This is a magic mod about Totem Poles, nature and the power of music.
The main focus lies on Totem Poles. They can give passive boons to players nearby, but more importantly, they are the central piece of Ceremonies: Dancing around a Totem Pole and playing various musical instruments to invoke strong effects and manipulate the world.
To get started exploring the mod's content, craft yourself a Totempedia with this recipe:

this is not the tottem BIG dis LICK gsgrjgdkfgjdffjgkrfgkdlfjirfjgjdirufdogjdofgirdjifg profisanol talk my guy
So to get any other instruments, I need red cedar, which means that I have to do the Rite of Spring with just flutes and drums. I've tried so many times - what setups do other people use to make this work? I've got 2 flutes which I switch between half way through, and 6 drums.
It is Impossible to do the Buffalo Dance with just a Flute, Drums and Chimes alone. Chimes not doing anything. No Help from chimes tested. I added this to my Modpack "A Path of a Druid" This si not right. Let me know if you figure it out without cheating. If not I will need to remove the Quest. Thank you
While I'm a big 1.12 fan and hate to be "that guy" but any roadmap for 1.14 or 1.15?
Is it possible to make custom rituals? Ie via crafttwaker/config?
This mod is very interesting, i like it.
Can i shrae this mod with the Minecraft forum in China? www.mcbbs.net
I will leave links to this page and write the developer of this mod.
I hope you can agree!
I love the mod. Love the totems and the ceremonies and the theme. However imo a better written documentation (made by the modauthors) would really help.
I hate this poorly documented, unbalanced mod so much. Trying to progress through it is like driving needles into my eyes. Why is it designed to be so unapproachable?
In reply to Metalsand:
I've never found this to be unbalanced and usually are able to dive into it fairly early game. Vallen did a great tutorial on it
Only thing I've ever found a challenge is just mixing up the different things to play instead of grinding on a single instrument. Most rituals only take a few chims, the jingle skirt, a drum or two and the flute to be super easy.
This mod is way too difficult for no return whatsoever. I've been struggling for a total of several hours to complete even simple ceremonies. Can't get buffalo's, had to cheat to give myself a rattle for any hope of completion. Now I can't upgrade my flute or get eagles, so no other ritual will ever be possible. I've done every trick there is, multiple drums, chimes under leaves, flute in off-hand rattle in the other, a totem right next to my instruments, but nothing is possible. The return for completing these stupidly ridiculous ceremonies is also extremely minimal and not at all worth it. Should be far easier for what you get upon completion. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, in which case I'd appreciate some guidance, but otherwise this mod needs serious revision imo.
In reply to Aviation1300:
yeah I'm just cheating the stuff in, had enough, but it is part of sevtech. Now need to see if I can cheat Baykok in or give myself the achievement once and for all.
EDIT for anyone curious...
/advancement grant {PlayerName}only triumph:stage0/baykok
that did the job
In reply to Aviation1300:
I agree the ceremonies are very challenging. It seems like they recently got a lot harder.
So, when I trying to preform The Spring Ceremony(Drum,Flute) it is literally Nothing!(don't start ceremony :( )
Is That a Bug? All other Ceremonyes are work, only this one is nothing... (sorry for mistakes. 12 pm. And English is not my first language.)
How about do the woodoo,shamanizm or necromancy?
How about good and cannibals tribes(with the necromancers)?
How about shaman spells like an terraforming,hypnotize,thunderbolt,kinship with souls(allow move into the body of any creature other than another player),swamp,etc?
How about a pipe of peace(that give effect increasing efficiency of musical instruments)?
P.S.It only my idea and I only can ask you about that,please answer me.
Hello! What is the range of the totems? Can it be modified?
In reply to Jurahkan:
Hi. Your comment has 20 days now, I don't know if you already got your answer since but just in case :
The range of the Totem is a 13x13x13 cube centered on the Totem Base (basicly, move 6 blocks away from the Totem and you'll lose your Buffs) and it can't be modified.
In order to have these Buffs far away from the Totem, you have to use a Medicine Bag.
I am trying to do the buffalo dance, 2 cows are nearby, everything goes well, but then the progress bar stops 1/2-3/4 of the way through. Is this intentional, do i need more instruments, or what?
In reply to itsyaboy_etheria:
Try more instruments
Request: option to disable totemic villagers. I'm making a custom pack with totemic and would like to use villager trade tables to modify each trade, but villager trade tables can only modify its custom villagers and vanilla ones. I would like to remove the villager, then add it as a custom one with the same trades but dealt in modpack coins, but there is no such option in the config.
In reply to TheRealJackiecrazy:
I see. There is a config option to disable of Tipis and Totem Poles in villages, but I suppose you only want to disable the villagers.
