Blacksmithing: Silent Gear and Simply Swords
Since 0.5.2-birch-11 the pack has two mods for people who want more than the vanilla sword.
Silent Gear: forge your own gear
Section titled “Silent Gear: forge your own gear”Silent Gear builds tools, weapons and armour from parts instead of one fixed recipe:
- Craft a blueprint for the part you want (a sword blade, a pickaxe head, a rod, armour plates and so on).
- Use the blueprint with a material to make the part. Iron, gold, diamond, and many modded metals and gems all work, and each material changes the stats and the look.
- Put the parts together into the finished item. Mix materials (an iron blade on a gold guard) to balance speed, damage and durability the way you like.
- Gear can be upgraded, repaired and taken apart again, so a good sword grows with you.
JEI shows every blueprint and part. Look up a Silent Gear item and follow it back.
Simply Swords: more ways to fight
Section titled “Simply Swords: more ways to fight”Simply Swords adds new weapon types, each with its own feel: katanas, rapiers, longswords, twinblades, greataxes, greathammers, glaives, halberds, scythes, chakrams and more. They are crafted at a normal crafting table from the usual metals. There are also rare unique weapons with special abilities that turn up as loot.
Good to know
Section titled “Good to know”- Both work with the PvP rules like any other weapon: every kill counts toward the 3-kill cooldown.
- A handful of Silent Gear recipes meant for mods Indigo does not have are switched off. Nothing you can use is missing.
