SoulBound Pouches
SoulBound Pouches keeps a player's stored items through death, since the pouch stays in the inventory and returns after respawn with everything still inside.
What it does
Upgradable pouches hold items that would otherwise be lost when a player dies in lava, a dive, or a creeper blast. A basic pouch is crafted first, and a Greater Pouch and higher tiers add more slots. The mod is aimed at players who want fewer lost items after a death, and it also covers dropped items and inventory management.
Fabric is the only loader the mod is published for, and it runs on the 1.20.1 game version alone. The client and server both need it, so the server and every player install it. The mod is released under the MIT License but is not open source. Auto-sorting and other quality-of-life features are listed by the author among the planned content.
Key features
Items kept through death
Items stored in a pouch stay in the inventory after a death and are still there at respawn.
Tiered upgrades
A basic pouch can be upgraded to a Greater Pouch and later tiers, each adding more slots.
Throw-away safety
Items placed in a pouch are not dropped when the player dies, so fewer items end up in graves.

Use cases
Long survival runs
A pouch carries the stock a player builds up over time, so a death does not reset the inventory to nothing.
Who it’s for: Survival players and server owners who want stored items to survive death. The mod is client and server, so a server that offers it needs every player to install it.

What the author says
Ever lost your best gear to a stupid lava dive or creeper sneak attack? Yeah. Not anymore. SoulBound Pouches are upgradeable inventory bags that don’t disappear when you die. They stay in your inventory. No graves, no “oops I forgot where I died,” no full reset. If it was in the pouch, it’s still with you.
