Introduction
Contains shared classes used by several of my mods, to make them easier to update and maintain. The 1.16.3 version works on 1.16.4/5 as well.
Features
Commands
NBT Viewer
Available in version 4.2.3 and up, for Minecraft 1.14.3+.
The "sl_nbt" command can be used to view the NBT of a block, entity, or item in an easy to read format. Unlike the vanilla "data get" command, this opens a new UI and formats the text for easy reading. The output is also color-coded, and 32-bit integers are displayed in both decimal and hexadecimal. From there, you can also export the NBT to a JSON file (possibly useful when reporting bugs).
Removed Features
Guide Books
Removed in 1.13+
Version 2.1 introduced a guide book system. Any mod is welcome to utilize it. The design is heavily inspired by the booklet from Actually Additions.
The guide book allows buttons to quickly get to the mod's config GUI or achievements page (if implemented). A search box and an entry with all chapters is also included by default. A book is made of entries, entries contain multiple chapters, and chapters are one or more pages.
This is the Silent's Gems guide book. Currently this is the only mod that uses the guide book system, but creating a book is extremely easy. The hardest part is writing the actual text!
Cross Compatibility (Legacy)
This is discontinued in recent versions. The text in this section is left here for legacy reasons. Getting a mod to run on 1.10.2 and 1.11.2 is relatively simple. Supporting 1.12.x as well... not so much. In order to provide a better experience for players on 1.10.2 and 1.11.2, I have cut support for those versions. Only the 1.12.x versions of my mods are currently being updated.
For 1.10.x/1.11.x Players
Silent Lib allows some mods to run on multiple Minecraft versions. Mostly, this is limited to 1.10.2/1.11.x (10/11) compatibility. The 1.12.x versions mods have cut support for 10/11, it's just too messy. Download the version of Silent Lib marked with your Minecraft version (1.10.2, 1.11.2, etc.), then download the other mod(s) marked "universal". Yes, I realize this is a bit confusing. I wish there was a better way. But if you are using the Curse/Twitch client, the correct files should be downloaded automatically.
This feature is heavily inspired by McJty's CompatLayer. I borrowed ideals/code from there and modified it to fit my needs. Credit where credit is due.
List of Silent Lib Mods

Help! (FAQ)
It crashes!
Make sure Silent Lib and all mods that depend on it are up-to-date first. Mismatched versions are a common cause of crashes. If updating does not help, report it on the issue tracker of the mod that seems to be at fault. Usually the other mod is responsible. I may have forgotten to publish an update.
Where is [insert ancient version like 1.12.2 here]?
The files are still there, but they are appropriately hidden from the main page. Go to the "Files" tab, click "View All," then select the ancient game version that you for some reason have a desire to play. Research project for your history class or something?
My game on 1.18.2 keeps crashing and Im getting this message:
Error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Render layers can only be set during client loading! This might ideally be done from `FMLClientSetupEvent`. help?
Why did you block this mod on the aternos if other mods that need it are available?
can you let aternos publish your mod? I don't know why you block this mod for its distribution but not the others that depend on it in aternos, ridiculous decision this prohibition.
(edit I can't delete my comment, but I can say that it was added back to aternos, thank you very much.)

Hey in aternos it cant let me add it to my server, con u put it that i can put it to aternos?
Bugs and crashes are NOT to be reported in the comments section. I will ignore you. The issue tracker exists for a reason.
(1.18.2 Forge) White screen and hangs like P4YNinUK :-(
Was about to say about this Crashing on 1.18.2, but seems it's been reported thoroughly. The only thing I will add, it doesn't generate a log or a crash report on my end. The game just goes to a white screen and hangs. Tried downgrading to the previous version of Silentlib as suggested in comments and Health Scaling will not accept the older version. I'm downloading the older version of HS to try that now. Thanks for the work on the Mods :D
How do I get a crash report It keeps crashing I'm trying to use it with Silent Gear, all the mods I'm using are up to date
Im using- Crayfish's furniture mod,Physics Mod and the two I'm trying to use
Hi! Is there any way silent mechanisms will be updated soon?
Hello there! Sorry to bother you, but I'm here to report a bug:
I'm playing 1.17.1, and whenever I open up Minecraft with just THIS mod here. It won't even give me a crash log. Instead it'll freeze Minecraft just as it opens, and then it won't respond.
where is version 4.10? im using a modpack and installed lots of new mods
In reply to gappy550:
Just updated the file to beta status. Maybe you'll be able to see it now.
the newest version always crashs my game
In reply to framefisher:
Known issue, reported several times already. Go back to 4.9.x until all my mods are updated for 4.10.x. And for future reference, just saying "it crashes" is not helpful. Crash reports and log files are generated for a reason.
Do you plan to change mapping to mojang/parchment for later versions?
In reply to hero3112:
Yes, that will need to happen eventually.
is this fabric ?
Will silents collection ever be like it use to be in 1.12 where I could allow mobs to carry weapons made by this mod and set drops etc. In 1.16.5 I can barely see any weapons, its just not even close to the way it use to be.
