so i just go the mod and ran into 3 problems but fixed 2

1. essence wouldn't drop but researched need for fishing rod thing
2. couldn't make cages but fixed it in config
3. the last one i can't fix. i can't craft any of the essences to make amalgamates or amalgamates to spirits. this may be because it doesn't work creative mode (wanted to set it first), but i would switch into survival and it still wouldn't work. the adding of spirits to the cages would work and create a proper spawner

if you anyone has a fix, that would be nice.

Sorry for taking a while to respond. I've been busy.

What version are you using (of Forge, and of this mod)? Crafting works on my end: 2x2 essences or 2x2 agglomerations.
