Better Auto Totem

by Zerw

Better Auto Totem keeps a Totem of Undying in the off-hand so a fatal hit can be prevented without opening the inventory.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient-side onlyMIT License1.19.2 – 26.3

What it does

The mod places a Totem of Undying into the off-hand automatically whenever the player does not already have one equipped, and it activates the totem when a fatal hit would otherwise end the player's life. It is a lightweight client-side mod, so only the player's game needs it, and it is released under the MIT License without being open source. Installing it on Fabric, Forge or NeoForge covers game versions 1.19.2 – 26.3.

Key features

  1. Automatic off-hand totem

    A Totem of Undying is moved to the off-hand on its own whenever one is kept in the inventory.

  2. Fatal damage protection

    The totem is used to save the player from a fatal hit, so the player stays alive without manual action.

  3. No inventory management

    Totems stay ready in the inventory, and the player does not need to open a screen to rearrange them.
