Disable fancy spirits for Malum

Describe your suggestion

Enable "No Fancy Spirits" option in Malum mod config

Why would you like this added/changed?

Fancy spirits don't have good compatibility with other mods that you may use for spirits farming, especially mods like JDT. While it's fairly possible to farm spirits using Malum methods, such as totems and geasa, these methods can be quite tedious or not sufficient enough for large builds that use Malum building blocks or spirit crucibles running with soul surges

Thank you for the suggestion.

I know nothing about Malum tbf - @MuteTiefling what do you think? 😄

It's pretty to have this option on (on by default) as it animates the spirits that drop when killing mobs with certain weapons.

But it does complicate things when it comes to automation in a way that's not easy to handle. The floating spirits try to find the nearest player and can take a while before they fall as actual items. In a farm that could mean hundreds of entities floating around for several minutes.

Disabling this option would just make them fall as items immediately. It's probably for the best to just turn it off.

Eskies has it off, for reference, since spirits are such a large part of that pack. I could see it getting annoying fast, even in e10 though

Thank you for the explanation 👍 I'll turn it off.
