+* Change: The Ring of Loki now has a (reasonably high) selection limit to prevent players from accidentally "NBT-banning" themselves from their world or server by going too hard with it
 * Remove: Config option `orechidPriorityMods` didn't have any effect since 1.16, never made it to Fabric, and is now gone in the Forge version as well; pack authors should use data pack recipes to define Orechid outputs and weights
 * Fix: Flight bar for Flügel Tiara no longer overlaps with the refilling air bubbles indicator or the mount health bar, if that uses more than one row
 * Fix: The Manaseer Monocle's flower radius indicator no longer jumps around if you are very far from the world origin, and should also not Z-fight with the binding radius indicator of luminizers anymore
