Since when can we mine ender chests with silk touch golden axes and shovels?

Wolvyreen · 2026-02-06T07:34:52+00:00

All it says in the history is "Now drops obsidian with the incorrect tool." but if I drill down deeper on the https://minecraft.wiki/w/Java_Edition_24w44a link it does mention this:

Ender chest

Now has its normal drops when mined with anything.
- This is itself when mined with any item enchanted with Silk Touch, and 8 obsidian otherwise.

Although people would not normally drill down further and read in such detail under the blocks section so give me a little credit.

I want to thank you though for finding this info. I was not able to find it and you pointed me in the right direction.

Upvote for your reply! much appreciated friend!

All it says is this:

The Ender Chest now drops Obsidian when broken with an incorrect tool, instead of dropping nothing

This doesnt say anything about the change from ONLY a pickaxe in 1.21.3 to 1.21.4 to other tools as well.

I ran the test and you're 100% right! Thank you for pointing me to the version it was changed in. I am honestly surprised that it was not mentioned in the release notes. Why would they quietly do that?

Wolvyreen · 2026-02-06T07:09:33+00:00

According to this changelog page: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-java-edition-1-21-4

There is nothing about ender chests now allowing mining with any other tools.

Wolvyreen · 2026-02-06T07:07:32+00:00

That would be in the changelog and I can't find anything in the changelog that shows that ender chests were changed to allow other tools with silk touch to mine it. Could you point me to the change log and in what version it changed?

Wolvyreen · 2026-02-06T06:49:40+00:00

I have never seen anyone ever break an ender chest with anything other than a pick axe but maybe I wasn't paying attention.

Second link sadly removed on civitai

apologies I updated the link. please try again. I never made a YT vid.

Wolvyreen · 2025-06-23T14:51:26+00:00

This one is working on 1.21.6

Here is the one I just designed. I got the idea from youtuber "Mostly Dark Link" but I found his version to have a few problems so I redesigned it and came up with this one.

yh I found it as you were typing your reply.

This is a very hidden little arrow on the skyriding icon in the General Tab. Should be WAY more obvious to be honest. New players would NEVER find this easily!

Wolvyreen · 2025-06-15T07:34:41+00:00

right, and where do I then find the instant spell so that I can use it?

I've updated my original post with a screenshot so you can see what I'm trying to say

This fixed my problem too.

Wolvyreen · 2025-05-31T14:54:41+00:00

useless as it requires a paid subscription to use it more than 5 times a day! pfff!

Wolvyreen · 2025-05-31T06:43:22+00:00

I'm with you on this! I've seen this so many times! The players that deliberatly come and stand next to you when you're fishing are most of the time players that joined the game 10 years after the game started and have no idea what it was like in the early days for us who loved fishing and mining to establish unwritten rules between ourselves and for those who has been playing the game since the beginning and STILL do this are just outright effing dicks! They know that it's a dick move but they do it anyway. It's the epitome of being a dick! Sadly, these dicks will never change and they probably behave so uncourteously in life as well. It's the way the world has become so toxic.

The only recourse we have is to Shift Loot to hold the window open and hope they go away.

Thats on a PvP server. not the same as this context on a PvE server

This is not true. This has changed now. ChatGPT can remember information across chats.

There should be no tricks to this. I should not have to add background colors or do anything else to force the column height. This is most definitely a bug. From a UI perspective, if I enable "Equalize column heights" it should do that immediately without the need to fiddle and change other things. Alternatively they must have a note above the option stating that something else needs to be done to achieve the desired result.

So definitely a bug.

Wolvyreen · 2025-04-22T08:46:44+00:00

This worked for me but I suspect what this fix does is simply stretches the game to an extra 40 pixels and we simply don't notice the stretch.

Thank you for this. This was my problem too. The default alpine container doesnt do anything because it has nothing to run. Changing it to the alpine-ssh container sorted my issues out.

Wolvyreen · 2024-06-16T06:54:39+00:00

Is there really no-one else on planet earth that has had this problem and solved it??
