Press Button - Get Life
by mijgui
Press Button - Get Life is a Fabric client mod that moves a totem of undying from the inventory into the off-hand with one key press.
What it does
Press Button - Get Life binds a key that moves a totem of undying straight to the off-hand slot. A player who has already been hit during a fight can press the key and have the totem in place without opening the inventory. The mod is aimed at the moment a totem breaks mid-fight, when finding and swapping a new one by hand takes time, especially when the spare totem is stored deep in a chest.
The move happens within a few milliseconds, and the totem appears in the off-hand instead of the main hand, so it is ready before the next hit. The author describes the key as working from anywhere, without needing the inventory screen to be open. The mod also shows how many totems remain in the inventory.
The mod requires Fabric API. It is client-side only, so the server does not need it and players can join a server without installing it. The files target 1.20.1 under the All rights reserved license, and the source code is public, though the project is not open source.
Key features
One-key totem swap
A bound key moves a totem of undying into the off-hand slot in a single press.
Works outside the inventory
The swap runs from the game screen, so the inventory does not need to be opened during a fight.
Remaining totem count
The number of totems left in the inventory is displayed.
Off-hand placement
The totem is put in the off-hand rather than the main hand, so the player can keep holding a weapon.

Use cases
Mid-fight restock
A totem breaks during a boss or a fight in a cave, and the player needs another one in the off-hand before the next hit.
Who it’s for: Players who fight in survival, adventure or hardcore-style play and carry totems of undying, and who want a faster way to replace a broken one.
How it compares
Auto Use Totem is an open source Fabric client mod under the MIT License, published for 1.21 – 1.21.11, and it is client-side only. Totem Overhall is not open source, uses the All rights reserved license, covers 1.21.10 – 26.2, and is optional on the client or server side. Press Button - Get Life targets 1.20.1 only and is client-side only, so it does not cover the newer versions these two alternatives support.

This mod can save your life, and here's how: 1. During a fight, your totem gets "broken." 2. You need to grab a new one, but doing that takes a lot of time (especially if it's buried somewhere deep in your inventory), and by then, you might already be dead. So, what does our mod do? - You press a key that you've…
