I've attuned a mantle to Böotes and the flares are a really nice companion for aiding in combat and daily self defense with their long ranged zapping. However, one problem with the flares is that they impede some tasks while you are looking upwards, such as breaking blocks, placing blocks, or fighting flying enemies (because of their hitbox). Sure, you can smack the flares out of the way, but you just lose your bodyguards doing that.

Could you make it so if the Böotes flares are not targeting anything, and the player is looking up, they will flock to the player's feet to not disturb? They can return to hovering over your head once you look down again.

Here are some things I came up with in the context of this issue:

I've made the flares stay out of my face by having them randomly wander around.
Even if they do obstruct my view, i've made them so small the cursor can't collide with them.

Since 1.12 AS has alreay hit its "feature freeze" well before and this isn't a critical bug or applicable to the flares of the future (as in 1.15 flare rework), I'm closing this, as my fork of AS already "solves" this.
