Totem Reminder
by Zirak
When a player holds a Totem of Undying in neither hand, Totem Reminder can flash a warning across the screen so the missing totem is noticed in time.
What it does
Totem Reminder is a Fabric utility that draws a warning on screen while a Totem of Undying is not held in the main hand or the offhand. The warning is a pulsing border around the screen, and an optional animated notification can appear in the top-right corner. The warning stays active until a totem is equipped again, so it does not fade after a few seconds.
The mod runs on the client only, so servers and other players do not need it. It is aimed at PvP, Hardcore and survival play, where losing a totem can end a run. Settings are reachable through Mod Menu, which is an optional dependency, so the mod works without it while its options stay at their defaults.
Totem Reminder has built-in color and size options for the border, and the pulse speed can be adjusted. Warnings can be turned off for Creative and Spectator mode. Files are published for Fabric only, with 1.2+1.21.10 for 1.21.10 as the latest build, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
