Description

Custom Totem lets you use your own image as the Totem of Undying texture without making a resource pack by hand.

Select an image directly through the native file picker in Mod Menu, from any folder on your computer. The mod generates a client resource pack automatically and reloads Minecraft resources for you. An optional config/customtotem/images library is available for files you want to keep together.

Features

Supports PNG, GIF, JPG, JPEG, and BMP files.
Animated GIFs are converted into vanilla animated item textures.
PNG and GIF transparency is preserved.
High-resolution generated textures keep photos sharper while the in-game totem size stays unchanged.
Smooth texture mode reduces the blocky photo look.
First-person hand-size slider changes how large the totem appears in hand without changing texture resolution.
Native system file picker for selecting images without manually moving files into a config folder.
Optional saved-images library for frequently used totems.
Toggleable yellow, red, blue, or green outline around inventory slots containing a totem.
Mod Menu integration for appearance controls, reloading, opening the images folder, and restoring the vanilla totem.
/customtotem reload command for manual config changes.
/customtotem folder opens the images folder.

ModMenu Setup

Select the desired picture by browsing your files directly from the modmenu.
You can adjust size of the totem
You can add more visible borders to the slots with totems in case your custom texture is not visible enough in the inventory

Manual Setup

Start Minecraft once with the mod installed.
Put your image into .minecraft/config/customtotem/images, or keep it at any stable absolute path.
Open .minecraft/config/customtotem/config.json.
Set "enabled": true.
Set "image": "my_totem.gif" or an absolute path such as "C:/Pictures/my_totem.png".
Optionally set "slotOutlineEnabled": true and "slotOutlineColor": "yellow".
Save the file and run /customtotem reload in-game.
To restore the vanilla totem manually, set "enabled": false and run /customtotem reload.
