Custom Totem Guide
Make a Custom Totem of Undying from Your Minecraft Skin
A custom Minecraft totem is a small resource pack that swaps the default Totem of Undying texture for a character made from your skin. It is popular because it feels personal without changing gameplay: the item still saves you from death, but the held icon looks like you, a friend, a server mascot, or a character you designed.
This generator keeps the workflow practical. Upload a 64x64 or 64x32 skin PNG, or fetch a public Java skin by username, pick a totem style, preview the result on a transparent checkerboard, then download either the PNG texture or a ready Java resource pack ZIP. Mini and full-body styles replaceassets/minecraft/textures/item/totem_of_undying.png, while the 3D item style also adds a small item model JSON so Minecraft can display the skin as a blocky held model.
Full body
Best when the outfit matters and you want the totem to look more like the full skin.
3D item model
Best when you want a blocky held-item model instead of a flat icon-only texture.

FAQ
Custom Totem Questions
What does a custom Minecraft totem change?
It replaces the item texture for the Totem of Undying. The item behavior stays vanilla; only the icon and held item texture change through a Java resource pack.
Can I use my Minecraft username?
Yes. Enter a Java username and the tool will try to fetch the public skin texture from Mojang, then render the totem preview from that skin.
Are uploaded skins sent to MC Toolbox?
No. Uploaded PNG skins are read by your browser and drawn locally on a canvas. Username lookup requests Mojang skin data, but your uploaded files are not sent to MC Toolbox.
Does this work on Bedrock Edition?
The first version exports a Java resource pack ZIP. Bedrock uses a different pack structure, so a Bedrock .mcpack export should be tested separately before adding it.
Why does Minecraft show a resource pack compatibility warning?
Minecraft checks the pack_format number in pack.mcmeta. Pick the closest version in the dropdown. If Mojang changes pack_format again, the texture path can stay the same while the metadata number is updated.
If a pack does not load, or the texture appears stretched in a specific Minecraft version, send the version and a screenshot through the contact page. Real reports help tune the generator better than guessing from screenshots.
Totem Generator
Custom Minecraft Totem Generator
The custom totem generator turns a Minecraft skin PNG or username into a Totem of Undying texture, with live previews and a downloadable Java resource pack ZIP.
What this tool creates
The output is a transparent PNG for the Totem of Undying item texture plus a resource pack that places it at assets/minecraft/textures/item/totem_of_undying.png. The item still behaves like a normal totem; only the visual texture changes.
Skin privacy and workflow
Uploaded skin files are drawn in the browser and packaged locally. Username mode fetches the public skin texture from Mojang, then the canvas renderer builds mini, full body, or chunky totem styles from the skin faces.
Quick questions
Does it change Totem of Undying behavior?
No. The generated pack replaces the item texture only. The vanilla save-from-death behavior stays exactly the same.
Can I merge this with another resource pack?
Yes. The generated ZIP is intentionally small, so you can merge the totem texture into a larger pack with the Pack Merger if needed.
