Simple but effective modular tools

Silent gear has always been my go-to tools mod, and although it lacks the flashy features of mods like Tetra and Tinker's construct it is very solid, and is on basically every version you could ever need.

Silent gear's data driven materials and traits alongside the wide level of mod compatibility built into the base mod have proved it incredibly nice for modpacks which don't suit the added complexity and further deviation from vanilla provided by other modular tools mods. While there used to be balancing issues on older versions, this has significantly improved and the mod feels pretty good by default, as long as it isn't run with other overpowered mods with really high tier materials.

The only place this mod falls a little is on presentation with slightly lackluster textures and simpler models than other mods like it. This is constantly improving however and on 1.21.1 the return of the display of every tool component helps a lot.
