SoulBound Slots
by Talziar
With SoulBound Slots installed, a player can equip Soul Stones that add protected slots, so chosen items stay in the inventory after death.
What it does
Soul Stones increase the number of SoulBound slots available to a player. Items placed in those slots are kept when the player dies, which lets a player protect valuable gear for the toughest battles. The slots are part of the normal inventory, so the mod changes what survives death and not how the inventory is arranged.
The mod runs on a Fabric server and its clients, so both sides need it and Fabric API must sit beside it. Files exist only for Minecraft 1.20.1, and the latest Fabric build is fabric-1.0.1, published on 2024-09-16 on the beta channel. The code is not open source; the author holds All rights reserved.
Key features
Protected inventory slots
Items placed in SoulBound slots remain in the inventory after the player dies.
Soul Stone upgrades
Different Soul Stones raise the number of SoulBound slots, so the protected space grows as the player finds them.
Valuable item protection
Players can choose which important items to keep, rather than risking the whole inventory on a single death.
Inventory integration
The slots sit within the normal inventory screen, so no separate storage menu is needed.

Use cases
Hard boss fights
A player can place key equipment in SoulBound slots before a difficult battle so a defeat does not strip it.
Long survival runs
Players far from their base can keep tools and potions protected while exploring unfamiliar areas.
Who it’s for: Players who want a safety net for their most valuable items on a Fabric 1.20.1 server or in a single-player world. Server owners install it alongside Fabric API on both sides.
How it compares
SoulBound Pouches is a Fabric option for 1.20.1 with the same client and server environment, released under the MIT License and not open source. Soulbound Enchantment covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.18.2 – 1.21.1 under the MIT License, and it is not open source either. Choose by loader and game version, since SoulBound Slots works only on Fabric for 1.20.1.
