About this Mod
Silky Hands
A minecraft mod that makes a specified player (or players) drop the exact block they break
keep in mind this is not the same as silk touch, it applies to all blocks (e.g. you can break obsidian with your fist and it will drop) and your hand has to be empty
Usage
You have to add a tag to a player
by default this tag is silkyhands
so you would do
/tag PlayerNameHere add silkyhands
this tag is configurable through the config file (located at config/silky-hands.json)
you can also set some blocks for it to ignore
by default beds and crops are ignored, because beds will duplicate and crops will not drop as much as they should
(if you find any other blocks that you think should be ignored by default open an issue!)
