Add option to Pacify Five Pebbles
I think this mod needs to add the option to pacify Five pebbles (or at least remove his attack ability) so he can't kill you when idling too long since best case it makes the games harder to access, worst case it makes them almost completely inaccessible (Spearmaster).

Could be added as an option in the mod config menu so it could be toggled on and off since having Five Pebbles not being hostile could be seen as a significant Gameplay change/disruption.

Hey, I like your idea. But I also like Pebbles as a character and, especially with Spearmaster, he's very mad. Playing pong doesn't really fit.

Secondly, I developed this mod with low impact high compatibility in mind. Most of the mods code doesn't even run if you don't pick up the controller, so drop it and you can continue with the game. Changing Pebbles' behaviour to not kill the player after conversation might break the mod for future mods/campaigns.

I don't think accessibility is a problem, with MSC at least. If I may give some tips, with Artificer he behaves differently, and maybe someone else likes playing pong with spearmaster ;)

I might add it as a config option in the future, but currently I don't have much time because of work. Thanks for the suggestion!

That makes sense playing, pong with pebbles doesn't make sense for spearmaster (maybe make it say if he tries to something about not playing games with you).
Although with Monk or survivor it could also be beneficial (since he's not fond of them either).

I wasn't aware of how the mod actually worked and that it didn't run much code unless the controller was picked up, I thought it ran in the background like a lot of other mods.

I recommend looking into BepInEx hook mods. Modding can be very addicting once you get the hang of it. https://rainworld.miraheze.org/wiki/Modding The pong mod has a build.md file with setup instructions if you're interested. Also join the (modding) discord for support and sharing ideas!
