TotemWarner
by R077A6r1an
TotemWarner gives a Fabric client a persistent warning whenever no Totem of Undying is held in the offhand slot, and escalates that warning as the supply runs down.
What it does
After a player has held their first totem in a session, TotemWarner tracks two conditions: whether one sits in the offhand slot, and whether any remain in the inventory at all. Until that first pickup the mod stays silent, so it does not nag players who never use totems. When the offhand is left empty, an amber nudge appears, and when no totems are left at all, a red urgent alert takes its place. Putting a totem back in the offhand returns the screen to quiet.
The mod is a client-side reminder that a player installs alone, and it changes nothing on the server, so it runs on single-player and multiplayer clients alike. It is built for Fabric and requires Fabric Loader and Fabric API. The source code is public, and the code is under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which is open source. Files exist for 1.21.11, 26.1.2 and 26.2, with 1.0.0 for 26.2 as the latest build, published on 2026-09-23.
Key features
Offhand totem warning
An amber indicator appears when the offhand slot is empty while the player still has totems to use.
Out-of-totems alert
A red alert with a repeating tone and a screen-edge pulse signals that no totems remain in the inventory.
Escalating urgency
The warning grows redder, louder and faster the longer the offhand stays empty, so it is hard to miss while fighting.
Silent until first totem
The reminder stays off until the player picks up a first totem during the session.
