Silent Gear Mod Guide | Minecraft Mod Spotlight

If you just started playing in an all the mods mod pack chances are you’re going to be running into the mod silent gear today we’re going to be doing a complete starter guide on how you can use this mod to survive 100 days in modded minecraft silent gear is all

About creating tools and armor to help you conquer your world and if you plan on surviving in your playthrough you should get started on day one by using their tools and armor the mod focuses on making tools and armor based on parts made from blueprints or templates if

You’ve ever used tanker’s construct to forge your own tool parts it is very similar in mechanics but silent gear is a lot easier to get those metal tools in the beginning let’s get started with the basics silent gear replaces the way we craft tools armor and weapons with a

System that allows us to customize each item by creating individual parts that form stronger items when crafted together these items come with several advantages each item can be repaired on the go by using repair kits they come with their own traits that act like enchantments on the item and you are

Able to replace and upgrade parts as you get better materials when you first load into the world you might have something called a blueprint package this package gives you several of the starter tool blueprints they are easily made so don’t sweat it if you didn’t start with it

We’ll go over blueprints later on but let’s get started by using our knowledge of vanilla tools the first step you should make in your playthrough is to convert any of your vanilla tools and armor to silent gear items if you have already made yourself some basic wood or

Stone tools go ahead and take the tool and put it back into the crafting table you’ll see that it converts your tools to silent gear as well as giving it some cool traits along with it we’ll discuss traits a little later as well let’s break down how silent gear items work

Every silent gear item can be broken down into several parts and these parts are crafted by combining materials with a blueprint when we combine the parts back together we get the full item so how do we start making these items silent gear has two ways to create parts

You can either use a template or a blueprint for the tool part blueprints are the main items used to create parts as they have infinite uses if you have paper and blue dye you can start out by making blueprints and skip using templates altogether if you only have

Access to wood templates are temporary blueprints that are consumed on use and are only meant for the beginning of your playthrough you’ll need a knife to turn logs into template boards let’s go ahead and create the knife start out by combining two sticks together in a

Crafting table this will get you a rough rod which if we combine one of these with a piece of cobblestone we’ll get our first knife when we combine the knife with logs in a crafting table you’ll create yourself template boards with these template boards you can create the templates needed to make your

Tool parts to give you an example on how to create tool parts and items we’re going to make a sword start by crafting some template boards and then with the template boards craft yourself two different templates the tool rod template and the sword blade template

You can search for every item in the mod by typing in at silent gear at the bottom locate the sword blade template and right click on it at the top we’re going to scroll until we see the gear crafting tab for silent gear and here

We’ll see that if we put the template in a crafting table with materials we can get a sword blade part this can be any material that you may have like stone any kind of ingots stuff like that as long as the item has silent gear material underneath it we’ll just use

Stone for this part and craft ourselves a stone blade part we’re going to be doing the same thing with the tool rod pattern go ahead and put the tool rod pattern in a crafting table and let’s give it a wooden handle by placing two planks together with the template now

That we have our parts let’s put them together in the crafting table to create our very first sword if we hold shift over this newly crafted sword we can see a list of traits on the item this will tell you exactly what each trait does as

Well as the stats of the item like the durability attack damage etc you can always check to see what each ingot and material does by looking for them in your mod pack now we’re going to make our sword even better go ahead and grab yourself some iron and craft yourself

Another sword blade part using the iron instead of having to craft another handle to make a new sword just combine your old stone sword with the new blade part in a crafting table this will replace the blade with the new iron part and give us back our

Old stone blade silent gear allows us to upgrade our tools and armor and weapons as we get better materials in our playthrough speaking of upgrading there are several upgrades we can put on our tools and armor such as the tip upgrade this upgrade is great for pickaxes for

Example if you only have an iron pickaxe but you’re looking to try and mine some obsidian to get to the nether and you only find one diamond out in the world we can use this one diamond to craft ourselves a diamond tip upgrade to make yourself a tip upgrade you’ll need to

Combine the diamond with an upgrade base as well as the tip upgrade blueprint to create yourself a diamond tip upgrade combining this with our iron pickaxe will upgrade the mining level to diamond which allows the pickaxe to mine obsidian for the cost of one diamond instead of three it also upgrades the

