[INCOMPATIBILITY] v0.2.0+beta.3.73 and higher completely breaks Pehkui

[Tempest-5ky]

Describe the bug
As of its v0.2.0+beta.3.73 1.18.2 release, VMP completely breaks Pehkui (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/pehkui). Neither generate any log errors, but when loaded together, Pehkui cannot modify the scales of players (and presumably any entity, though i'll admit I didn't think to test that).
The /scale command will execute, and using "/scale get" will indicate that the scale has been modified, but it obviously hasn't, as the jump height, entity scale, reach, or any other scale type will not change. Downgrading VMP to v0.2.0+beta.3.69 or lower gets rid of the issue.

This bug also affects any mod that relies on Pehkui for its entity scaling, such as Origins and CPM.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Load v0.2.0+beta.3.73 or higher of VMP alongside Pehkui
2. Try to modify any scale using /scale

Expected behavior
The two mods working normally alongside each other
