Switch Between Different Hollow Knight Character Totems

Understanding Totem Variants

The Hollow Knight Totems Resource Pack includes multiple character skins for your Totem of Undying. Each variant replaces the default totem appearance with a different character from the Hollow Knight universe when held or activated.

How to Change Your Active Totem

Resource packs work by replacing textures globally—you cannot switch characters mid-game through inventory menus. Instead:

1. Access your resource pack folder and locate the Hollow Knight Totems pack files

2. Check the pack structure for variant folders or texture files labeled by character name

3. Select your preferred character variant by enabling only that version of the pack, or by editing the pack's texture files if multiple variants are included as options

4. Reload your resource pack by pressing F3 + T (or going to Options > Resource Packs > Reload)

5. Hold or use a Totem of Undying to see your chosen character displayed

If the pack includes multiple character options as separate resource pack files, you may need to enable only one at a time, or stack them in your resource pack list depending on how the pack is structured.

Tip

Check the pack's documentation or folder contents to see which characters are available and how to switch between them.
