More Detailed Keep Inventory
by Lesungend
More Detailed Keep Inventory lets server operators grant the keepInventory rule to individual players, so their items survive death even when the server-wide rule is off.
What it does
Normally the keepInventory game rule applies to every player on a server. This Fabric mod works per player instead: an operator adds a named player to a list, and that player keeps their inventory on death while the server-wide rule stays set to false for everyone else. Removing a player from the list restores the default behavior for that player.
The list is managed with three subcommands. Adding a player, viewing the list of players who have the rule, and removing a player each take a single command. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and only the server needs the Fabric loader and the mod. The code is open source under the MIT License, and files exist for Minecraft 26.2 only.
Key features
Per-player keep inventory
Individual players receive the keepInventory effect, keeping items and experience through death without changing the server rule.
Add a player to the list
A single command adds a named player to the list, and that player is granted the keepInventory rule from then on.
View the list
A list command shows every player currently covered by the per-player keepInventory rule.
Remove a player from the list
A remove command takes a player off the list, so that player no longer keeps their inventory on death.

Use cases
Protecting selected players
Server owners can shield specific players, such as staff or new members, from losing items while leaving the rest of the server on default death rules.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want to keep items on death for some players only, without turning the rule on for everyone.
How it compares
Dreambound is a Fabric mod for 26.1 – 26.2, server-side only and open source under the MIT License, so it covers the same version as this mod with a different approach. Individual Keep Inventory (Updated) is also server-side only and open source under the MIT License, but it targets 1.21.2 – 26.2. Balanced KeepInventory is server-side only for 1.21 – 26.3 and is not open source, since its license is All rights reserved.
