About

The Totem of Undying is a consumable item that triggers automatically when held in either hand and the player reaches 0 health. Instead of dying, the player is saved: they receive the Regeneration and Absorption effects, and the totem itself is consumed. It is one of the few non-stackable items in Minecraft, so you can only hold one at a time.

Admins typically give totems to players for high-risk activities or survival mode testing. Use the give command with the item's namespaced ID to hand them out. The totem does not drop on death, it activates first, making it valuable for protecting against unexpected damage spikes or fall damage.
