About this Mod

Totem Limiter (Servers-Only)

Totem Limiter is a dedicated, server-side Fabric mod designed to balance gameplay by restricting the number of Totems of Undying a player can carry. This mod is built exclusively for server environments to ensure fair play in competitive PvP or hardcore survival communities.

Core Features

  • Strictly Server-Side: No client-side installation is required. Players join with a vanilla client—this mod does not function in singleplayer or on client instances.
  • Configurable Limit: Set the maximum number of totems allowed per player (default is 2).
  • Smart Pickup Handling: When a player attempts to pick up a totem that exceeds the limit, the mod automatically drops the excess totem back onto the ground.
  • Priority Preservation: The mod intelligently prioritizes keeping totems in the offhand or hotbar, dropping the "newest" totems first.
  • Real-time Notifications: Players receive a clear chat message when they attempt to carry more totems than allowed.

How to Use

Installation

  1. Ensure you have the Fabric Loader installed on your Minecraft server.
  2. Download the totem-limiter.jar and place it into your server's mods folder.
  3. Restart your server.
  4. Note: Do not install this on your local Minecraft client; it is a server-only utility.

Configuration

After the first run, a configuration file will be generated at config/totem-limiter.json. You can modify the limit by editing this file:

{
  "maxTotems": 2
}
  • maxTotems: Any positive integer (e.g., 1, 3, 5). Changes require a server restart to take effect.

Requirements

  • Minecraft: 1.21.11
  • Mod Loader: Fabric Server
  • Dependencies: Fabric API (Server-side)

FAQ & Troubleshooting

Q: Does this work in singleplayer?
A: No. This mod is strictly designed for dedicated Fabric servers.

Q: Do my players need to download this?
A: No! This is a "vanilla-compatible" server mod. Players join with their standard Minecraft client.

Q: What happens if a player finds a totem in a chest?
A: If they are already at the limit, the totem will be dropped on the ground immediately upon being added to their inventory.

Q: Why isn't the limit working?
A: Ensure you have the Fabric API installed on the server, as it is a required dependency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Totem Limiter 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 Limiter compatible with fabric?

Totem Limiter officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.11. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Totem Limiter – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Totem Limiter 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.
