About this Mod
Right-clicking with a totem adds them to your additional lives! Essentially combining the best of 1-Up from Mario and Totem of Undying from the base game!
This mod was inspired by a post on reddit almost 4 years ago by u/That-Reward-7034:
"I never use totems of undying in my worlds and usually play a vanilla+ style of Minecraft with qol mods or difficulty mods.
I was thinking it would be cool if there was a difficulty mod that gave you 3 lives at the start of the new world generation. In this mod, totems of undying would be changed to basically be 1-up consumables, adding to your number of lives left.
I’ve seen a couple limited lives mods but never came across anything like I mentioned. I’m curious how many people use totems of undying outside of hardcore. I don’t mind the idea of limited lives but I’m not ready to commit to a hardcore world lol."
