I'd like to play the totem animation with a custom item. I've found this (https://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/topic/74941-solved-use-totems-animation/) answer, but I'm not sure how to implement EntityRenderer#displayItemActivation into my code. How would I go about playing this animation with a custom item?

You need a custom packet. Send your packet from the server to the client and when the packet is received call Minecraft.getInstance().gameRenderer.displayItemActivation(...)

Thanks for the reply, all this packet stuff is new to me and I'd like to see how to use them. Do you have any resources or places where I could learn how to use these because I've looked for documentation and resources but all I found was the link in my original post.

Here is the forge documentation. It's a good place to look for things first, but it is very sparse.

The docs are on top of this website: https://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/networking/simpleimpl/
