Quacky's Better Totem
Quacky's Better Totem changes how the Totem of Undying looks and sounds when it pops, with settings for sounds, particles and the HUD.
What it does
Players can import their own sound files in the OGG format and set the volume and pitch of each sound per profile. Particle colors can be chosen separately for the player and for teammates or other players, using their own palettes. The HUD pop effect can be scaled, spun and given a different particle density, so the effect can be tuned to match the rest of the interface.
Several profiles can be kept at once, and a profile can be renamed or duplicated, then cycled through during play. A preview button labelled Test Totem Pop runs the whole activation sequence, and the totem held in the inventory is left untouched, which lets a configuration be checked before a fight. All options live in a Mod Menu configuration screen, and the customization covers only the Totem of Undying pop, with no change to gameplay.
The mod is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11, with the 1.0.0 file dated 2026-05-30. It requires Mod Menu and runs on the client alone, so players join servers without installing anything. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want a more personal totem pop on their own client. The mod does not change what the totem does, so it suits players who care about appearance and feedback rather than balance.
How it compares
AutoTotemPlus is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.11 under the Apache License 2.0, and it is not open source; it automates totem use instead of changing its look. Superstitious Totem is a Fabric mod for 1.21.10 – 1.21.11 with the Client and server environment, so both sides need it. TotemFlash is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.21.11 – 26.2 under the MIT License, covering the totem visual over a wider version range.
