NeoForgeClient and serverMIT License1.21.1

What it does

A totem is used up on death and the player's inventory is saved instead of dropped. Items from Curios and Trinkets slots are saved too. The totem is crafted from diamonds, iron and chests, and the mod is built for 1.21.1 only. Both the server and every player need it, and the mod is released under the MIT License but is not open source.

Key features

  1. Totem consumed on death

    A totem used up at death keeps the whole inventory from being dropped.

  2. Curios and Trinkets slots

    Modded items held in Curios or Trinkets slots are saved along with the rest of the inventory.

  3. Crafted totem

    The totem is made from 2 diamonds, 3 iron and 4 chests, so the cost is set by crafting ingredients.
