Totem Balancer is a lightweight Minecraft Fabric mod designed to enhance gameplay balance by preventing the overuse of the Totem of Undying. The mod is lightweight, easy to install, and configurable to fit different server rules or personal preferences.

- Configurable cooldown timer between uses of the Totem of Undying.
- Configurable amount of Totems of Undying a player can carry.
- Clear in-game notifications when cooldown is active or item limit is exceeded.
- Fully configurable via commands or the config file.
Installation
Place the mod JAR file into the server's mods folder and start the server.

}
You can also modify the settings at runtime using server commands:
