Keep Inventory Always
by BizCub
Keep Inventory Always makes a player keep their inventory on death, so the server can apply that rule without changing the game's keepInventory setting.
What it does
When a player dies, the items in their inventory stay with them. The rule applies on servers and in single-player worlds, and the mod's behaviour does not depend on the gamerule being set. Server owners install it to keep the rule in effect across every world the server runs. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering 51 release versions 1.13 – 26.3, plus snapshot builds. Fabric players must also install Fabric API.
Key features

Items stay in the inventory after death, whether or not the gamerule keepInventory is enabled in the world.
Server-side operation
Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything.
Data pack option
A data pack build is available for servers that prefer that form of installation.
