Totem Flight
by v_modding
While a Totem of Undying sits in the off-hand, Totem Flight gives the player the ability to fly, and animated particles trail behind during the flight.
What it does
Flight is enabled only while a Totem of Undying is held in the off-hand, so the item acts as the switch for the ability. The effects are drawn on the client: directional flight particles, a third-person aura and clean white-gray trails. Commands are required for the mod to work, and the author describes the server logic as lightweight and compatible with server-side setups.
Totem Flight is published for Fabric only, across two game versions, 1.21.5 and 1.21.8, with 1.1.0 for 1.21.8 as the latest file. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.
Key features
Flight with the totem off-hand
Holding a Totem of Undying in the off-hand enables flight, and the ability stops when the item is removed.
Animated flight particles
Modern animated particle effects appear while the player flies, with directional effects that follow the movement.
Third-person aura
An animated aura is visible around the player in third-person view, so other views show the flight state.
Lightweight server logic
The server side is kept light, and the visual effects are handled on the client.

How it compares
TotemSwapper is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1, client-side only and released under the MIT License, so it runs on a client alone. SG Totem is also a Fabric mod under the MIT License, open source and published for 1.21.4 – 1.21.8, with a client and server environment. Add Craftable Totems runs on Fabric for 1.21.8 – 1.21.11 with a server-side only environment under All rights reserved. Totem Flight differs by adding flight tied to the off-hand totem, and it needs both sides.
