Totem Essentials is a mod that will allow us to manufacture new types of totems, similar to the Totem of Undying, but with new and interesting features. We can make new variants of totems collecting souls of creatures and animals.

At this moment, the mod allows us to create a total of sixteen variants of totems, among which we will find effects of instant healing, elimination of damage by falling, transferring solid blocks, not affected by gravity, teleportation, generation of entities and absorb twice as much experience, among others.
Totem Shell
Instead of dropping a Totem of Undying, the Woodland Mansion’s Evoker (“Evocation Illager”) will now drop a Totem Shell. This is the blank slate, the basis of Totem Essentials, the crafting ingredient you will combine with various Essences to craft your new Totems.
Essences and Totems
Reaper Essence / Totem of Reaping
Vindicators (“Vindication Illagers”) will naturally drop Reaper Essence 40% of the time. All other Essences must be “reaped”; that is, they must be obtained by killing certain mobs with a Totem of Reaping in your inventory.
A Totem of Reaping is crafted by surrounding a Totem Shell with 8 Reaper Essence. (This is the basic crafting pattern for all totems, by the way.) It has 8 durability; whenever you kill a mob that can drop Essence with a Totem of Reaping in your inventory, you’ve “reaped” that mob. It will drop its Essence and the Totem will take 1 damage. This means each Totem of Reaping lets you reap up to 8 mobs (although it can be enchanted with Unbreaking and Mending to extend its use).
Reaped mobs will drop 1 Essence, plus 1 extra Essence for each level of Looting your weapon has. No matter your level of looting or the number of Essence dropped, the Totem will always take only 1 damage per mob reaped.
Vexatious Essence / Totem of Phasing
Vexatious Essence is reaped from, you guessed it, Vexes. If you craft a Totem Shell surrounded by 8 Vexatious Essence, you’ll get a Totem of Phasing.
As long as you’re holding a Totem of Phasing in your main hand, you’ll be unaffected by gravity and able to move through solid blocks. You also won’t be able to jump, though. Each tick (1/20 of a second) you’re inside a solid block, the Totem of Phasing will take 1 damage. Of course, if it breaks while you’re inside an opaque block, you’ll immediately start suffocating, so be careful!
Lactic Essence / Totem of Curing
If you milk a cow, you get milk. If you reap a cow, you get Lactic Essence. Craft 8 Lactic Essence around a Totem Shell to make a Totem of Curing.
If you would receive a negative potion effect with a Totem of Curing in your inventory, it’ll be cured immediately. Doing so does damage the Totem, though, at a rate of 1 damage per effect cleared per level. So removing a Wither I effect would cost 1 damage, but removing Poison II would cost 2 damage; and removing them both would cost a total of 3 damage.
The Totem of Curing has 10 durability, by the way. That’s probably important to know.
Featherfoot Essence / Totem of Featherfoot
Chickens float, so why can’t you? What if I told you that you could?
Then I’d be lying. You can’t float, but if you reap enough chickens for 8 Featherfoot Essence, you can craft up a Totem of Featherfoot. As long as this is in your inventory, it’ll absorb all fall damage you would otherwise take, until it breaks.
It’s like Feather Fallling on steroids, if it took up an extra inventory slot…
Vampiric Essence / Totem of Vampirism
Bats. They are completely useless, right? Nope! Reap them for their Vampiric Essence, which you can use to craft a Totem of Vampirism.
Whenever you deal damage to a mob while you have a Totem of Vampirism in your inventory, you’ll heal equal to the amount of damage you dealt. Healing this way deals the same amount of damage, rounded up, to the totem.
Traveling Essence / Totem of Traveling
Ender pearls are great, but they can only take you so far. Skip to the next level of teleportation by reaping enough Endermen of their Traveling Essence to make a Totem of Traveling!
Sneak + Use the Totem of Traveling to bind it to your current coordinates. After that, you can simply use it normally to teleport back to that spot from anywhere in the world. Note that you can’t teleport cross-dimensionally; but you can see what coordinates and dimension the Totem is bound to in its mouse-over tooltip.
It takes 1 damage per use, plus 1 damage for every 10 blocks you travel. If it doesn’t have enough durability left to make the full trip, you will teleport somewhere between your current location and your destination… better hope it’s not in lava!
Replication Essence / Totem of Replication
Now that Illusioners spawn naturally in Woodland Mansions (what’s that? YES, THEY DO!), maybe you can reap them for some of their Replication Essence to learn the magicians’ secrets!
Hit any mob with a Totem of Replication to bind it to that mob type. Then you can use the Totem on a block to spawn the mob there. It takes 1 damage for every mob spawned, and starts with 50 durability.
Exchange Essence / Totem of Exchange
Killing villagers is bad for trading. But how else will you reap their wonderful Exchange Essence?
A Totem of Exchange can be put in the left slot of an anvil to “decraft” any item in the right slot. That is, it’ll give you an Exchange Packet which can be used to obtain all the crafting ingredients of the item you’ve decrafted. The opposite of trading a villager supplies for an item, but ideal if you’re a DIY kind of person.
Fireglaze Essence / Totem of Fireglaze
Potions of Fire Resistance are great, but if you do happen to die around lava, you can kiss your items goodbye. But what if the fireproofing abilities of magma cream could be harnessed for your items, too?
