Totem Particles Color Changer
With Totem Particles Color Changer, the particles shown when a totem of undying activates can be recolored to a single RGB color or a two-color pair set in a config file.
What it does
The mod changes the color of the particles that appear when a totem of undying is used. Texture packs often recolor these particles to yellow and green, and a texture pack overlay can still hide the mod's changes, which then show no yellow or green. Colors are set as RGB values in a config file, which sits in the config folder under the .minecraft directory. Once the values are saved, the new colors apply to every totem activation.
Two modes are available. With doubleColor set to false, one color is used and only the red1, green1 and blue1 values are read. With doubleColor set to true, a second color is added through red2, green2 and blue2, so the particles blend between two colors. The mod is a Fabric mod for 1.16.5 – 1.21.11, with files for 30 release versions, and it is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. The code is open source and the source repository and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Single-color particles
Set doubleColor to false and enter one RGB value to tint every totem particle with that color.
Two-color particles
Set doubleColor to true and add a second RGB value so the particles use two colors together.
Config file settings
All color values are stored in a config file in the .minecraft config folder and are edited by hand.
Works with texture packs
The recolor applies on top of texture pack particles, which lets the chosen colors appear instead of the pack's yellow and green.

What the author says
Usually if you try to change color of totem particles using a texture pack, the yellow and green colors will still overlay on top of the texture pack colors, but this mod changes the particle colors without the yellow/green overlay.
