Totem Warning

🔮 Totem Warning

A missing totem is easy to overlook. Make sure you notice it before it matters.

Totem Warning is a client-side Fabric mod that adds customizable visual alerts when you don’t have a Totem of Undying where you need one.

It keeps an eye on two important inventory locations: your offhand and your hotbar. If either one is missing a totem, you’ll get a visual warning on your screen.

Whether you’re preparing for a fight, exploring or simply playing survival, it’s a small addition that can make you more aware of your inventory.

✨ Features

Two independent warning systems

🔴 Offhand Warning

Displays a full-screen color overlay when your offhand doesn’t contain a Totem of Undying.

🟠 Hotbar Warning

Displays a customizable screen overlay when none of your nine hotbar slots contains a totem.

• Custom RGB colors for both warning systems.

• Adjustable overlay opacity.

• Five different layouts for Hotbar Warning.

• Custom positioning and dimensions using screen percentages.

• Live previews while changing settings.

• Separate controls for each warning system.

🌍 A few extra details

• Turkish, English and Spanish interface languages.

Custom Area	Set your own position and dimensions.
