Totems of Power
by joshuafez
Totems of Power adds more than 20 equippable totems for Forge on Minecraft 1.20.1, each granting a passive or active effect while worn.
What it does
Totems are worn in a new Curios slot that holds up to four at a time, and the slot does not conflict with other Curios slots. Basic totems such as Totem Perpetual Motion raise movement speed and cover effects like elytra flight and falling while swimming. More advanced totems, including Totem Cooling, cool nearby lava, which makes nether exploration easier. Combat-oriented combinations are also available for specific fights.
The mod is client and server, meaning the server and every player must run it. It is published for Forge only, with 1.0.3 as the latest file for 1.20.1, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

How it compares
Create: Simple Totem is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that runs on the client alone, and it carries All rights reserved, so servers can run without it. Totems: Reforged is client and server, also All rights reserved, and covers a similar totem theme for 1.20.1. Affordable Totems and Nerfed Totems are client and server mods for 1.20.1 with All rights reserved and a custom Creative Commons license respectively, so their licenses differ from this mod's.

This is a mod that adds a bunch of equippable totems for me and my friends/family. If you do use this know that its kinda buggy and I add random stuff i wish was in Minecraft for my pleaseure. This mod uses Curious, Pehkui (heavily) and palladium for the totems.
