Individual Keep Inventory Fork
by sprhmn
Individual Keep Inventory is a Fabric server mod that makes the keepInventory rule work on a per-player basis instead of for everyone at once.
What it does
Once installed on a server, the mod changes how keepInventory behaves: each player's items can be kept after death according to that player's own setting, rather than a single world-wide value applied to all players. A vanilla gamerule keepInventory command has no effect while the mod is present, whether it is set to true or false, so server owners manage the behavior through the mod instead.
The mod is completely server-side, so vanilla clients can join a server that runs it without installing anything. Only the server needs Fabric and this mod. It is published for 1.21.4 only, and the source code is available. The project is a fork, made because the original Individual Keep Inventory is no longer maintained and its goal is support for newer versions of Minecraft.
Released under the MIT License, the code is open source. Feature requests and bug reports are handled through the Issues page of the project, which the author asks users to use before anything else.
Key features
Per-player keep inventory
Each player's items are kept or lost on death according to that player's own setting.
Vanilla gamerule overridden
The keepInventory gamerule command has no effect while the mod is installed on the server.
Server-side behavior
The logic runs only on the server, so players join without installing anything extra.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners running Fabric on 1.21.4 who want death item retention decided player by player. Players joining such a server need no installation, since the mod is server-side only.
How it compares
Individual Keep Inventory (Updated) is also server-side only and open source under the MIT License, but it covers 1.21.2 – 26.2, a wider range than this fork's single 1.21.4 build. Individual Keep Inventory Refabricated is server-side only under the MIT License and targets 26.2, and it is not open source. KIBNXP is a Fabric server-side mod for 1.21.11 released under CC0 1.0 Universal, and it is not open source.
