Totem Damageable
by S1xH3arts
Totem Damageable changes the Totem of Undying so that each totem carries several lives, and a totem survives multiple lethal hits instead of breaking after one.
What it does
A totem activated by a lethal hit loses one life rather than being destroyed. The final life consumes the totem as vanilla does, so the item still ends after its last use. The number of lives per totem is configurable on the server, and the default applies to newly created totems. A custom durability bar shows the remaining lives, and an actionbar message reports how many lives are left after each save.
Two totems can be combined on an anvil to create a Merged Totem with more maximum lives, but the result never exceeds the configured cap. Merging can be switched on or off with a command, and the server keeps its settings across restarts. Totems already in players' inventories are updated when players join, and inventories are repaired and synced automatically. The server must run the mod, while players may join without installing it. The mod is for Fabric only, with a single build for 1.21.11.
Key features
Multi-life totems
Each totem holds several lives, and a lethal hit spends one life instead of destroying the item.
Anvil merging
Two totems combined on an anvil produce a Merged Totem with higher maximum lives, up to the configured cap.
Lives display
The tooltip shows current and maximum lives, and a custom durability bar tracks what remains.
Server configuration
Lives per totem, the merge cap and merging on or off are set by the server, and settings persist across restarts.
Admin commands
Commands that change the settings are limited to operators of permission level 2, while singleplayer hosts always have permission.
Outdated totem updates
Totems in inventories are brought up to date when players join, and ender chest contents are handled too.

How it compares
Effect Totems is open source under the MIT License, targets Fabric for 1.21.4 and runs on client and server together. Totem Indicator is a client-side only mod for 1.21.11 and is not open source, so it adds a display rather than changing totem rules. Hover Totem is also client-side only for 1.21.11, under a custom license, and Totem Damageable does not depend on either of these to work.
