Totem of Unlosing Mod
by Ochibo
Totem of Unlosing Mod lets a dying player keep their inventory by carrying a totem that stores the items until they are opened again.
What it does
The mod adds a keep-inventory mechanic built around a totem, so the balance of a survival run is changed as little as possible. A player who dies while holding a fresh Totem of Unlosing has the items in their inventory preserved. Once the totem has protected them, right-clicking while holding it opens the stored items, which are then placed back in the inventory as they were at the moment of death instead of being scattered around the place of death.
The totem can hold up to 60 slots' worth of items. Anything beyond that limit is dropped on death as normal. If a player dies again while already holding a filled totem, the new totem activates and the old one opens its contents automatically, so the earlier save is returned before the new one is stored. Totems of this kind are rare loot, found in Ancient City chests and occasionally dropped by Evokers in place of a Totem of Undying.
Totem of Unlosing Mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1, 1.21, 1.21.1, 1.21.2, 1.21.3 and 1.21.4. The code is open source under the MIT License.
