Custom Totems
by cutebow
Custom Totems changes how the popped Totem of Undying looks on screen, letting players adjust its size, position, opacity and tint.
What it does
The mod customizes the hand-held popped Totem animation. Players can turn the hand-held display on or off, set the hand-held scale and the totem scale with sliders, and move the animation with a height slider and a left/right X slider. Opacity is adjustable too, and the tint color can be picked with a YACL color picker.
An optional health-based interpolation shifts the totem color gradually between a low-health color and a high-health color, both of which can be set. The animation settings sit under a single Popped Totem Animation Settings screen. The mod runs on Fabric and is published for 1.21.5 – 1.21.11 as a client-side only mod, so players install it alone and servers do not need it.
Files exist for seven release versions: 1.21.5, 1.21.6, 1.21.7, 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11. The latest file is for 1.21.11 and was published on 2026-02-26. Custom Totems is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
