Soulbound Enchant
by proxi
Soulbound Enchant lets players keep chosen items after death by putting a Soulbound enchantment on them, and the Fabric mod is published for 1.21.2 – 1.21.4.
What it does
An item carrying the Soulbound enchantment stays in the player's inventory after death instead of dropping. Tools, weapons and armor are supported, and modded items are included as well. Items that have durability lose a percentage of it when they are returned after a death, so the enchantment keeps the item but not its full wear.
The author also points to other essentials that can carry the enchantment, such as boats, minecarts, shulker boxes and beds. The value of the enchantment can be tweaked, and some behavior is controlled through the config file. Mod Menu can be installed to open the settings, and Cloth Config API and Fabric API are both required.
Files are released under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files exist for 1.21.2, 1.21.3 and 1.21.4, with 1.0.0 as the latest Fabric file.

How it compares
Soulbound SMP is a Fabric mod for 1.21 – 1.21.10 that runs on client and server, released under the MIT License but not open source. Exz Enchants is a Fabric mod for 1.21 – 1.21.4, also client and server, under the MIT License and not open source. Soulbound Enchant covers the same 1.21.2 – 1.21.4 range with the same environment and license, so the choice between them comes down to which enchantments each one adds.
