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
May or may not be up-to-date (updated 2021-04-24). I release new mods occasionally. But I'll try to keep this updated. Some of my mods do not use Silent Lib, mostly smaller mods that add no blocks or items.

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?
add for 1.12.2 pls
In reply to ciao10089:
Added directions for locating ancient versions to the FAQ.
HI, is mod silent mechanisms still maintained?
In reply to krjencik:
Yes, it's just a low priority for me right now
This mod! This mod here! Exactly the mod i need to get that NBT data i been struggling to get! My datapacks can now hit there full potential! ♥
The latest two releases are not marked as 1.16.5. They can't be installed by curse launcher. :/
In reply to Skaphegor:
Corrected, thanks for pointing it out
no problem
pls update to 1.16.5 there are mods in 1.16.5 that need this and the version does not exist yet
In reply to NoahFrechette:
The latest version should already be compatible. I was just about to go thru and mark everything as such.
After i updated your mod in the latest version, SilentLib-1.16.3-4.9.1+64, i loaded my existing world i got this message "errors in currently selected datapacks prevented world from loading" and now my world is corrupted
In reply to RobertShady:
No idea how that could happen. All that version added was a safety check on making items compostable. Open a new issue on GitHub with more information and log files if you can't figure out the cause.

Im Just reusing this mod but before like the guy below me my game kept crashing and i found it was because of the creeper, everytime a creeper explodes the game crashes
In reply to chiefinkeef:
If it's a Scaling Health issue, report it on that mod's issue tracker. I no longer maintain Scaling Health, so I can't help.
1.16.3 Compatibility please! I need it for Scaling Health 1.16.3!!!
In reply to itslegendary_walter:
Looks like the 1.16.2 version should work with no changes.
In reply to SilentChaos512:
thanks!!!
my world crashes every few minutes and the map doesn't load me. Is it because I don't have all the mods? I only have Silent Gems and Silent Lib installed And another thing. Is there any incompatibility with other mods?In reply to DOKU100:
Shouldn't be any incompatible mods. But you didn't give me any information to work with here, so I can't help you. Open a new issue on the GitHub issue tracker and include at least a crash report.
