Reactive Totems

Reactive Totems makes the Totem of Undying dynamically react to your environment and health with smooth colors, glowing eyes, cracks, and animated visual effects.

Reactive Totems

Reactive Totems is a fully client-side Fabric mod that makes the Totem of Undying feel much more alive while keeping the original Minecraft pixel-art style.

Instead of always looking identical, the totem smoothly changes depending on the environment you're currently in.

Environment States

• 🌍 Overworld — classic golden appearance
• 🔥 Nether — darker, burnt-gold tones
• 🟣 The End — purple-tinted burnt gold
• 🌊 Underwater — cyan and blue accents mixed with gold
• 🌙 Night — slightly darker version of the normal totem
• ⛈️ Thunderstorms — electric cyan accents, glowing eyes, and lightning-like cracks

When your health reaches 50% or lower, the totem becomes more intense.

Its eyes begin glowing based on the current environment, cracks become visible across the surface, and the visual effects grow stronger as your health gets lower.

The different states aren't just simple recolors either. Highlights, shadows, gold sections, inlays, eyes, and accent details can react differently depending on the environment, making each version feel more distinct.

Transitions are also smooth instead of instantly snapping, including when entering water, changing dimensions, moving between day and night, or losing health.

The mod keeps the original Totem of Undying's size, position, and alignment, so it still feels like a normal Minecraft item rather than a completely different model.
