My Totem Doll Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I make a totem show my own skin?
Rename a totem using an anvil to match your exact in-game username, then it will display your skin on the doll when you hold it or place it down.
Can I put someone else's skin on my totem?
Yes, rename the totem to any player's username using an anvil, and the mod will fetch and display that player's skin on the doll.
My totem skin looks outdated or wrong. How do I fix it?
Use the skin refresh command to reload player data from the server, which will update any outdated or incorrectly cached skins.
Do I need the mod installed to see other players' totem dolls?
No, multiplayer support means players without the mod will still see your totem dolls, though they'll appear as regular totems on their end.
Can I hide the totem doll when I'm holding it in first-person?
Yes, the mod includes configuration options to customize how totems render in your first-person view, including the option to hide them entirely.
Will player capes show on the totem dolls?
Yes, the mod supports rendering player capes on the dolls if the player has one equipped.
What happens if I rename a totem to a username that doesn't exist?
The totem will attempt to fetch that player's skin, but if the username is invalid or doesn't exist, it will likely display a default or error texture.
Does this mod work on servers?
Yes, the mod has full multiplayer support, so you can use custom totem dolls on servers and other players will see them.
Can I customize how the totem doll looks beyond just the skin?
The mod focuses on displaying player skins and capes; most customization is done by renaming totems to different player usernames rather than altering the doll model itself.
Do I need to restart the game after renaming a totem?
No, the skin should load automatically once you rename the totem, though you may need to move away and back to the totem or use a refresh command if it doesn't update immediately.
