Totem Limiter

The Totem Limiter mod is a server-side Fabric mod that restricts how many totems of undying a player can hold. The default maximum is 2 per player, and the limit can be changed in the configuration. When a player tries to pick up a totem that would go over the limit, the mod drops the surplus totem automatically in the background, so the pickup is refused without any manual step. Totems already dropped on the ground or added to an inventory by a chest are handled the same way, so the limit applies right away.

Only the server needs the mod, so players join with a standard Minecraft client and nothing extra is installed on their side. Players who are notified of a refused pickup see a chat message explaining that they cannot carry more totems. The mod is intended for server administrators who want to keep the balance of competitive PvP and hardcore survival communities, and it runs on dedicated servers. Fabric Loader and Fabric API must be installed on the server, and the server must be restarted after adding the mod.
