by Le_Kheyde_30

Silver gear is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge mod that adds silver tools and armor, which players can craft and use like the iron equivalents.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 1.21.8

What it does

Silver gear adds a silver material to the game, so players can craft ability equipment from it in the same way they would with iron. The silver pieces have roughly the same stats as iron, with an extra 0.5 attack damage and about twice the durability. Silver ore appears in layers from y 32 down to y 0, and in deepslate from y 0 down to y -32. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Builds exist for 1.20.1 and 1.21.8, and the code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Silver tools and armor

    Silver equipment covers the tool and armor set that iron normally fills, giving players a second metal tier.

  2. Extra attack damage

    Silver weapons deal 0.5 more damage than their iron counterparts while keeping similar stats otherwise.

  3. Longer durability

    Silver pieces last close to twice as long as iron before breaking, which lengthens their use in play.

What the author says

Minecraft adds the ability to have equipment made of copper, iron, gold, diamond, and netherite (I haven't forgotten the useless chainmail). Why isn't silver, such a common material in our world, included? This mod fixes that! Silver equipment has more or less the same stats as iron equipment, except for 0.5 extra…
