About this Mod

NOTE (again): This mod used to not work in servers... mostly because of a stupid lil thing i did.
NOW, it works perfectly fine :> (1.2.3 and later)
Transdimensional Totem of Keeping issues fixed (1.2.4 and later).
Use /isttok restoreFromDimensions to recover any lost Totems of Keeping.

Idiot's Saccharine Totems

Adds 5 new craftable totems without completely ruining the vanilla progression. Adds a new effect called Ferrous and also Ferrous Metal and Block. Totems may be found in different loot or be crafted.

Le Totems

Totems

NOTE: All added totems need to be held in one of the hands. Does not support inventory totem mods, yet. Default Ferrous Effect does not work with shaders. So, a glint is used in place of it when a shader is loaded. Glint might not work properly depending on the shader.

  • Totem of Keeping - Totem which DOES NOT prevent death. But instead, stores the inventory items on death and lets you use it to get them back after respawn. Does NOT preserve inventory layout as I was too lazy to implement it. Items not fitting in the inventory are dropped forward when the totem is used.
  • Totem of Ferrous - Gives a ferrous effect for a few seconds and Resistance and Fire Resistance for half minute on use. Ferrous reduces most physical damage including wither by 90% to at most one heart of damage up until half a heart health and reduces magical damage by 65%.
  • Totem of Tenacity - Slightly aggresive but nerfed version of the normal Totem of Undying.
  • Totem of Perseverance - Close but slightly defensive compared to the normal Totem of Undying, still nerfed.
  • Totem of Insanity - Bombards and overwhelms you with multiple effects. You end up tanky and aggressive, but also vulnerable after a while due to hunger and wither.

Ferrous family of items

  • Ferrous Metal - Used to craft the totem core and the clamped ferrous linkage.
  • Clamped Ferrous Linkage - Used to brew the Potion of Ferrous.
  • Ferrous Metal Block - Items and entities maintain their horizontal velocity when in collision with the block. (Slightly unbalanced... but fun :)
  • Totem Core - Used to make the totems. Can be imbued with a potion effect using honey and sugar. When licked, gives the effect of the imbued potion for a bit. No limit on the number of times you can lick (might need to balance this ;-; )

Formula used to get the duration (in ticks) for the imbued effect

max(1, 12 * (sqrt((duration / 10) + 1) - 1)) * sign(duration - 1) + 1; // Feedback much appreciated!
