Universal Totem

by SlimeeyYt

Universal Totem lets a held item save the player from fatal damage in the same way a Totem of Undying does, without needing the rare totem item in hand.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1 – 1.21.11

What it does

Holding the item in either hand lets it activate when the player would otherwise die, applying the same revival effects as a Totem of Undying. The mod is client-side only, so servers do not need it, and it requires Fabric API. Files exist for Fabric only, covering 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 across 11 release versions, released under the MIT License and open source.

Key features

  1. Held item revival

    A held item activates on fatal damage and prevents death, the way a Totem of Undying does.

  2. Same revival effects

    Revival applies the same effects a Totem of Undying gives, so the outcome matches the vanilla item.

  3. Last chance survival

    The item becomes a final safeguard against death, without requiring a rare totem in the hand.

Universal Totem is a lightweight Fabric mod that gives every item in Minecraft the power to save your life. If you receive fatal damage while holding an item, that item will activate like a Totem of Undying, preventing death and applying the same revival effects.
