Totem Sword
by rolnik_bel
Totem Sword is a Fabric equipment mod that adds a heavy greatsword which can be infused with a Totem of Undying during crafting.
What it does
The blade is built for slow, forceful strikes. It has a long attack reach that lets a player hit enemies farther away than a standard sword, and it deals high damage on each hit, but its heavy cooldown means timing matters. Holding it slows movement, and knockback taken from mob attacks and explosions is reduced while it is held.
During crafting the blade takes in a Totem of Undying. While the infused sword is held, a lethal hit triggers the totem automatically, which saves the player's life and grants the standard Totem status effects. Once used, the totem shatters and the weapon turns into a depleted variant with slightly reduced reach, a slightly smaller movement penalty and less knockback resistance. Re-infusing the totem and restoring the depleted blade to full power is handled at a Smithing Table.
Totem Sword is published for Fabric only, for game version 26.1.2, and the Fabric API is not listed as a requirement. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
