Totem Reminder
by manlydev0
Totem Reminder warns a player on the actionbar when no Totem of Undying is held in the offhand, so a forgotten totem does not end a run.
What it does
Leaving the offhand empty of a totem is one of the costliest slips in survival play, and the mod is built to catch it. When the offhand holds no totem, a warning appears above the hotbar, with a sound and a text that can be set. Players can pick the alert sound, the warning text color, how long the text stays on screen, how often it repeats, and the alert volume.
Totem Reminder is a client-side mod for Fabric, so a server does not need it and players can join a server without installing it. It requires Fabric API. Files exist for Minecraft 1.21 – 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest build. The mod ships translations in several languages and is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.

How it compares
TotemRefill is a Fabric mod that also works on the client alone, released under the MIT License and published for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11; it refills the offhand rather than only warning about it. Jamie's Totem Switcher is also client-side only and Fabric-only, but it is for 1.21.11 alone and uses a Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives 4.0 license. Totem Sounds, for 1.21.11 only, is client-side only and is licensed as All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
