Popping a Totem applies penalties such as Weakness, Mining Fatigue, Blindness, Hunger, and Slowness.Totem scarcity (optional, on by default)
- Evokers in raids no longer drop Totems (making them unfarmable using raid farms).
- Only Evokers in Woodland Mansions drop Totems, making them rare and precious.
Disable Totems altogether (optional, off by default)
Disable Totems / any death-protecting items entirely.