You can reap Magma Cubes for their Fireglaze Essence, which can be turned into a Totem of Fireglaze. If a Totem of Fireglaze drops from your inventory upon your death, all the items you’ve dropped will become fireproof until they are collected. You only get two uses out of this Totem, though, so use them wisely!
(Oh, yes, and if you have multiple Totems of Fireglaze drop from your corpse, only one will take damage at a time, so thank magma for that!)
Storage Essence / Totem of Storage
Shulker shells are super useful for blocks of storage, but inventory management can still be a bit tedious sometimes. Enter Storage Essence (reaped from Shulkers, obviously).
Using a Totem of Storage swaps your bottom inventory row with your hotbar and vice-versa. If your Totem is in your hotbar, that slot won’t be swapped, but all the rest will; if you’re using the Totem from your offhand, then all your hotbar slots will be swapped. Useful!
And unlike some other Totems I could mention (and have!), the Totem of Storage has no durability, so you can use one forever! If you don’t lose it, that is.
Aim Essence / Totem of Aim
Skeletons are always shooting at you with bows… maybe if you reap their Essence, you can use it to make a Totem that will help you aim?
Indeed, you can! A Totem of Aiming makes all your arrows fly straight by removing their gravity. It takes 1 damage per arrow enhanced.
Aggro Essence / Totem of Aggression
Zombie Pigmen are known for getting extremely aggressive and attacking you for the smallest slight. But if you reap them of their Essence, you can create a Totem of Aggression!
The Totem of Aggression causes all mobs who target you within a 20 block radius to instead target another mob nearby. If there’s only one mob, though, it’ll still come after you… The Totem takes 1 damage for each mob it “turns”.
Wisdom Essence / Totem of Wisdom
Elder Guardians are elders, and we should respect our elders because they’re wise. Or… we can reap the Elder Guardians of their Wisdom Essence. Up to you.
Wisdom Essence can craft a Totem of Wisdom. With one of these in your inventory, all XP orbs you collect are doubled in value. The Totem takes 1 damage per extra XP you earn. Mmmm, experience.
Gluttony Essence / Totem of Gluttony
Husks are always getting so hungry walking around in the desert. Which means their essence might be delicious! Er, I mean, it might help you manage your hunger… yeah, that… So reap it!
Gluttony Essence can be used to craft a Totem of Gluttony. Keep one in your inventory with some food, and if your hunger drops below 2 haunches, it’ll automatically eat the highest-saturation food for you. It takes more damage eating better foods.
Flamebody Essence / Totem of Flamebody
Blazes, being fire elementals, are kind of hot. Literally, their bodies are on fire. And if you reap their essence, yours could be, too!
When a mob or player damages you while you have a Totem of Flamebody in your inventory, the Totem will take damage, and your attacker will catch on fire for 7 seconds. If they keep hitting you, they keep burning! It’s like thorns, but with more charring.
Daunting Essence / Totem of Daunting
Just hearing a creeper’s hiss can make the bravest warrior turn and run. Therefore, essence reaped from a creeper should have the same effect, right?
Using a Totem of Reaping will push away all mobs in range, using a bit of durability for each mob it pushes. This includes other players, too! Great for getting out of a crowded pinch.
Progression Strategy
Hey, don’t let me tell you how to play the game. It’s your game, you have fun with it your own way!
But if you want to know how I, as the mod author, intended the progression to go, here’s how:
Step 1: Find a Woodland Mansion, collect as much Reaping Essence as you can from Vindicators (preferably with Looting), and then kill an Evoker for your first Totem Shell.
Step 2: Craft your first Totem Shell into a Totem of Reaping, then reap as many Illusioners as you can.
Step 3: Kill a second Evoker, and use its Totem Shell to make a Totem of Replication.
Step 4: Smack an Evoker with the Totem of Replication. Now you can spawn in tons of Evokers to get tons of Totem Shells and keep your Totem Essentials journey going!
Suggestion: You may want to replicate some Vindicators, too, so you don’t lose your Totem of Reaping when it breaks 
Advanced Totemancy
Did you know that creating these Totems from Essence is a form of magic called Totemancy? And like all good types of magic, Totemancy has a scientific hierarchy of progress. That’s a fancy way of saying, “there are Tier II Totems”.
Ensouled Essence
Craft 4 of any Essence with 5 Soul Sand (make an X with the Soul Sand and fill the side gaps with Essence) to craft Ensouled Essence. Use 8 Ensouled Essence in a Totem’s recipe instead of normal Essence, and you’ll make the Ensouled Totem of its type.
You can also upgrade an existing Totem by placing it in the middle of your crafting grid, filling the top and bottom rows with the appropriate Ensouled Essence, and filling the left and right of the Totem with Reinforced Soul Sand.
Reinforced Soul Sand
“what’s reinforced soul sand?” you ask? Simple! Just craft 5 soul sand in an X shape and you’ll get one piece of Reinforced Soul Sand. It looks similar to normal soul sand, but it has some special properties: it doesn’t slow you down, it fills a full block space, and one second after you walk on it, it falls like sand! Placing blocks near it won’t make it fall; something has to walk on it.
More importantly for a Totemancer like you, reinforced soul sand can be used to Ensoul an already-crafted totem rather than starting from scratch with a new Totem Shell
