About this Mod
Better Totem Counter
A lightweight client-side Fabric mod for keeping track of Totems of Undying — yours and everyone else's. Built for PvP.
Features
- Hotbar totem count — shows how many Totems of Undying you're carrying (inventory + offhand) just above your hotbar, with a color-graded count and an adjustable size and position.

- Nametag pop counter — appends a totem icon and a colour-graded count after each player's nametag, tracking how many totems they've popped this life (green → yellow → red as it climbs).
- Reset on death — a player's count resets when they die, using layered detection: server death messages (which work server-wide) plus a nearby fallback.
- Reset key bind — bind a key, or use the in-menu button, to clear all counts at once.
- In-game settings — toggles, a scale slider, and drag-to-reposition, all under the Dotshow Mods button in the pause menu.
Requirements
- Fabric Loader 0.16.9+
- Fabric API
- DTS Lib — required; provides the in-game settings hub.
