I'm confused....why would you need this? I can sell you a stack or so of flint if that's what you want.....

I'm guessing its for grass/mycelium. The flint would be cheaper than the amount you'd get from a shovel's uses, but mycelium is a bit more pricey. That, and a pick would only get half the amount.
Just a hunch though.

Wait, so if you break a mycelium block with a fortune shovel, you have a chance of getting more than one block? I thought this only worked with blocks that dropped things...(ex. gravel, diamond ore, redstone ore, coal ore)

I take back what I said, and side with your question.
So fnd, why the interest in a fortune shovel? Lol.

I believe using fortune on clay blocks results in more clay balls.

How would a silk touch help with mycelium?

Well for starters, you can't get mycelium without silk touch, but I'm assuming you're already aware of that. What I was referring to was the fact that if you use a silk touch pick on mycelium, each use gets treated as two uses for the pick, thereby halving the number of mycelium blocks you would obtain (assuming you used all the possible uses on mycelium) as opposed to using a shovel, which would get you the full number of possible blocks before breaking. And at just under 10k a pop, you'd want the best bang for your buck if you wish to capitalize on your silky investment ;)

You mean 10K for the silk touch or the mycelium?
