Keeper of Inventories
by Hero0fTime64
Keeper of Inventories is a Forge and NeoForge storage mod that keeps a player's items after death, so a Totem Undying style inventory can be recovered without losing everything.
What it does
When a player dies with the mod installed, the inventory is kept rather than dropped, which the author describes as a way to stop losing items to death. The author notes that the mod was made because nothing similar was found for 1.20, and that other versions may follow if enough players ask for them.
The mod is built for Forge and NeoForge. Files exist for 1.20.1 and for every release 1.21.1 – 1.21.10, with the latest Forge build at 1.0.1 for 1.20.1 and the latest NeoForge build at 1.0.1 for 1.21.10, both published on 2025-12-01. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The author says the mod has not been tested with gravestone mods, and that a player who dies with it installed should not expect a gravestone to appear.
Key features
Keeps inventory on death
Items are kept when a player dies, which avoids losing the whole inventory to a single death.
Totem-style recovery
The inventory behaves like a Totem Undying, restoring what the player carried instead of dropping it.
Craftable clock recipe
The item is crafted from a clock surrounded by four redstone slots, using a normal crafting grid.

Use cases
Survival servers
Server owners who want to reduce item loss on death can add the mod to a Forge or NeoForge server, with every player installing it too.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners on Forge or NeoForge who want items kept after death and are happy to run a 1.20.1 or 1.21.x build.
How it compares
Void Totem is a mod for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.20.2 – 26.3, under All rights reserved, so it covers more loaders and versions; the server needs it, and players may add it. Totem of undying now craftabale works on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.8 under All rights reserved, and only the server needs it, so players can join without installing it. Keepers of the Stones II is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only for Forge and NeoForge across 1.19.2 – 1.21.8, and both sides must run it.
