About this project

What does Totem Guardian add?

Better Totem upgrades the Totem of Undying with an intelligent survival system that detects how you are dying and applies specific effects to save you. It can grant fire resistance, water breathing, regeneration, resistance, speed, and even automatically rescue you from the void with safe teleportation.
The mod also includes hostile mob knockback, automatic destruction of dangerous falling blocks like gravel or anvils, and support for using totems directly from the inventory. Everything is configurable through a JSON config file. The main goal is to prevent unfair Hardcore deaths without breaking the vanilla experience.
