Silent's Gems guide for Project Infinity 0.1 0.0.45.4 to 0.0.50.2-hotfix

Same as in the All the Mods 10 8.1 guide

Silent's Gems is the mod for colorful gemstones and building blocks. It adds 16 gemstones, and you can craft them into gem blocks, bricks, small bricks, polished, chiseled and smooth gem stones, glass and lamps. The pack includes version 5.1.3.^[1][2]

If you love building, this one is for you. It gives you a lot of new colors to work with, and the gems can also become tools and armor when Silent Gear is installed. Silent Gear is what you need for gem tools and armor, and Silent Lib is required for the mod itself.^[1]

Where the gems come from

The gems are spread across the three vanilla dimensions and overlap a bit, so some Nether and End gems can occasionally turn up in the overworld. The mod lets you configure which gems generate in which dimension and how often, and you can even disable specific gems. I can't confirm from the sources whether the pack changes any of those defaults.^[1]

Black Diamonds spawn somewhat low in the Nether and less often than other gems, so you should find plenty while digging for ancient debris. White Diamonds spawn somewhat low in the End, so you'll need to dig around. Both are strong in all stats but much harder to find.^[1]

Gem roles

If you use the gems for Silent Gear tools and armor, each gem fits a role. Gems are usually stronger in their role's stats, and every gem still has unique traits.^[1]

• Durability: Ruby and Carnelian. They are good for repairs and area-of-effect harvest tools like the hammer and excavator.^[1]
• Speed: Topaz, Citrine and Heliodor. They are good for harvest tools.^[1]
• Damage: Peridot, Moldavite and Rose Quartz. They are good for weapons like swords and bows.^[1]
• Armor: Sapphire, Iolite and Ammolite.^[1]
• All-Rounder: Turquoise, Kyanite, Alexandrite and Black/White Diamond. They are above average in most stats.^[1]

Handy extras

• Gem Bag: collects and stores gems as you mine them, which frees up your inventory. It doesn't apply to ores.^[1]
• Glowrose: a light-emitting flower that spawns naturally. Its light is enough to prevent mob spawns just two blocks away (configurable), and potted glowroses give off much more light than freestanding ones.^[1]
• Flower Basket: works like the Gem Bag, but collects flowers you mine.^[1]
• Summon Kitty and Summon Puppy: spawn a tamed cat or dog, which you can name in an anvil.^[1]

Unverified The sources I have don't show where Silent's Gems fits in the pack's progression, and no quests involving it were found. Whether Silent Gear is also in the pack, which you need for gem tools and armor, is not confirmed here either.

Same as in the Project Infinity 0.1 0.0.51.4-hotfix-2 guide

The config file this pack ships for Silent's Gems, config/silentgems-common.toml, has two options that matter for your builds. Both are about how bright glowroses are.^[3]

• block.glowrose.normalLight is set to 10 in this pack. It controls the light level of free-standing glowroses, and it accepts values from 0 to 15.^[3]
• block.glowrose.pottedLight is set to 15 in this pack. It controls the light level of glowroses planted in vanilla flower pots, and it also accepts values from 0 to 15.^[3]

In this pack, a glowrose in a flower pot is at the top of the 0 to 15 range, and one growing freely is at 10. If you want a bright, compact light source, the pot is the way to go.^[3]

Unverified The sources I have don't show the mod's default values for these two options, so I can't say whether the pack changed them.

The mod page also says gem generation is configurable. You can generate any gem in any dimension, set how often it appears, or stop specific gems from generating at all. The sources I have don't name the exact options for this.^[1]
