I don't know my version or loader
Introduction
Contains shared classes used by several of my mods, to make them easier to update and maintain.
Features
Commands
NBT Viewer
Note: Items no longer have NBT in Minecraft 1.21.
The "sl_nbt" command can be used to view the NBT of a block, entity, or item (pre-1.21) 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).

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?
