When using Silk Touch on an Ore Block it will not drop the Ore. When an Iron or Coal Ore Block is destroyed with a Pickaxe it drops as the Raw Ore itself An Iron Ingot or Coal Ore. Instead they get destroyed and turn into something else. There’s many blocks in Minecraft that, when destroyed, will not be dropped as themselves. Silk Touch is an Enchantment that can be placed on most mining Tools and it is used to prevent certain blocks for being turned into drops when destroyed.
