Totem No Shading is a simple Minecraft mod that removes directional darkening/lighting and block lighting effects to totem of undying items. Holding totems in either hands, worn on head (through commands), or on the ground will render said items to full brightness.
Totem No Shading is related to Simply No Shading and some concepts and techniques used there were used or derived. It started with a GitHub enhancement request/issue Simply No Shading#119 for supporting disabling directional lighting on a single type of item, specifically the totem of undying; at that time there was no clear way to implement this. After figuring out how to implement less experimental entity shading, Simply No Shading#119 was reconsidered but deemed to not fit in the base Simply No Shading mod itself, instead this mod, Totem No Shading, shall fulfill this and even add on it by making the totems fully bright.
