Dont Drop Your Compass
by Ordana
Dont Drop Your Compass keeps Recovery Compasses in the inventory after the player dies, so they are not lost on death.
What it does
The mod adds an item tag named keep on death. Any item in that tag stays in the inventory when its owner dies. By default only the Recovery Compass belongs to the tag, and a datapack can add more items. Builds exist for Fabric and Forge, both for 1.19.2, with 1.0 as the latest file on each loader. Both sides must run it, since the server and every player need the mod. The code is under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so it is open source.
