Auto Totem
by Mr_Lan123
Auto Totem is a Fabric client mod that moves a Totem of Undying into the offhand slot so a player does not have to search the inventory during a fight.
What it does
When the offhand is empty, the mod grabs a totem from the inventory and places it there, either right after a totem pops or as soon as the slot is free. A delay in ticks can be set, with 20 ticks equal to one second, so swaps do not happen instantly. An option moves the totem right after the first hit instead of waiting for a health threshold. The mod is toggled on and off with a hotkey, which defaults to O on 26.2 and above and J on earlier builds, and its settings screen opens with B through Mod Menu.
Auto Totem depends on Fabric API and is released under the MIT License; it is not open source. Because only the player's client runs it, a server does not need any installation for this mod. Files cover 1.21.1 – 26.3 across 16 release versions, and the latest Fabric file, 2.1.0, targets 1.21.11.
Key features
Automatic offhand totem
The mod keeps a Totem Undying in the offhand slot and refills it from the hotbar or inventory when it is empty.
Adjustable swap delay
The delay before a replacement totem is moved can be set in ticks, from instant to a longer pause.
Totem usage HUD
A statistics HUD and a totem usage notification show how many totems were used, with both displays movable, resizable and adjustable in transparency.
Custom pop sound
The default totem sound can be replaced by an imported WAV, AIFF or AU file up to 30 seconds long, with a volume slider and the vanilla sound muted.
Rebindable controls
The toggle, the settings screen and the other actions are listed under Options Controls as Auto Totem bindings, and can be rebound.

How it compares
TotemSwapper is client-side only and under the MIT License, published for 1.21.1 alone, so it does not cover later builds. Reusable Totem of Undying runs on client and server, is not open source and is published for 1.21 – 26.3, so the server must run it too. Totem Utils is client-side only, open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and covers 1.21 – 26.2.

When your offhand is empty (say, right after a totem pops), the mod grabs another totem from your inventory or hotbar and swaps it in. By default…
