Totem Clean
by CardeJIbka
TotemClean is a client-side Fabric and Forge mod that removes the particles from the totem of undying activation animation while leaving its sound in place.
What it does
When a player survives a lethal hit with a totem of undying, vanilla Minecraft shows a full-screen flash and a burst of green and yellow particles around the player for several seconds. TotemClean removes the particles that the player's own totem produces, so the sound still plays but the crowded visual effect does not appear on the screen of the person holding the totem. Particles from other players' totems stay visible to everyone nearby, so a nearby player can still tell that someone's totem activated.
The mod is a client-side only change: only the client needs it, and servers run without it. Players can install it in single-player or on a multiplayer client, and the rest of the game is not altered. TotemClean is released under the MIT License, with its source code and issue tracker publicly available. Files are published for Fabric and Forge across 27 release versions, 1.19.2 – 26.3, with 1.0.0 as the latest build for each loader.
Key features
Own particles removed
The green and yellow particles around the player's own totem are not drawn when the totem activates.
Activation sound kept
The totem activation sound still plays, so the player still hears that the totem was used.
Other players' particles unchanged
Totem particles from other players remain visible, so nearby players still see when a totem pops.
Lightweight client change
The mod changes only the activation animation on the client, and it does not alter potion effects granted by the totem.
