Silent Gear guide for All the Mods 10 1.26 to 2.47

Silent Gear is all about gear: tools, weapons and armor that you build yourself from parts, with the materials you pick deciding how your gear turns out. You can use pretty much anything vanilla uses for tools and armor, like wood, stone, flint, iron, diamond and netherite. It also supports metals that other mods add, plus Silent Gear's own crimson steel, azure electrum and tyrian steel.^[1]

This pack runs Silent Gear 4.0.20.^[2]

The gear list is huge. Tools include pickaxes, shovels, axes, paxels, mattocks, sickles, hammers that mine an area and excavators that dig an area. Weapons include swords, tridents, machetes, katanas, daggers, knives, bows, crossbows and slingshots. On top of that you get armor, elytra and curios like rings and bracelets.^[1]

It's a great fit if you like tinkering. Every item needs a main part, such as a tool head or armor plates. Tools and weapons also need a rod, and some need a cord. Later you can grade your materials for better stats, add upgrades like tips and coatings, and combine materials into compounds.^[1]

Where it fits in the pack

The pack has a dedicated Silent Gear quest chapter that walks you from your first crafted pickaxe all the way to the mod's advanced metals.^[3]

1. Start in a quest in "?" by getting a Template Board, a Pickaxe Template and a Pickaxe Head. Then turn them into your first Pickaxe in a quest in "?".^[3]
2. Make Blueprint Paper in a quest in "?". This opens up quests for blueprints of every gear type, the Blueprint Book and the Salvager.^[3]
3. After the Salvager, the quests move on to the Material Grader and the Recrystallizer. The Recrystallizer is one of the mod's compound-making blocks.^[1][3]
4. The Material Grader leads to quests for Glowing Dust, Blazing Dust and Glittery Dust. These are the tier 1, 2 and 3 grading catalysts. It also leads to the Alloy Forge.^[1][3]
5. The Alloy Forge leads to the Starlight Charger in a quest in "?". From there the quests continue to Starmetal Dust, Azure Silver Dust, a Block of Azure Electrum and a Block of Tyrian Steel.^[3]

Silent Gear is all about building your own tools, weapons and armor out of parts, and this pack's quest chapter walks you through it in a clear order. Follow along and you'll go from a basic pickaxe to reusable blueprints in no time.^[1][3]

Step one: your first pickaxe

The chapter kicks off with a quest in "?", which asks for a Template Board, a Pickaxe Template and a Pickaxe Head. Templates are your cheap entry point. They work exactly like blueprints, except a template is used up after one craft, while a blueprint can be reused forever.^[1][3]

To make the head, combine the template with the right number of materials. The materials all have to be the same type, although their grades can differ. That head is the tool's main part.^[1]

Next, craft the head together with a rod to finish your Pickaxe, which completes a quest in "?". You don't need anything fancy for the rod: a plain stick works fine if you have nothing better. Most tools also have a quick recipe if you'd rather skip the separate part step.^[1][3][4]

Step two: blueprint paper

Once you have the pickaxe, a quest in "?" asks for Blueprint Paper. This is the big unlock. Nearly every other quest in the chapter branches off from it, one quest per blueprint, and every blueprint recipe uses this paper.^[3][4]

Because blueprints are reusable, it's worth making blueprints for the gear you use every day. Some good first picks:^[1][3]

• Pickaxe blueprint for a quest in "?", so you never have to craft another pickaxe template.^[1][3]
• Axe blueprint for a quest in "?" and shovel blueprint for a quest in "?" to round out your basic toolset.^[3]
• Sword blueprint for a quest in "?", which opens up more weapon quests, including the knife, dagger, katana, machete, spear, mace and trident blueprints.^[3]

Once your blueprints start piling up, grab a Blueprint Book for a quest in "?". It stores your blueprints and acts like them, so it saves a lot of inventory space. That quest then leads to the rod blueprint in a quest in "?", which unlocks the tip, binding, grip and coating blueprints.^[3][5]

Where to go next

Blueprint paper also unlocks the Salvager in a quest in "?". The salvager breaks some items down into their components, which is handy for old gear you've outgrown. After that, the chapter moves on to the Material Grader in a quest in "?". The grader improves your materials, starting with Glowing Dust as the tier 1 catalyst. From there the path continues to the Alloy Forge in a quest in "?".^[3][5]

Unverified Bows, crossbows and fishing rods need a cord part. Flax String may work as a cord material, but the sources don't confirm this.

