Totem Pop Effects
by uOrb
Totem Pop Effects, a Fabric mod by uOrb, changes how a totem pop looks and sounds on the player's own screen.
What it does
Totem Pop Effects is a clientside mod: it changes only what the player sees and hears when a Totem of Undying is used. Required dependency: Fabric API. Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are optional and add a settings screen. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.21.11.
The effects are set in the configuration. A player can pick a registered Minecraft particle, enable a lightning bolt or a firework explosion, and choose pop sounds with an adjustable duration. An actionbar message can be customized, and an actionbar counter tracks how many totem pops have happened.
Because the mod runs on the client alone, the server does not need it and players on a server that lacks it still see the normal totem animation. The code is MIT licensed, but the project is not open source. The current file is 1.0.0 for 1.21.11, released 2026-08-21.
Key features
Configurable pop effects
Each totem pop can have its own particle, lightning bolt or firework explosion, set through the configuration.
Adjustable pop sounds
Pop sounds can be replaced, and their duration is adjustable so the sound fits the length of the effect.
Actionbar messages
A customizable message appears in the actionbar when a totem is used, and a counter keeps a running total of pops.
Registered particles
Any particle type registered in Minecraft can be selected as the visual effect for a totem pop.

How it compares
Totem Particles is a clientside Fabric mod under the MIT License, published for 1.20.5 – 26.3, and it changes only the particle. Totem Plus is also clientside on Fabric for 1.21 – 26.2, under All rights reserved. Prism Totem Counter covers 1.21 – 1.21.11 and is also clientside with the MIT License, but it focuses on the counter rather than effects. Totem Pop Effects offers the widest set of effect types of these options.
