Charm of Undying Mod FAQ
16 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I get the charm slot to show up in my inventory?
Open your inventory screen and look to the left of the armor slots; the Charm of Undying mod adds a dedicated slot there automatically once it is installed. If you don't see it, make sure the mod is actually loaded and check for conflicting inventory mods.
Do I need to hold the totem in my hand for it to work with this mod?
No. Placing the Totem of Undying in the charm slot lets it trigger on death without occupying your main hand or offhand. This frees both hands for weapons, tools, or shields.
Can I put the totem in my offhand instead of the charm slot?
Yes, vanilla Minecraft already lets you hold a totem in your offhand and it will still save you. The charm slot is simply an extra dedicated space so your offhand stays free for other items.
Why isn't my charm slot totem saving me when I die?
The most common causes are an empty charm slot, a totem placed in a different slot, or another mod overriding death behavior. Double-check the slot actually contains a Totem of Undying and that no other death-prevention mod is conflicting.
Does the charm slot totem get consumed when it saves me?
Yes, the totem is consumed on use just like a vanilla Totem of Undying, so you'll need to replace it afterward. Keep spares in your inventory or a nearby chest so you're never caught without one.
Can I use the charm slot in multiplayer or on a server?
The mod works on servers as long as it is installed on both the client and the server, or the server supports it. On vanilla servers without the mod, the charm slot won't exist and the totem must be held normally.
Does the charm slot work with modded totems or other revival items?
It depends on whether those items register as valid charm-slot contents; typically only the standard Totem of Undying is accepted. If a modded totem doesn't work, try holding it in your hand instead.
Will the charm slot conflict with other inventory or equipment mods?
It can, especially with mods that heavily redesign the inventory or add their own equipment slots. If the slot is missing or misplaced, check your mod list for inventory overhauls and adjust load order or configs.
Does having a totem in the charm slot affect performance or lag?
No, the mod is lightweight and only checks the slot when death occurs. It shouldn't cause noticeable performance impact even on lower-end systems.
Can I move the charm slot to a different position in my inventory?
The slot position is fixed by the mod and generally can't be moved without editing the mod itself. If the default position overlaps with another mod's UI, check for config options or compatibility patches.
What does the Charm of Undying Mod do?
It adds a new slot to the left of your armor slots where you can place a Totem of Undying. This lets you revive on death without holding the totem in your hand.
Where does the Charm slot appear in the inventory?
It appears to the left of the slots where your character's armor pieces are placed.
Do I still need to hold the Totem of Undying in my hand with this mod?
No, placing the totem in the Charm slot is enough. You no longer need to hold it in your hand to be protected.
What benefit does the Charm slot give compared to vanilla Minecraft?
In vanilla you must be holding the totem to revive, which is hard when you die unexpectedly. The Charm slot protects you without needing it in your hand.
Does the mod change the death protection effect of the totem?
No, it grants the same death protection effect as a normal Totem of Undying. Only the way you carry the totem changes.
Why is this mod useful if you die in silly or unexpected ways?
Because you often don't have time to move the totem into your hand before dying. With the totem in the Charm slot, you revive anyway.
