This is probably a dumb question but would it be possible to somehow disable the extra features added by Apothic Attributes. It adds a bunch of things to the game; like a new inventory button that displays all these detailed player stats or a bunch of new potion recipes for example. I know that its needed for Gems 'n Jewelry but I would prefer if such dependencies didn't add any gameplay changes/features. Would it be possible to disable these features or maybe have Gems 'n Jewelry work without it?

this won't be changed on my side as there are simply not enough vanilla attributes to utilize for all the materials, and most modpacks containing gems n jewelry will likely already have Apothic Attributes. I would encourage you to take up issue with the Apothic Attributes mod itself as it does have some more invasive mechanics than a library should
