Partial Keepinventory
by atiedebee
Partial Keepinventory changes what a player keeps after death, dropping only part of the inventory and experience instead of all or nothing.
What it does
Partial Keepinventory is a server-side Fabric mod that replaces the vanilla keepInventory rule with a configurable partial drop. A share of the items and experience is dropped on death, and the rest stays with the player. Fabric API is required, so it must be installed next to the mod on the server.
Drop behaviour is chosen with a mode setting: vanilla, static, rarity or custom. Static applies one droprate to every item, rarity applies separate rates for common, uncommon, rare and epic items, and custom evaluates a formula the server owner writes. Experience has its own modes, based on levels or on points, with loss and drop percentages set separately.
A saved players list lets chosen players keep the normal keepInventory behaviour, and players can be added to or removed from that list with commands. The mod can be enabled or disabled at runtime. Files are published for 1.19.3, 1.19.4, 1.20 and 1.20.1, and the BSD 3-Clause License covers the source, which is open source.
Key features
Partial item drops
Only a configured percentage of the inventory is dropped on death, from 0 to 100 per rarity or as a single rate.
Experience loss settings
Loss and drop percentages decide how much experience is taken and how much is dropped, based on levels or points.
Custom drop formula
A server owner can set an expression that calculates the droprate for each item from its rarity and slot.
Per-player exemptions
A saved players list keeps the normal keepInventory rule for listed players, managed by commands.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners who run Fabric servers and want a middle ground between full item loss and keepInventory. Players do not need the mod, since it is server-side only.
