Essentially, Malum crashes the game if JEI isn't present because "Caused by 0: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: mezz/jei/api/ingredients/IIngredientType"... This can be pretty bad since some players might not be using JEI or using REI instead.

Yes, and argh. Sorry. I forgot to put [1.18.2] in the name.

Is this a 1.18.2 issue?

Can you send me the full log?

I have this issue aswell when I tried to switch from jei to rei. Did you ever find a fix?
