About the Golden Touch data pack

Silk Touch is very useful, it gives you the ability to mine a lot of blocks. But you have to gamble to get Silk Touch, not very nice. Unlike other enchantments, It should be more accessible, craftable even. This datapack does it by adding a smithing recipe to upgrade a book into a Silk Touch enchanted book with gold and lapis.

As all three ingredients are renewable, this gives a consistent and easy way to get Silk Touch while not making it too easy. It also gives a use for gold.
