Totem Hand Pop
I don't know my version or loader
Totem Hand Pop
Totem Hand Pop is a mod that moves the vanilla totem pop animation to the side of the screen based on the hand that actually popped. If your mainhand totem pops, the animation shows on the mainhand side. If your offhand totem pops, it shows on the offhand side instead of always being stuck in the middle of your screen.
The biggest thing with this mod is that it keeps the normal Minecraft totem pop animation, but lets you control where it appears. It does not make a fake custom pop overlay, it moves and scales the vanilla floating item render so the animation still feels like Minecraft, just cleaner and less in the way.
Totem Hand Pop also has a built in position editor so you can drag the mainhand and offhand pop locations anywhere you want. You can resize each pop, use a grid for cleaner placement, reset positions back to default, and swap the mainhand/offhand sides if you want the layout reversed.
The mod is made to be lightweight and simple. It only runs on the client, does not change gameplay, does not send packets, and does not require a server-side mod. It is also works with vulkan mod incase you're wondering.
- Commands: /thp, /totemhandpop
