UniqueTotemsCustom Totems of Undying — In-Game Editor, Multi-Effects & Full Customisation
OverviewTurn ordinary totems into powerful, hold-to-activate tools — with a full in-game editor and creator and zero coding/configurating required.
UniqueTotems is a premium Paper 1.21 plugin that adds custom Totems of Undying with real potion effects while held in the main hand or offhand.
It comes with 8 ready-made totems out of the box, making it a truly drag and drop plugin.
Or, design your own entirely in-game. Every totem supports rich display names, lore, multiple potion effects, totem tiers, and live config sync within GUIs — perfect for survival, RPG, factions, or donor stores.
Why Servers Love It
No YAML editing required — create & edit totems completely through polished GUIs
Fully customisable text — Configure every bit to your liking in messages.yml
Pre-built content — Speed, Strength, Aqua, Resistance, Health, Jump, Haste, Fire Resistance all come ready to deploy
Multi-effect totems — stack up to 10 potion effects on one totem
Tier system — scalable tiers (1–10), if the potion effect supports levels
Performance-minded — smart effect updates; minimal effect on MSPT
Exploit-resistant — proper offhand swap handling; no effect duping
How It Works- Player holds a UniqueTotem in main hand or offhand
- Plugin applies the configured potion effect(s) automatically
- Remove or swap the totem → effects are removed instantly
- Higher totem tiers = stronger amplifiers (where supported)