Same as in the All the Mods 10 4.5 guide

Silent Gear focuses on tools, weapons and armor, which the mod calls gear. So the core mechanics are about crafting, grading, repairing and upgrading gear. Here is how those systems work in this pack, as far as the sources explain them.^[1]

Crafting gear: blueprints, templates and parts

Every gear item needs a main part. Tools and weapons also need a rod, and some need a cord. Blueprints and templates are what you use to make those parts. A blueprint can be reused forever, while a template is used up after one craft. Otherwise they are identical.^[1][7]

1. Combine the blueprint or template for the tool with the right number of materials to make the main part, such as a tool head or blade. In a normal crafting grid the materials must all be the same, though grades and other modifiers can differ.^[1][7]
2. Craft the main part with a rod. You can make a rod with a rod blueprint, or just use a plain stick.^[1]
3. For bows, crossbows and fishing rods, add the cord and the rod at the same time.^[1]

Most tools also have a quick recipe that skips the separate steps. When you use a blueprint or template in the crafting station, you can mix materials. Check the blueprint tooltip for the details of the final item.^[1][7]

Armor works differently and has no quick recipe. You craft plates first, then craft the plates into armor, optionally adding a lining. Elytra need wings plus a binding. The wings only accept materials in the cloth and sheet categories. Curios such as rings and bracelets need jeweler's tools on top of the blueprint step, and their main part only accepts metal materials.^[1]

In this pack the allowed blueprint type is set to both blueprints and templates, and new players do not get a starter blueprint package.^[9]

Placing most vanilla items into a crafting grid by themselves converts them to the Silent Gear equivalent. The pack leaves gear.allow_conversion_recipes on. Parts swapped out of a gear item are returned to you, since gear.upgrades.destroy_swapped_parts is off.^[1][9]

The material grader and catalysts

Grades are modifiers that multiply some, but not all, material stats. From lowest to highest they are E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS and MAX. You grade materials in the material grader, which uses up one catalyst per attempt and assigns the grade randomly from a normal distribution.^[1]

• Tier 1 catalyst: glowing dust. Crafting the grader also gives you one.^[1][7]
• Tier 2 catalyst: blazing dust.^[1][7]
• Tier 3 catalyst: glittery dust.^[1][7]

In this pack a tier 1 catalyst gives a median grade of C, and each tier above 1 raises the median by one grade, so tier 2 centers on B. The standard deviation is 1.5, which matches the mod default. A larger value makes both high and low grades more common.^[9]

Alloys and compound materials

Compound materials, often called alloys, come from the metal alloyer, recrystallizer and refabricator. These are mid to late game blocks. They combine up to four materials into one compound. Put two or more different simple (non-compound) materials into the input slots, then toggle the Work button once the result preview looks right. The mod also has a super mixer block that makes alloys of any material.^[1][7]

Starlight Charger

The Starlight Charger gains charge when exposed to starlight, and its structure level can take up to 30 seconds to update. It applies the Star Charged enchantment to material items, which enhances their stats substantially. In this pack its charge rate is 100 and it stores up to 1,000,000 energy. Both match the mod defaults.^[7][9]

Salvaging old gear

The salvager can break some items down into their components. How many parts you lose depends on the item's remaining durability. In this pack the loss rate runs from 0 (no loss) up to 0.5, both the mod defaults.^[7][9]

