Totem Balancer
by ReaZip
Totem Balancer limits how often a Totem of Undying can be used and how many a player may carry, with settings that server owners can change while the server runs.
What it does
Totem Balancer is a server-side Fabric mod that adds a cooldown between uses of the Totem of Undying and a cap on how many totems a player can carry. Its stated purpose is to reduce overuse of the item in combat. When a player's cooldown is active or the carry limit is reached, the mod sends a clear in-game notification explaining why the totem cannot be used.
Both values can be set globally for every player or for a single player. Server owners can change them through the config file or with commands at runtime, and commands can also remove a custom cooldown or carry limit given to one player. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker publicly linked. Files cover 1.21 – 1.21.8, and the latest build is 1.2.0 for 1.21.8, published on 2025-07-31.
