I killed a mob, saw something ethereal flying at me, and the server crashed. Now, upon joining, the server crashes every time.

The first time it crashed, when I tried to read through the logs, it seemed like ItShallNotTick was not playing nice with it, so we tried removing that. It still crashes unfortunately.

Make sure both lodestone and malum are both the latest version

Yes, this is the custom pack I created after being told that last time- I updated both to the newest versions I could find on curseforge for 1.18.2.

Sorry for the delayed response again, for some reason I'm not getting emails for notifications ugh

I'm sorry if I like, replied with the same exact "do this" kinda response already to you. To my knowledge the latest version of malum works with the latest version of create for 1.18.2, evidenced by the fact that I am currently running them both simultaneously just fine

Oh no no, that's fine, I'm sure you get tons of issue threads from people who don't have updated versions installed (like me, the first time I was here, assuming my launcher has installed newest versions.)
Were you able to see anything in the logs? What might Malum not be playing nice with? The only thing that stopped crashing the server was deleting my player profile. Whatever happened like, attached itself to my player. Even being tp'd far from the chunk it happened it didn't make the issue stop.
The pack has a lot of mods 😅

Oh yeah I got this issue mixed up with another one, looking at the log again it's a completely different issue.

The crash happens when the player picks up a spirit, because apparently a helper method in Lodestone doesn't exist.

Is this something you'll be able to fix on your end? Are spirits just a random drop entity from killing a mob?

Well I can't really replicate this crash at all.
