How do I install Totemic?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on CurseForge — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

What Minecraft version does Totemic work with?

The listing gives Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21, among others. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

This is a magic mod about Totem Poles, nature and the power of music.

The mod's main focus lies on Totem Poles. They can give passive boons to players nearby, but more importantly, they are the central piece of Ceremonies: Dancing around a Totem Pole and playing various musical instruments to invoke strong effects and manipulate the world.

Patchouli is recommended so you get the Totempedia, an in-game guide to the mod's content.

Currently, only Forge/NeoForge are supported, but ZestyBlaze is working on a Fabric version. Stay tuned for that.

Totemic has built-in integration with KubeJS in 1.20.1+, no add-on mod is required (although this might change in the future). See the KubeJS wiki for the documentation.

You are free to include the mod in a modpack.
