EnlargeThe most common way to obtain Silk Touch is through an Enchanting Table. You'll need XP and Lapis Lazuli to enchant an item.
EnlargePlacing bookshelves around the Enchanting Table will increase the possible enchantment levels of an item. There must be one block of air between a bookshelf and the Enchanting Table for this to work.
Head out into open water and use your Fishing Rod to catch items with Silk Touch enchantments. The Luck of the Sea enchant will increase your chances of catching enchanted items.
EnlargeYou'll find Silk Touch in Treasure Chests in structures and dungeons around the world. Make sure you're properly equipped with armor and weapons since these areas will be infested with Mobs.
EnlargeYou'll be able to trade items with villagers to obtain Silk Touch. Librarians will be your best bet since you can trade Emeralds for enchantments even at Novice levels.
You'll have to level up other Villager types to obtain their enchanted stock.
While you can use Silk Touch to get exact blocks, such as Ore blocks themselves instead of what they drop, this enchantment should be prioritized for getting unobtainable blocks.
This means it's particularly helpful when breaking blocks such as Glass, Glass Panes, or Ice, since these would normally just disappear upon being broken. You'll no longer waste any misplaced blocks, and you can gather blocks that you couldn't before.
Keep in mind that you cannot use Silk Touch and Fortune on the same tool.
