TotemFlash
by Zyric99
TotemFlash changes how the totem of undying looks while it flashes in the offhand, and it only starts that flashing once the inventory opens.
What it does
The mod adds a customizable totem flashing animation that plays only while the inventory is open. Many texture packs make the totem flash constantly in the offhand, which TotemFlash avoids by starting the animation when the inventory opens and returning to the normal texture at rest. Players choose the color of the flash and which animation frame the totem starts from, set a delay for each frame, and adjust the values to control the speed of the animation.
The configurable settings menu is reached through Mod Menu, which is required, and Cloth Config API is required as well; both must be installed alongside TotemFlash. The mod is client-side only, so only the client needs it, and servers run without it. Files are published for Fabric only, for game versions 1.21.11 – 26.2, under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source. Other mods that change the totem can interfere with it and cause some bugs.
Key features
Inventory-only flashing
The totem flashes only after the inventory is opened, so it stays still during normal play.
Frame and color options
Players pick the flash color and the animation frame the totem starts opening from.
Per-frame delay
Each animation frame has its own delay, and the values set how fast the totem animation feels.
Settings through Mod Menu
Every option is changed in a configuration menu opened from Mod Menu, without editing files by hand.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who use Fabric and want control over how the totem of undying animates. It is a client mod, so players install it on their own game and servers do not need it.

What the author says
I found it annoying that in many texture packs, the totem constantly flashes while it's in your offhand. This client-side mod changes that behavior: the totem only starts flashing when you open your inventory. The rest of the time, it uses the normal texture. The mod includes a configurable settings menu accessible…
