Totem Limiter (Servers-Only)
Totem Limiter is a dedicated, server-side Fabric mod designed to balance gameplay by restricting the number of Totems of Undying a player can carry. This mod is built exclusively for server environments to ensure fair play in competitive PvP or hardcore survival communities.
Core Features
- Strictly Server-Side: No client-side installation is required. Players join with a vanilla client—this mod does not function in singleplayer or on client instances.
- Configurable Limit: Set the maximum number of totems allowed per player (default is 2).
- Smart Pickup Handling: When a player attempts to pick up a totem that exceeds the limit, the mod automatically drops the excess totem back onto the ground.
- Priority Preservation: The mod intelligently prioritizes keeping totems in the offhand or hotbar, dropping the "newest" totems first.
- Real-time Notifications: Players receive a clear chat message when they attempt to carry more totems than allowed.
How to Use
Installation
- Ensure you have the Fabric Loader installed on your Minecraft server.
- Download the
totem-limiter.jarand place it into your server'smodsfolder. - Restart your server.
- Note: Do not install this on your local Minecraft client; it is a server-only utility.
Configuration
After the first run, a configuration file will be generated at config/totem-limiter.json. You can modify the limit by editing this file:
{
"maxTotems": 2
}
- maxTotems: Any positive integer (e.g.,
1,3,5). Changes require a server restart to take effect.
Requirements
- Minecraft: 1.21.11
- Mod Loader: Fabric Server
- Dependencies: Fabric API (Server-side)
FAQ & Troubleshooting
Q: Does this work in singleplayer?
A: No. This mod is strictly designed for dedicated Fabric servers.
Q: Do my players need to download this?
A: No! This is a "vanilla-compatible" server mod. Players join with their standard Minecraft client.
Q: What happens if a player finds a totem in a chest?
A: If they are already at the limit, the totem will be dropped on the ground immediately upon being added to their inventory.
Q: Why isn't the limit working?
A: Ensure you have the Fabric API installed on the server, as it is a required dependency.
