Balanced KeepInventory

by korrupZsoul

Balanced KeepInventory keeps items on death for players on a Fabric server, with a configurable experience and durability penalty attached.

FabricServer-side onlyAll rights reserved1.21 – 26.3

What it does

When a player dies, the server keeps the inventory enabled, so items stay with the player, but a penalty applies to experience and durability. The penalty is set through the mod's configuration, and Fabric API is required. The mod is published for Fabric only, across 17 release versions 1.21 – 26.3, with 1.0.2 as the latest file for 26.3, under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Keep keepInventory enabled

    The mod keeps the keepInventory rule active so items remain after a death without changing the world rule by hand.

  2. Experience penalty on death

    A configurable share of experience is taken when a player dies, so keeping items carries a cost.

  3. Durability penalty on death

    Item durability can also be reduced on death, as an optional part of the penalty.
