Totem of Mods: Loader

Totem of Mods

Totem of Mods runs mods built for older Minecraft versions on a new one.

Drop a Minecraft 1.20.1 Forge mod jar into your mods folder next to Totem. Totem reads it while the game starts, translates its code to today’s Minecraft, gives it the handles as it expects, loads it together with aall items, blocks, entities, models, recipes, config files, even the mod’s own Mixins.

Beta. This is a beta, not a finished mod. A lot works, see below, and a lot does not yet. Totem tells you which is which instead of guessing or crashing.

How to use it

1. Install Totem of Mods, Fabric API and CodxLib as usual.
2. Put your old 1.20.1 Forge mod jars straight into mods, together with their dependencies, if the mods requires it.
3. Start the game. The first start is slow: Totem downloads a copy of 1.20.1 and its name lists (into totem/), then translates every mod. Later starts reuse that work and are quick.

Settings

Type /tom in game. Every mod Totem is running that has configurable options gets a page, and so does any companion mod built for Totem. The options are the old mod’s own, the same values its config file holds, checked against the mod’s own rules before they are written.

Reporting a problem

Please include the mod’s report from totem/reports/, and your logs/latest.log. The report usually names the exact thing that is missing, which is far more useful than a description of what went wrong in game.
