Just Auto Totem
There is no worse feeling in Minecraft than watching your health bar drain while you fumble through your inventory, desperately searching for a Totem of Undying. You know you have one. It is right there. But your offhand is empty, and the seconds it takes to move the totem manually are the exact seconds that cost you everything. Your items scatter across the ground, your experience points vanish, and you respawn with nothing but frustration. Just Auto Totem eliminates that problem entirely by moving the totem for you, instantly and automatically, the moment your offhand becomes empty.
What Does Just Auto Totem Do?
Just Auto Totem is a client-side Fabric mod that watches your offhand slot every few ticks. The moment it detects that your offhand is empty, it scans your hotbar and main inventory for a Totem of Undying. When it finds one, it moves it into your offhand using a standard vanilla inventory packet. This is the exact same action as pressing the F key on a slot manually, so the server simply sees ordinary inventory movement. There is nothing suspicious, nothing complicated, and nothing that requires server-side installation.
The mod only acts when it is actually needed. If a totem is already in your offhand, Just Auto Totem does nothing. It does not shuffle your items around unnecessarily, and it does not interfere with your normal gameplay. It simply waits, watches, and acts in the split second you need it most.

The mod will automatically equip a totem to your offhand whenever the slot is empty and a totem is available in your inventory or hotbar.
If you ever want to disable the mod temporarily, simply press the O key. This is useful in situations where you want to keep your offhand empty, such as when using a shield or a map. The mod remembers your preference across restarts, so you do not need to toggle it every time you launch the game.
Rebinding the Toggle Key
If the default O key does not suit your playstyle, you can rebind it in the Controls settings. Navigate to Options, then Controls, and find the Just Auto Totem keybind. Assign it to any key you prefer. The change takes effect immediately, and the mod will remember your new binding.
Is Just Auto Totem Safe to Use?
Because the mod uses standard vanilla inventory packets, it is indistinguishable from manual player actions. The server cannot tell that a mod is moving the totem, because the action is identical to pressing F on a slot. This makes Just Auto Totem safe to use on most servers. That said, some servers have rules against automated actions, even if they are technically undetectable. Always review your server's rules before using any automation mod.
