Fixing Ignored Settings and Restoring Vanilla Values

Why Custom Settings Are Ignored

If your color, size, or physics changes do not show up in-game, check three overrides in the mod's configuration:

  • Global mod toggle: Under General, verify the global toggle is enabled so the mod is not completely disabled.
  • Category toggles: Configuration settings are split into categories that can be enabled and disabled at any time. Make sure every category you edited is turned on.
  • Particle type override: Check Particle type under General. Replacing the totem particle with a different kind—such as criticals—ignores most other parameters. Reset it to the standard totem particle if you want custom colors, scales, or movement.

Restoring Default Minecraft Values

If you want to undo heavy physics or size tweaks while keeping one feature active (such as custom colors), set the remaining values back to Minecraft's defaults:

  • Emitter lifetime: 30 ticks
  • Minimum / Maximum age: 60 to 72 ticks
  • Minimum / Maximum scale: 0.75
  • Minimum / Maximum velocity multiplier: 0.6
  • Minimum / Maximum starting gravity: 1.25

You can also disable individual categories directly whenever you want specific parameters to stop overriding vanilla totem behavior.
