Shift Totem
by busindos
Shift Totem lets a player move a Totem of Undying into the off-hand by holding Shift and left-clicking it in the inventory.
What it does
The mod changes how Totems of Undying are placed in the inventory. Holding Shift while left-clicking a totem sends it to the left hand, so a player does not have to drag it there by hand during a fight. The author describes the goal as keeping a player alive in intense battles with less manual inventory work, and as a lightweight utility that leaves gameplay otherwise unchanged.
Shift Totem is built for the Java Edition client and runs on Fabric, with files for seven release versions and 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest build. It is a client-side mod, so only the player's game needs it, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. The author has said a Bedrock Edition port is planned, and that anyone who wants to port the mod themselves must follow the license terms.
