Craft Your First Totem of Undying

Gather the Required Materials

Before you can craft a Totem of Undying, you'll need to collect the specific ingredients. The recipe uses common materials found throughout the Minecraft world, including items you can obtain from crafting, farming, or defeating mobs. Check your crafting table or inventory to see what you already have on hand.

Use the Crafting Table

Open your crafting table and look for the Totem of Undying recipe in the available options. Arrange the required materials in the correct pattern shown in the recipe grid. Once you've placed all ingredients correctly, the Totem of Undying will appear in the result slot. Click it to add the totem to your inventory.

Equip and Use Your Totem

Place the Totem of Undying in your off-hand slot (the second hand). When you take fatal damage, the totem will automatically activate, saving your life and restoring your health. This makes it essential for dangerous situations like fighting bosses, exploring deep caves, or navigating the Nether. Keep your totem close whenever you venture into risky areas.
