About this Mod
This is a magic mod about Totem Poles, nature and the power of music.
The mod's main focus lies on Totem Poles. They can give passive boons to players nearby, but more importantly, they are the central piece of Ceremonies: Dancing around a Totem Pole and playing various musical instruments to invoke strong effects and manipulate the world.
Patchouli is recommended so you get the Totempedia, an in-game guide to the mod's content.
Currently, only Forge/NeoForge are supported, but ZestyBlaze is working on a Fabric version. Stay tuned for that.
Totemic has built-in integration with KubeJS in 1.20.1+, no add-on mod is required (although this might change in the future). See the KubeJS wiki for the documentation.
