certain blocks that only drop xp, but yes it would make a great addition. Maybe only a chance to drop the spawner, but no mob. Maybe in the loot chests a single spawn egg could have something like a 0.01% chance to spawn. It would be great for meat farms or such.

    Like another use or said, I can't imagine how this would be OP. You'd still need to actually seek the spawners out. Another user said it's like this to "encourage exploration," but you need to explore to find spawners in the first place. Being able to take one with you would just remove hassle. No idea why they didn't offer something like this when they introduced frog lights. There isn't a single magma cube spawner near my base for hundreds of blocks. Please make this less of a hassle, Mojang.

    There is some good in this, but I would add that mob spawners are unabtainable for a reason.

    Support. Silk touch, with every update becomes increasingly more redundant as more exceptions to the norm are made, so now there are more exceptions than working cases.

    W idea, would love to see something similar implemented. Spawners are (mostly) unused in survival, so it'd be nice if/when finding them while out exploring/mining, you'd be able to bring them back to the base and make them into a farm or build.
