I think a nice feature to have to add versatility of use to the mod is to add a config option to keep only the [gated item] module of this mod as it adds a way to gatekeep items in various modpacks without interfering further with progression (such as, if I want to gate a sword behind 32 STR because it hits crazy hard, having +16 STR on top of the attack modifier is counterproductive). The same could be said of built-in passive skills such as permanent night vision, as they may make other items redundant (take for example the night goggles from Relics/Artifacts).

As far as I know, and as far as I've been able to look into, there isn't really a way to do this cleanly, and it really pains me because for the usage I need it's perfect as a system but it also interferes a lot because of its built-in added value.
