No Useless Pills

Description
                              ✅ Replaces pills that have little to no use in-game.
                                  🛠️ Compatible with Repentance Patch v1.7.9b 🛠️

=================== WHAT IS THIS? ===================
Ever use a pill, only to apply some minor, insignificant effect on your character, prolonging the time it takes for you to move into another room, pick up items, or attack enemies? Well, no more! This mod removes all pills that have negligible, temporary effects on your character, to the likes of spreading creep, messing with your accuracy or UI, or straight up doing nothing.

This mod is based on @sublimnl's No more retro vision pill mod, with the entire code taken straight from it and their full permission. Adding or removing pills from the exception list can be done by simply editing the main.lua file, with effects listed here.[wofsauge.github.io]

===================== FEATURES: =====================
If the following pills are dropped during a run, they will be immediately replaced with a different pill (either good or bad) that is not on this list:
  • Addicted!
  • Bad Gas
  • Horf!
  • I Found Pills
  • I'm Excited!!!
  • Paralysis
  • Retro Vision
  • Something's wrong...
  • Feels like I'm walking on sunshine!
  • R U a Wizard?
  • X-Lax
I have kept Lemon Party and Pheromones inside the pool despite their situational effect, as I have found characters utilizing Lucky Foot, Virgo or PHD growing way too powerful with most neutral pills gone. This is intended to balance the mod out without infringing on its effects.

Thanks for subscribing, all constructive feedback welcome!

Wish there was a mod to remove bad pills altogether.

@Invisible_Frame Power Pill does the same exact thing but better (allowing you to damage enemies in the process). Feel free to remove it from the list, though.

@Kingcaca64 (24/100) While I can admit this is not something I ever considered when making this, I cannot justify keeping these pills in the game just for a single specific, highly-situational, usually detrimental item.

I don't actually know how this would affect False PHD, however I don't see the item in 99% of my runs, and on the rare occasion that I do, I actively decide to avoid it. So, I suppose if you're an avid fan of False PHD, please don't install this mod as it will likely ruin your interactions with it.

Any pill that doesn't proc an effect when used with False PHD is considered a neutral pill by the game. Some of these pills give you a back heart when used with False PHD, which can make the item a bit worse.
