Totem Volume Reducer
by 8vy2
Totem Volume Reducer lets players lower the volume of the totem pop sound through an in-game configuration menu, without changing the totem's visuals.
What it does
Players who find the totem sound distracting in combat can turn its volume down while keeping the standard totem animation and visual feedback. The adjustment is made in the game's own settings screen, so no file editing is needed. The mod is built for players who want quieter totem sounds and nothing more.
The mod is a lightweight Fabric addition with a single purpose. It is client-side only, so only the player's game needs it and servers run without it. Installation requires Fabric Loader; the mod is published for Fabric alone, with files for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, and the latest file, 1.2.0, targets 1.21.11. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. A resource pack can be used alongside it.
Key features
Adjustable totem pop volume
The volume of the totem pop sound can be lowered independently of the rest of the game's audio.
In-game configuration menu
Settings are changed in a simple menu inside the game, with no configuration files to edit.
Visuals left unchanged
The totem's pop animation and visual feedback continue to appear as they do in vanilla.

Use cases
Combat without the loud pop
A player who fights often with totems can keep the visual cue of a saved life while reducing the sound.
Who it’s for: Players who find the totem pop sound too loud or distracting and want to keep the normal visual effect. It suits single-player and multiplayer clients alike, since only the client needs the mod.
How it compares
Music Delay Reducer is a client-side mod for a different job: it shortens the delay before music plays, and it is published for 1.20.4 – 1.21.5 under a custom license. Totem Volume Reducer targets only the totem sound and is built for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11. totemlimit runs on the server and is open source under the MIT License, so it changes server behavior rather than the client's sound.
