Safety Choice
Safety Choice gives server owners a toggle for keepInventory on each player, so a player can choose whether items drop on death.
What it does
Players can switch keepInventory on or off for themselves with a command, and the command also shows the current status. When keepInventory is off, the items a player carries and the inventory contents saved at death follow the normal rules of the world. Because the choice belongs to each player, the rule can differ from one account to the next on the same server.
A second command lets a player send a duel request to another player, who can accept or decline it. The mod is a server-side mod built specifically for the AeroCraft server, and it aims to make running that server easier by putting the keepInventory choice in players' hands. It is open source under the MIT License and is published only for NeoForge on 1.21.1.
Key features
Per-player keepInventory toggle
Each player can turn keepInventory on or off for their own account, instead of one setting applying to everyone.
Status command
A command shows whether keepInventory is currently active for the player who runs it.
Duel requests
Players can send a duel request to another player, who accepts or declines it with a command.
Base command set
The main commands cover the keepInventory toggle, its status and the duel requests, and they are the only commands the mod adds.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Mixed rules on one server
Some players want their items kept after death while others do not, and the toggle lets each player decide.
Duels between players
Players who agree to fight can use the duel request command to set up a match with another player.
Who it’s for: Server owners running NeoForge 1.21.1 servers who want players to choose their own keepInventory setting, and players on those servers who prefer to keep or lose their items on death.
How it compares
Duel Wielding is server-side only and published for 1.21.1 – 1.21.8 under the MIT License, but it is not open source in the same sense as this mod's source release. Individual KeepInventory also offers a per-player setting; it needs the server and is optional on the client, and it is open source under the MIT License for 1.21.1. Keep But Penalty is server-side only, open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and covers 1.21.1 – 26.2.
