Hotbar Totems
Hotbar Totems lets Totems of Undying take effect when they sit in a hotbar slot, not only in the off-hand.
What it does
When a player would die, a Totem of Undying in the hotbar is used to prevent the death, so the totem no longer has to be held in a hand. Items in the inventory are not counted, and a totem stored inside a bundle or shulker box does not work. The mod is server-side only and is released under the MIT License as open source, with Fabric as the only loader and files for 1.20 – 26.2.
Key features
Hotbar totem activation
A Totem of Undying in any hotbar slot prevents a fatal hit, with no need to hold it in a hand.
Hand slots still work
The totem keeps working when it is in the main or off hand, so existing play styles are unchanged.
Storage limits
Totems inside a bundle, shulker box or any other container in the inventory stay inactive.

What the author says
Some may find that having to hold the totem to make use of it cumbersome, as it uses a hand slot. Now it works even when the totem isn't in the hand, but in the hotbar!
