It would likely be a rare drop from a specific mob or factions of mobs such as within Utumno since any side could claim it easily without having to apply the item to trolls and ents for example so both factions can claim them.

The item would have mithril/diamond standard and could pickup both soft blocks (dirt/gravel/snow) and hard blocks (stone/obsidian/ice).

This would be a very positive addition especially to servers that don't allow normal enchanting so you can claim the blocks which you can't normaly get such as Ice which is not rare but impossible to obtain on some servers.

Some effeciency and durability should also be applied randomly from 0-5/0-3 so that you can claim many snow blocks without the item breaking quickly. I think this feature if added should be put completley randomly and without percentage of chance since it would be already difficult to obtain the item.

Either that or it should already have the durability level 3 applied so that it does not break quickly.

If it's too tricky to code in the ability to silk any block then I think a Spade item and Pick item should be dropped as seperate items instead of just having one. If this comes to be then the spade should have a higher chance to drop I believe.
