About this Mod
Totem Indicator — Never die with an unused Totem again!
Totem Indicator is a lightweight Fabric client-side mod that warns you when you have a Totem of Undying in your inventory but not in your offhand — so you never die with a totem sitting unused in your bag.
Features
- 🪬 Displays an on-screen HUD warning when a totem is in your inventory but your offhand is empty
- 🚫 No false triggers — only activates when your offhand is completely empty
- 📦 Automatically hides when any inventory or container screen is open
- ⚙️ Toggle the indicator on/off with /totemindicator
How it works
The indicator appears as a pulsing panel in the center of your screen showing the totem icon along with a warning message. As soon as you move the totem to your offhand (or your offhand is no longer empty), the warning disappears.
Commands
-
/totemindicator
- Toggles the HUD indicator on or off
Requirements

Totem Indicator server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.11). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Totem Indicator compatible with fabric?
Totem Indicator officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.11. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Totem Indicator – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Totem Indicator consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
