About

Description

Minable Things is a Minecraft quality-of-life mod focused on improving the way certain special blocks behave when mined.

In vanilla Minecraft, some blocks cannot be recovered normally once they are placed. This mod allows players to obtain those blocks directly after mining them, making building, decorating, and managing your world easier while keeping the original survival experience intact.

The goal of this mod is simple:

"If a block can be placed, it should be possible to recover it."

Minable Things does not add hundreds of new items or completely change Minecraft. Instead, it focuses on small but useful improvements that make survival gameplay more convenient.

Features Recoverable Cakes

In vanilla Minecraft, cakes are special blocks that cannot be picked up once they are placed.

With Minable Things, placed cakes can be broken and recovered as items.

This allows you to:

Move cakes to different locations. Store them in chests. Use them as decoration without losing them. Transport them between bases. Recoverable Ender Chests

In vanilla Minecraft, breaking an Ender Chest normally drops 8 blocks of obsidian. This means the Ender Chest is lost and must be crafted again.

With Minable Things, Ender Chests can be obtained directly as items when mined, without requiring the Silk Touch enchantment.

This makes it easier to:

Move your Ender Chest between bases. Relocate your storage system. Build with Ender Chests without having to craft new ones. Avoid losing your Ender Chest because you accidentally used the wrong pickaxe. Recoverable Glass

Normally, glass blocks are destroyed when broken unless you use a tool with the Silk Touch enchantment.

With Minable Things, glass can be recovered directly without needing Silk Touch.

This includes:

Normal Glass. White Stained Glass. Orange Stained Glass. Magenta Stained Glass. Light Blue Stained Glass. Yellow Stained Glass. Lime Stained Glass. Pink Stained Glass. Gray Stained Glass. Light Gray Stained Glass. Cyan Stained Glass. Purple Stained Glass. Blue Stained Glass. Brown Stained Glass. Green Stained Glass. Red Stained Glass. Black Stained Glass.

This makes it easier to:

Move windows and decorations. Change building designs. Save glass materials during construction. Mod Philosophy

Minable Things is designed to provide a small but useful improvement for Minecraft players, including survival players, builders, and collectors.

It keeps the original vanilla feeling while removing frustrating situations where a placed block is permanently lost.

Current Content (v1.0) Recoverable Cakes. Recoverable Ender Chests. Recoverable Glass. Recoverable Stained Glass (all colors). Future Plans

Possible future additions:

Recoverable Glass Panes. More decorative blocks. More special blocks that are normally lost when mined. Configuration options. Bug fixes and improvements. Summary

Minable Things is a Minecraft quality-of-life mod that allows players to recover special blocks when mining them. Version 1.0 adds recoverable cakes, Ender Chests, and all glass variants, making building and survival gameplay more convenient without changing the core Minecraft experience.
