Smaller Totem Resource Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I know if the smaller totem is actually working?
Take damage that would kill you while holding a Totem of Undying in your offhand—you should see a noticeably smaller totem model positioned lower on your screen compared to the default. If you see the standard large totem, the resource pack may not be loaded or activated in your world settings.
Can I make the totem even smaller or move it to a different position?
Yes, you can edit the resource pack's model files to adjust the size and position further, though this requires familiarity with JSON editing. Alternatively, check if the mod author has provided configuration options or multiple variants of the pack with different sizes.
Does the smaller totem still protect me the same way?
Absolutely—this is purely a visual change and doesn't affect the Totem of Undying's protective mechanics at all. The totem will still save you from death and trigger its effects identically to the default version.
Will this resource pack work with other mods that change totem visuals?
It depends on what the other mod does; if both mods try to modify the totem model, they may conflict and only one will display. Test them together in your world, and if there's a conflict, you may need to choose between them or find a compatible alternative.
Does the smaller totem affect my FPS or performance?
No, resource packs have minimal performance impact since they only change visuals, not game logic. You shouldn't notice any FPS difference from using this pack.
What if I want to temporarily disable the smaller totem without removing the pack?
You can deactivate the resource pack from your world's resource pack menu, then reactivate it whenever you want—no reinstallation needed. Alternatively, if you have multiple resource packs loaded, you can move this one lower in the priority list so another pack overrides it.
Does the smaller totem work in multiplayer servers?
Yes, resource packs are client-side only, so the smaller totem will display for you regardless of whether the server has it installed. Other players will see their own resource packs (or the default totem if they don't have this one).
Can I use this with texture mods or shader packs?
Yes, this resource pack is compatible with shader packs since shaders don't modify item models. It may conflict with other texture packs if they also modify the totem, so load them carefully and test the result.
Why does the totem still cover part of my screen in certain angles?
The totem's visibility depends on your camera angle and position—even when smaller and lowered, it may still appear in your view depending on where you're looking. If it's still too intrusive, you can edit the pack's files to lower it further or reduce its size more.
Does the smaller totem affect the animation when it activates?
The activation animation should still play, but it will be smaller and positioned lower, making it less visually dominant during the effect. The timing and behavior of the animation remain unchanged.
