Ender Chest Always Drops ⛏️

The Ender Chest Always Drops datapack from Vanilla Tweaks ensures that ender chests drop themselves when broken, even without a Silk Touch pickaxe.

🧠 How It Works

In vanilla Minecraft:

  • Breaking an ender chest without Silk Touch destroys it completely, only dropping 8 obsidian (and losing the eye of ender).

With this datapack:

  • Breaking an ender chest with any tool (or even by hand) will cause it to drop itself as an item.

  • Silk Touch is no longer required.

  • This makes ender chests function more like regular containers — easier to move and reclaim.

🔍 Note: The contents of the chest are not affected — just like in vanilla, they remain bound to the player who placed them.


🎒 Why Use This?

  • Prevents accidental losses during travel or adventuring.

  • Makes ender chests more practical in survival and early-game.

  • Great for multiplayer servers, where not everyone may have Silk Touch.
