Configured Keep Inventory
Configured Keep Inventory lets server owners choose which inventory slots keep their items when a player dies, instead of keeping everything or nothing.
What it does
A config file holds a list of integers, each one the index of an inventory slot. Slots named in the list keep their items through death, and every other slot drops as usual. The default setting keeps the first four hotbar items, the offhand item, the eight hotbar slots, the 35 main inventory slots, and the four armor slots for boots, leggings, chestplate and helmet.
The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It is built for Fabric only and has files for 1.20.1, 1.20.2, 1.20.3, 1.20.4, 1.20.5, 1.20.6, 1.21 and 1.21.1 across 8 release versions. Configured Keep Inventory is not open source and is licensed as All rights reserved.
