I've been noticing that Silk Touch has been constantly nerfed very much, and many people are begging to bring it back. I agree that it was too imbalanced before but now its too useless. Only good for getting ores for storage.
I suggest a proper and balanced way to improve it.
Give the enchantment more levels, like two or three.
Higher levels can get more items like glass and ice and lower levels can get only a few.
As for getting water in the nether with ice, it should simply become steam.
They didn't nerf it. Glass was a bug but now it's fixed and ice is a bug too. Jeb said he needs to make it so when you break the ice it doesn't leave a water source behind.
More levels for Silk Touch is not a solution ! It's hard enough just obtaining it once !
IMO, Silk Touch should work on every block and be less rare, endpoint !
Its not like one in a million chance to get silk touch at 50, maybe for every 3-4 picks, one will get it. They should make the lower levels less rare and higher levels more rare! simple!

Do you guys agree?
