How to Get Totems in Minecraft?
Totems in Minecraft are a valuable item that offers instant health regeneration when used, but how do you get them? This guide will help you understand the process of obtaining Totems in Minecraft.
What Are Totems?
Before diving into the process of getting Totems, it’s essential to understand what they do. A Totem is a unique item in Minecraft that provides instant health regeneration, but only when used actively. When you’re taken below 4 health, and you use a Totem, your health will be restored back up to 4.4
How to Craft a Totem?
Crafting a Totem is the first step towards acquiring one. Here’s how:
• Gather ingredients: To craft a Totem, you need a few ingredients:
- 4 Prismarine Crystals: These can be found in Prismarine structures, underwater ruins, and occasionally in village churches
- 4 Chipped Prismarine: These are common drops from Pillager Zombies and can be found while raiding villages
• Create the Totem: Open the Crafting Table and arrange the ingredients as shown below:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Top Row | Empty Slot | Prismarine Crystals | Empty Slot |
| Middle Row | Prismarine Crystals | Chipped Prismarine | Chipped Prismarine |
| Bottom Row | Chipped Prismarine | Prismarine Crystals | Prismarine Crystals |
• Congratulations, you’ve crafted a Totem! You can now use it whenever you need a health boost.
Obtaining Totems Via Trades
If you can’t or don’t want to craft one yourself, you can try trading with villagers! There’s a chance that Village Elders will offer Toned Totems for Diamonds.
• Trade Village Elder: Approach a Village Elder in your Minecraft world and open trade dialogue
• Offer Diamonds: Select the Diamond option and negotiate to exchange it for a Toned Totem
• Finger crossed! You may need a few attempts to get one