Breaking and repairing

You cannot repair gear by crafting two similar gear items together. Repair kits let you repair in any crafting grid. You can fill a kit with materials ahead of time, or put the gear, the kit and the materials into the grid together. The material's tier must be the same or higher than the gear's primary part. To empty a kit, craft it with a stick.^[1][7]

In this pack the Azure Repair Kit holds 64 and the crimson kit holds 48, the same as the mod defaults. Loose-material repair efficiency without a kit is 0, which means kits are needed. Anvil repairs work at an effectiveness of 0.5.^[9]

Gear does not break permanently here, because gear.breaks_permanently is off. A tool that runs out of durability becomes a broken item that you can repair, and the game shows a chat message to tell you so. Only gear with the red card upgrade breaks for good, like vanilla gear.^[7][9]

Area tools, saws and the prospector

• Hammers mine stone and ores in a 3x3 area, and by default only break ores when you aim at an ore. Excavators mine soil in a 3x3 area. The pack uses STRICT matching for ores and MODERATE for most other blocks.^[7][9]
• The wide plate upgrade adds 1 to the effect radius of hammers and excavators, and it does not stack. The road maker upgrade lets excavators make grass paths in 3x3 patches.^[7]
• The saw fells a whole tree from a single block, but the logs and leaves must be correctly tagged to count as a tree. Its search depth is capped at 200 in this pack.^[7][9]
• The prospector hammer searches a small area in the direction you right-click, mostly for ores. Its range here is 16 blocks.^[7][9]

Upgrades and enchanting

Tip upgrades can be crafted onto an existing tool or weapon. Most add or subtract a fixed amount from certain stats, and some use multipliers instead. In this pack upgrade parts can be applied outside an anvil, since gear.upgrades.apply_in_anvil_only is off. Normal enchanting of gear is allowed, and enchantments are not forcibly stripped.^[7][9]

The vanilla tool nerf option is switched off, so the reduced durability and speed settings for vanilla tools are not in effect.^[9]

Pack-specific recipes

The pack adds a few Silent Gear related recipes on top of the mod's own. A hammer from the ore hammers tag plus an ingot gives you the dust of blaze gold, azure electrum, azure silver, crimson iron, crimson steel or tyrian steel. The pack also lets you craft Azure Silver and Crimson Iron ingots from the matching Mystical Agriculture essence.^[8]

The Silent Gear quest chapter in this pack is your roadmap. It takes you from your very first hand-made pickaxe, through blueprints and the processing machines, up to the Starlight Charger and the mod's fancy endgame metals. Here's how the chain is laid out, stage by stage.^[3]

Stage 1: Your first Silent Gear pickaxe

The chapter kicks off with a quest in "?". It asks you for a Template Board, a Pickaxe Template and a Pickaxe Head. Once those are done, a quest in "?" asks you to put together a finished Pickaxe.^[3]

It unlocks separate quests for the pickaxe, shovel, axe, hammer, excavator, mattock, paxel, sickle, shears, sword, bow, crossbow, slingshot, arrow, fletching, fishing rod, shield, helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots, elytra, lining, ring, bracelet and necklace blueprints. It also unlocks the Blueprint Book and Salvager quests.^[3]

Two of those quests branch out further. The sword blueprint quest, a quest in "?", leads to the knife, dagger, katana, machete, spear, mace and trident blueprints. The Blueprint Book quest, a quest in "?", leads to the rod blueprint in a quest in "?". That one then opens the coating, tip, binding and grip blueprint quests.^[3]

Stage 3: Salvager, Material Grader and Alloy Forge

The Salvager quest, a quest in "?", opens up the machine side of the chapter. It branches into the Recrystallizer quest, a quest in "?", and the Material Grader quest, a quest in "?".^[3]

Flax lives in the Food and Farming chapter rather than the Silent Gear one. a quest in "?" asks for Flax Seeds, then a quest in "?" asks for Flax String. The pack also adds a market recipe, so you can buy Flax Seeds instead of hunting for them.^[4][6]

Unverified The available sources don't cover how Silent Gear's materials rank against each other: their tiers, stats and traits. They also don't cover what each quest rewards, since the quests have no titles or descriptions in the sources. So this section follows the quest order rather than a material tier list.

