Nerfed Totems
Nerfed Totems changes how the Totem of Undying behaves, adding a cooldown between uses on Forge for 1.20.1.
What it does
Nerfed Totems makes the Totem of Undying less strong by imposing a cooldown after each use. Once a totem has saved a player from death, it cannot be used again for 30 seconds, so a player who picks it back up from the inventory has to wait out the timer before it works again. Players who rely on totems as a safety net still have one, but less often. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is published for Forge only, with a single game version, 1.20.1, and the latest file is 1.0 for 1.20.1, dated 2024-03-11. The code is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0, so it is not open source.
Key features
Totem cooldown
After a Totem of Undying is used, it stays inactive for 30 seconds before it can save the holder again.
Inventory wait
A totem returned to the inventory after use still needs the full cooldown to pass before it activates.
Totem reliance
Players who keep a totem in reserve remain protected, but cannot count on repeated saves in quick succession.

What the author says
When you use a Totem of Undying, any Totems of Undying that you either pick up or have in your inventory go on cooldown, and you have to wait 30 seconds before you can use one again. With this mod, Players will now be less reliant on Totems of Undying, but they can still use them in a pinch.
