Undertaker's Totems

by undertaker_j

Undertaker's Totems is a Forge landclaim mod in which players claim land with totems, and blocks placed outside a claim break after a set time.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.19.2 – 1.20.1

What it does

Instead of claiming whole chunks, the mod restricts building only on claimed sections, which protects against griefing while leaving unclaimed land open. Anything placed outside a claim breaks after a configurable period, with torches, saplings and seeds as the exceptions. Two kinds of totem exist: Minor Totems, crafted from sticks and flint, claim a small area for five minutes, and the upgradeable Totemic Totems make changes permanent. Minor Totems can be placed within 48 blocks of a monster spawner inside their boundaries, while a totem limited to furnaces, crafting tables and campfires allows only those blocks within it.

The attribute system decides how many totems a player may place. By default a player places one upgradeable totem and two temporary totems, and integration with other mods can change that. Modpack developers can allow an unlimited number of claims, which suits a controlled modpack, and a configuration file lets them change what is removed or kept inside a claim. The mod runs on Forge and is built for survival horror modpacks, where the rules make tunnels around spawners and rooms that stop mobs harder to exploit. Another player's totem cannot be built over.

Key features

  1. Landclaim sections

    Building is restricted only inside claimed sections, so unclaimed land stays open to every player.

  2. Timed breakage

    Blocks placed outside a claim break after a configurable period, with torches, saplings and seeds exempt.

  3. Two totem types

    Minor Totems claim a small area for five minutes, while upgradeable Totemic Totems make changes permanent.

  4. Attribute-based totem limits

    Attributes set how many totems each player may place, and modpack developers can allow unlimited claims.