Silent Gear's most visible link to other mods in this pack is its Netherwood. Sawing machines from other mods can process it, and a whole set of decorative furniture is made from it. The pack also ties Silent Gear's flax into the farming questline, so you'll run into it outside the Silent Gear chapter too.^[4][6]

Sawing Netherwood

The pack adds two sawing recipes that give you Netherwood Planks from Netherwood logs. The first is a Mekanism sawing recipe, which also gives you Sawdust alongside the planks. The second is a Productive Trees sawmill recipe that also involves Sawdust. Neither is a Silent Gear default; both were added by the pack.^[4]

Flax in the farming quests

Silent Gear's flax also shows up in the food and farming quest chapter. a quest in "?" asks you for Flax Seeds, and the follow-up quest a quest in "?" asks for Flax String.^[6]

Materials from other mods

Silent Gear's project page says the mod supports metals commonly added by other mods, such as tin, silver and lead, as gear materials. Silent Gear doesn't add those items itself, so you get them from whichever mods provide them.^[1]

Unverified Which modded metals actually work as gear materials in this pack has not been confirmed, so check JEI in-game before planning gear around one. This site does hold All the Mods 10's own recipes, read from the pack itself: look the item up in the item browser.

Silent Gear shows up in two quest chapters in this pack. Most of it is in its own dedicated chapter, silent_gear, which walks you from your first part-built pickaxe through blueprints, the processing machines and finally the alloy metals. A small pair of quests in the food_and_farming chapter also covers the mod's flax.^[3][6]

The silent_gear chapter

The chapter opens with two quests side by side. a quest in "?" asks for a Coating Smithing Template. a quest in "?" asks for a Template Board, a Pickaxe Template and a Pickaxe Head. That second quest is the one that starts the main line.^[3]

1. Finish your first tool: a quest in "?" asks for a finished Pickaxe and unlocks after a quest in "?".^[3]
2. Make Blueprint Paper for a quest in "?". This is the big hub quest of the chapter, and almost everything else branches off it.^[3]

Blueprints

Once you have the paper, you can take on a large set of one-item blueprint quests in any order. They cover tools like the Pickaxe Blueprint (a quest in "?"), Axe Blueprint (a quest in "?"), Shovel Blueprint (a quest in "?"), Paxel Blueprint (a quest in "?"), Hammer Blueprint (a quest in "?") and Excavator Blueprint (a quest in "?"). They also cover armor, from the Helmet Blueprint (a quest in "?") down to the Boots Blueprint (a quest in "?"), plus ranged gear, curios and the Elytra Blueprint (a quest in "?").^[3]

Two of these quests open further branches. a quest in "?" asks for the Sword Blueprint and unlocks the other bladed weapons: knife, dagger, katana, machete, spear, trident and mace, starting with a quest in "?" for the katana. a quest in "?" asks for a Blueprint Book and leads to the Rod Blueprint in a quest in "?". That quest then opens the part blueprints for coating, tip, binding and grip, for example a quest in "?" for the Grip Blueprint.^[3]

Machines and alloys

1. Build a Salvager for a quest in "?", which also branches off the blueprint paper quest.^[3]
2. The salvager unlocks both the Recrystallizer in a quest in "?" and the Material Grader in a quest in "?".^[3]
3. The material grader leads to three dust quests: Blazing Dust, Glowing Dust and Glittery Dust. It also leads to the Alloy Forge in a quest in "?".^[3]
4. The alloy forge unlocks the Starlight Charger in a quest in "?".^[3]
5. The starlight charger opens the final set of alloy quests: Starmetal Dust, Azure Silver Dust, Blaze Gold Dust, a Block of Azure Electrum and a Block of Tyrian Steel. a quest in "?" asks for 4 of the Block of Crimson Steel.^[3]

Flax in food_and_farming

Over in the food_and_farming chapter, a quest in "?" asks you to pick up Flax Seeds. It is followed by a quest in "?", which wants Flax String.^[6]

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

Silent Gear has a common config and a server config in this pack, and they cover mostly the same options. Here are the ones you're most likely to care about, and what the pack sets them to.^[10][11]

Did the pack change anything?

