Totemic
by ljfa-ag
Totemic adds Totem Poles to Minecraft, where players dance around a pole and play instruments to invoke effects and passive boons.
What it does
The mod's main focus is Totem Poles and the nature and music magic around them. Players build a pole, stand near it and play instruments, and the performance can invoke strong effects. Totems also give passive boons to players nearby, and they form the central piece of the Ceremonies that More Ceremonies (Totemic) extends.
Patchouli is an optional dependency, and it is recommended because it provides the Totempedia in-game guide to the mod's content. Both the server and every player need the mod, since it runs on client and server. Builds exist for Forge and NeoForge across 8 release versions, 1.7.10 – 1.21.1, under the MIT License, and the source code is public.
Key features
Totem Poles
Totem Poles are the mod's core block, built as stacked figures that anchor its nature and music effects.
Musical instruments
Several instruments can be played while dancing around a pole, and the chosen sounds shape which effects are invoked.
Passive boons
Totems grant passive boons to players standing nearby, without any action needed beyond staying in range.
Totempedia guide
An in-game guide documents the mod's content, opened through Patchouli and covering totems, instruments and ceremonies.

Use cases
Ceremonies on a server
Server owners run ceremonies around totems for their players, and More Ceremonies (Totemic) adds further ceremonies on top of the base mod.
Who it’s for: Players who want a nature and music magic theme in survival or multiplayer worlds, and server owners who host ceremonies around totems. Both sides need the mod, and Patchouli is recommended for the in-game guide.
