Silk touch doesn't work on webs
Using a silk touch tool on webs doesn't drop the web as an item.
Duplicate of MC-1767 only block & items added in 1.16+ are accepted a valid. Mojang will look into the creative inventory in the future.
I could be mistaken, but it seems that, that is intended. I seem to remember in the update notes that silk touch would specifically not work on spider webs.
All I could find is:
12w17a - Silk touch can now retrieve Ice blocks and glass panes.
No mentions of spider webs.
This is not a bug, but it will be great yo be in the game...
Why not? I can see uses for spider webs.
Have you tried using shears?
Using shears it drops string, but Seth says that it should drop cobweb item when you use Silk Touch.
Whether it's done through allowing Silk Touch on shears or spiders that occasionally leave cobwebs as they move about, or any of several other options, I don't care how it's implemented but I'd really like it if spider webs could appear in survival mode. I could then decorate the less-visited parts of my empire with the odd web.
I never understood why cobwebs can't be collected with silk touch, but that's the way Mojang designed it.
This is a feature request not a bug and does not belong here
Logically it should drop cobweb.
It might be that mojang doesnt want it that way, but the votes are speaking differently for the users.
Swords can't have silk touch and shears can't be enchanted, so at the moment this is a feature request and not a bug report.
Ahh makes sense. Enchanted shears seems awesome to me. Prolong life, faster, and silk touch for webs. HMM
As well as make flint and steel enchantabletoo , but only for life (or immortal tool at high enchant levels?)
Using a Silk Touch shovel on ice works, why wouldn't using a silk touch shovel on web? As far as I know, the shovel is not the correct tool for either material.
There is 3 "levels" of tool usage. "Correct tool", "Wrong tool" and "no tool". I think shovel don't work on webs because it is "no tools" catalog for webs. Sword count as "Wrong tool" so 2 uses, BUT there's no such thing as silk touch for sword (or shears for that matter!)
Would have to test it though.
If you use TMI's feature of enchanting,you can get Silk Touch on your sword and it would work but that would be cheating...
This is not a bug, but a feature request, please post it in http://www.minecraftforum.net/forum/1-suggestions/
Shovels work on ice because using no tool is the right tool for that. Same counts for picks on grass
