Totem Doll
by RethinkQAQ
With Totem Doll installed, the Totem of Undying can appear as a doll chosen from built-in styles, and its survival effect is unchanged.
What it does
Totem Doll swaps the appearance of the Totem of Undying for a doll model. Built-in styles include Alex, Steve and other Minecraft-style templates, and each one can use custom skins, dynamic textures such as blinking, and bone-based models with animations. The doll plays an idle animation while held, and some styles play a special animation when the totem activates. Rendering covers the first person and third person views, the inventory, dropped items and item frames.
Players can build a personal style from a 64×64 Minecraft skin PNG, give it a name and keep it on disk. Saved styles stay available after the game restarts, and a ZIP style-pack import adds further templates. Totem Doll runs on Fabric and NeoForge, requires Fabric API on Fabric, and is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so the code is open source.
