Version 1.8.9 brings fixes and quality-of-life improvements!

Bug Fixes
NPCs:
- Mort's Wandering Merchant now loads correctly and its Bugmen and Fogmen appear as intended
- Reduced friendly fire damage between elite NPCs so they fight each other less often (they may still attack after accidental hits)
Items & Crafting:
- Crafting recipe for the Red Wall Torch restored to the working version
- Parchment item fixed so interactions and sounds work correctly
- Asset problems affecting the Red Wall Torch and Parchment have been resolved so they appear and behave properly
Loot:
- Mobs will now always drop their vanilla loot correctly, even in cases that previously prevented those drops

Gameplay
Comet Raids:
- Most comet raid themes now spawn naturally without needing manual start
- Reward chests are placed more reliably in front of portals/coffins to avoid overlap, and you cannot retrigger a wave while its reward chest still exists

User Interface
Nameplates:
- Nameplates now display built-in info like health and names correctly for NPCs and players
- Vanilla NPCs now reliably get nameplates regardless of entity type

Comet raid natural spawning is now enabled for most themes; keep an eye out as we continue to tune it.

Thanks to NitradoAndre, metrakit, Frotty277, and Project42 for the improvements!
