Custom Totem Particles
Custom Totem Particles changes the particles that play when a totem of undying is used, letting each player pick a different effect and emitter setup.
What it does
Custom Totem Particles replaces the default totem particle with another kind, such as criticals, and lets a player choose how many particles appear when a totem pops. Options cover the global toggle that turns the mod off completely, whether a player's own totem particles are shown to that player, and the size of the effect. The emitter settings control where particles come from: a lifetime, which sets how long it keeps emitting (the game default is 30 ticks), and a vertical offset that raises or lowers it. An option can make the emitter follow the player as they move.
Version 2.9 added gradients and a number of smaller improvements. The mod is described by its author as mostly complete, which should make later ports to new game versions faster. Files are published for Fabric only, across 22 release versions 1.18.2 – 26.3, with 2.94 for 26.3 as the latest Fabric file. The mod needs YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) to be installed alongside it, and that library provides the configuration screen. Less common versions such as 1.20.6 are not built by default and must be requested from the author.

How it compares
Ambient Particles is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.20 – 1.21.8 under All rights reserved, so its code is not open source. Sandstorm is a server-side Fabric mod for 1.21 – 26.3 released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, which makes it open source. Totem Party Popper needs the client but not the server, covers 1.19.3 – 26.3 and uses a custom license that is not open source.
