Simple AutoTotem
by MVPFishstock
Simple AutoTotem keeps a Totem of Undying in the offhand slot, so one is ready after a player's totem is consumed.
What it does
The mod watches the inventory and moves a Totem of Undying into the offhand slot whenever that slot is free. It only fills an empty offhand and skips items that are shields or totems, so a shield held in the offhand is left alone. Once a totem is used, the replacement is equipped without a noticeable delay. Its toggle state is saved between sessions, so a player who turns it off stays off after a restart.
The mod requires Fabric API and runs on Fabric. Only the client must run it, while a server may run it as well, for example to keep multiplayer sessions in sync. It works in multiplayer, and the files are released under the MIT License. The code is not open source, so the source is not published under the license terms. Files cover 1.21.1, 1.21.2, 1.21.3 and 1.21.4, with 1.0 for 1.21.4 as the latest build.
Key features
Automatic totem equipping
A Totem of Undying is placed in the offhand slot as soon as the slot is empty and a totem is in the inventory.
Conditional offhand filling
The offhand is only filled when it holds no item, and shields and totems already there are not replaced.
Saved toggle
The on or off state of the feature persists between game sessions.
Immediate replacement
After a totem is used, the next one is moved into the offhand with no noticeable pause.

Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want an offhand totem kept in place automatically during survival and multiplayer sessions.
How it compares
Advanced Autototem is client-side only, under All rights reserved, and targets 1.21.1 – 1.21.10 on Fabric. Simple AutoTotem reaches the same offhand task on 1.21.1 – 1.21.4, and it is released under the MIT License. TotemSwapper is also client-side only and MIT-licensed, but its files cover only 1.21.1, so it matches this mod's range just at that version.
