Custom Totems
by tchongass1
Custom Totems changes the totem of undying that players hold, adding extra 3D totem models and themed variants that a server can hand out.
What it does
The mod adds several extra totem designs, including a Steve-themed cross, a shark-themed undying totem and an Uno Reverse Card totem, each with its own 3D model. Their effect in play follows the undying totem they replace, so a player who would have been saved still is. The totems are cosmetic in the sense that they change how an item looks, which the author notes make it suited to adding a little more fun on servers and in singleplayer worlds.
The server must run the mod to hand out the new totems, while players may leave it out and still see the standard totem. Builds exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, plus a Data pack, across 9 release versions 1.21 – 26.1.2, and the code is released under the MIT License as open source.

Use cases
Server reward items
Server owners can use the custom totems as themed drops or rewards, since the mod runs on the server.
Singleplayer variety
In a singleplayer world the mod gives the undying totem several alternative looks to pick from.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want themed totems on a multiplayer server, and singleplayer players who want variety in how the undying totem looks.
How it compares
Always totem and Totem Of Undying Infinity both run on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21 – 26.2, are server required with client optional, and are under All rights reserved, so neither is open source. Craft the Totem of Undying runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 26.3 and is client and server, so both sides need it. UsedTotemMessage is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is server-side only, so players need nothing installed.
