    About

    Totem Essentials expands the vanilla Totem of Undying into a crafting system where you collect mob Essences and combine them with Totem Shells to make Totems with different abilities. Evokers in Woodland Mansions drop Totem Shells, Vindicators can drop Reaper Essence, and a Totem of Reaping lets you reap Essence from other eligible mobs by killing them while it is in your inventory. The resulting Totems offer practical and combat abilities: Phasing lets you move through blocks without gravity, Curing clears negative potion effects, Featherfoot prevents fall damage, and Vampirism heals you when you damage mobs. Other Totems support travel and item management: Traveling binds to a location for return teleportation, Replication binds to a mob type so you can spawn copies, Exchange turns items into their crafting ingredients, and Storage swaps inventory rows with your hotbar. Additional abilities include making arrows fly straight, redirecting nearby mobs that target you, doubling collected experience, automatically eating food when hunger is low, and setting attackers on fire. The mod also includes Totems for protecting dropped items from fire after death and pushing nearby mobs away, alongside other effects such as improved aiming and experience gain. A second tier of Ensouled Totems upgrades these abilities, including flight while phasing, cross-dimensional travel, exact mob copies, broader inventory-row cycling, and stronger protection or healing effects. Recipes become available in the recipe book after you obtain your first Totem Shell, JEI can help identify mob drops, and configuration options let you adjust durability or disable Totem recipes and their associated Essence drops.

    Adds 69 items, 69 recipes, 1 loot table and 4 sounds.

    Counted from the names and data files in the mod, so the list may not be complete.

    No harmful code found

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.12 to 1.12.2.

    We checked its files and read their code, without running it.

    Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.

    How we checked · The latest file checked, last on 16 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      1 latest file. It is not for a recent Minecraft version, so the answer above is about it. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
    • Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.

    Privacy

    We found nothing it sends

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.12 to 1.12.2.

    We read its code without running it: it contacts no web address while you play.

    Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.

    How we checked · Its one file read
    • Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.
      The code of its one file, for Minecraft 1.12 to 1.12.2. See each file in Releases

    AI

    No sign so far that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and sounds and found none.

    We have not read its code history yet.

    No sign of AI in the game

    We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
