Keep Some Inventory

What It Does Keep Some Inventory changes what happens when you die in Minecraft. Instead of losing everything, you keep your fighting gear - weapons, tools, and armor - while still dropping resources like ores, food, and building materials. Your experience also stays at your death point and can be fully collected, not limited to the vanilla 7-level cap. After death, items and experience despawn after 10 minutes, double the default time. ## Who It’s For This mod suits players who find the keepInventory gamerule too safe but hate losing enchanted equipment after hours of work. It’s ideal for those who want risk in dangerous areas like the Nether or deep caves without punishing progress. If you enjoy the tension of dying but want to retain your combat readiness, this data pack hits that middle ground. ## Main Features When you die, your equipment stays locked to your inventory. Resources scatter as normal but remain at your death spot - no flying into lava or off cliffs due to a modified drop behavior. All experience drops and stays collectible. The despawn timer for dropped items and experience is extended to 10 minutes, giving you more time to recover after a tough fight. ## Compatibility Notes Keep Some Inventory uses vanilla item tags and common c tags, so it may work alongside other mods, though this isn't guaranteed. It's incompatible with grave packs or any mod that alters item handling on death. For CraftBukkit-based servers (Spigot, Paper, Purpur), you must manually set /gamerule keepInventory true in each world, including the Nether and End, as they maintain separate gamerules. Failing to do so results in default death behavior. ## Supported Platforms The data pack runs on Neoforge, Fabric, Forge, Quilt, and as a standalone datapack. It supports Minecraft versions 1.20.5, 1.20.6, 1.21, and 1.21.1. No additional installation steps are required beyond placing it in your world’s datapacks folder or mod loader’s mods directory.