Everywhere the common file lists a mod default, the pack's value matches it. That includes gear.prospector_hammer.range at 16, gear.saw.recursion_depth at 200 and gear.repairs.anvil_effectiveness at 0.5. The server file shows a different starlight charger charge rate, covered below.^[10][11]

Starlight charger

In the common file, starlight_charger.charge_rate is 100 (the mod default), starlight_charger.max_charge is 1,000,000 and starlight_charger.work_time is NIGHTTIME. starlight_charger.requires_view_of_sky is true, so the charger needs a clear view of the sky above it. starlight_charger.can_charge_parts is false.^[10]

The server file lists its own charge rate, starlightCharger.chargeRate, as 50, and its starlightCharger.maxCharge as 1,000,000.^[11]

Breaking and repairing gear

• gear.breaks_permanently is false, so gear doesn't break permanently the way vanilla tools and armor do. gear.send_broken_message is true, so you get a chat message when something breaks, with a hint that it can be repaired.^[10]
• gear.repairs.anvil_effectiveness is 0.5. Setting it to 0 would disable anvil repairs.^[10]
• item.repair_kits.efficiency.missing is 0, so repair kits are not optional. Any value above zero would make them optional by allowing repairs with loose materials.^[10]
• item.repair_kits.capacity.very_crude is 8.^[10]
• item.repair_kits.capacity.crude is 16.^[10]
• item.repair_kits.capacity.sturdy is 32.^[10]
• item.repair_kits.capacity.crimson is 48.^[10]
• item.repair_kits.capacity.azure is 64, and item.repair_kits.efficiency.azure is 0.5.^[10]

Enchanting and conversion

gear.enchanting.allow_enchanting is true, so you can enchant gear by normal means, and gear.enchanting.force_remove_enchantments is false, so enchantments aren't stripped. gear.allow_conversion_recipes is also true, so you can, for example, put a vanilla stone pickaxe in a crafting grid to get a Silent Gear stone pickaxe.^[10]

Starting out

item.blueprint.spawn_with_starter_blueprints and item.material_book.spawn_with_material_book are both false, so you don't get a blueprint package or a material book when you join a new world. item.blueprint.types_allowed is BOTH, so blueprints and templates are both allowed.^[10]

Material grader and salvager

The material grader's material_grader.median_grade is C with a tier 1 catalyst, and each catalyst tier past 1 raises it by one grade. material_grader.standard_deviation is 1.5, and material_grader.can_grade_parts is false.^[10]

The salvager's part loss runs from 0 (salvager.part_loss_rate.min) to 0.5 (salvager.part_loss_rate.max), depending on remaining durability. salvager.break_down_parts_with_gear is false, so parts come back as parts and you can salvage them individually.^[10]

Nerfed vanilla tools

Silent Gear has been in All the Mods 10 for a long time. It first showed up in pack version 2.2 or earlier, and in 2.47 you're running Silent Gear 4.0.20, built for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge.^[2]

The pack has updated the mod steadily through its releases. Here's every Silent Gear bump recorded in the pack changelogs, newest first:^{[12][13][14][15][16][17]}

Unverified The pack changelogs only list version numbers. They don't say what changed inside Silent Gear with each update, such as bug fixes, balance tweaks, or new materials and parts. The mod's own changelogs weren't available for this guide, so the specific changes between these versions are unverified. If you're chasing a particular fix or feature, check the mod's own release notes.