Stats of the tool and gives it a new trait along with it there are many more upgrade blueprints for tools and armor so make sure to check these out what happens if the durability reaches zero on an item the item doesn’t just break and disappear it just becomes broken and

We can repair them using repair kits if you have iron already craft yourself a crude repair kit when we hover over the repair kit we can see the efficiency of repairing our items and how many repair items it can hold think of the repair kit as just a little bag that holds the

Items you’re going to use to repair your tools and armor to show how to use the repair kit start by placing the repair kit in a crafting table with some iron ingots around it and it will give you a repair kit with iron in it if we take

And put our sword in the crafting table together with the repair kit it fixes our sword the repair kit has to have the materials your item is made out of to be able to repair it the best way to use a repair kit is to stock it up before

Heading out on adventure this way when your tool breaks while you’re out you can easily fix it on the go make sure to check out the other repair kits as they do upgrade as you get better materials silent gear also adds other tools that you can create to help you out in the

World there are excavators which dig nine blocks instead of one hammers that mine nine blocks instead of one and many more it also adds several new weapon types such as the katana which is faster than a sword but with slightly less damage the machete which is slower than a sword but

With more damage and can also harvest wood the dagger which is a small low damage weapon that has a very high attack speed the knife which is just like the dagger with higher durability but lower damage and speed and the spear which is weaker than a sword but has an

Overall longer reach with all of these blueprints starting to pile up it’s best to make a silent gear blueprint book which acts as a portable chest to store all of your blueprints in as you upgrade your tools and weapons and replace the parts this can get costly but that

Doesn’t mean those parts will go to waste you can always make yourself a salvager which takes your parts or silent gear items and converts them back into the materials used to make them don’t let them go to waste silent gear also adds more ores and ingots to the game which create stronger

Tools and armor towards the end game you can find crimson iron in the nether which is used to make crimson steel which is stronger than diamonds azure silver which is found in the inn to make azure electrum that has insanely high mining speed and great attack damage as

Well as more crafted materials like blaze gold and tyrion steel while this is most of the mod you can upgrade your items even further later in your playthrough silent gear adds a machine called a material grader to grade materials and give them higher stats this isn’t really worth getting into in

The early game with something like iron but gets more use when using higher tier materials like crimson steel with the material greater you can put materials in and use a greater catalyst to give the material a grade which will upgrade the material stats depending on the grade that is given there are three

Greater catalysts tier one which is glowing dust tier two which is blazing dust and tier three which is glittery dust the catalysts don’t guarantee the best upgrade but instead increases the chance of getting a better grade overall the best grade you can get is max which increases the overall sets of the item

By a ton the higher the tier of the material used the more of an effect you’ll see on the stats if having max materials wasn’t enough you can upgrade the material even further by enchanting it using the starlight charger while the starlight charger is the main item needed to

Supercharge your materials you will actually need to create an alter like area to use it to make the alter start by placing the starlight charger in the center of a 7×7 area in view of the sky in each of the four corners we need to create pillars that are three blocks

Tall the top of the pillar is the only block that matters here so you can use any decorative block for the first two blocks of the pillar or the ground underneath the starlight charger at the top of the pillars you have to use one of three different blocks tier 1 uses

Crimson steel blocks tier 2 uses azure electron blocks and tier 3 uses tyrion steel blocks the pillar cap determines the maximum charge levels that can be applied to the material just like the material grader there are catalysts that can be used to increase the level of charge we get

These catalysts are tier 1 blaze gold dust tier 2 as your silver dust and tier 3 starlight dust the starlight charger will only get starlight power at night under the stars hence the name and when created properly it will begin charging your items this process takes a very

Long time and a lot of starlight power on stronger materials but increases the stats of the material by a massive amount this is how we make the strongest material for our late game tools and armor there are several other blocks in the mod but they are all currently

Labeled as works in progress you can have fun experimenting with them if you’d like but i’ve covered all you’ll need to survive 100 days with silent gear if this video helped you out make sure to like and subscribe to the channel for more guides and mod reviews to help you in modded minecraft See
