Custom Keep Inventory

# Custom Keep Inventory A Minecraft Datapack for 1.21.11+ that gives players full control over their death penalties. Choose how punishing death should be — from peaceful keep-inventory to hardcore item drops — all through an intuitive in-game GUI. --- ## Overview Custom Keep Inventory replaces the all-or-nothing nature of vanilla keepInventory with a flexible, per-player penalty system. Whether you prefer a relaxed experience or a punishing survival challenge, this datapack lets you (or your server admin) decide exactly what happens when you die. --- ## Death Penalty Modes | Mode | Behavior | |------|----------| | **Vanilla** | Death drops nothing (default) | | **Softcore** | Drops experience only; inventory is kept | | **Mediumcore** | Drops experience, and backpack items; keeps hotbar, armor, and off-hand item | | **Hardcore** | Drops experience and all items | --- ## Features - **Per-Player Configuration** — Every player chooses their own preferred penalty mode. - **Global Override** — Administrators can set a universal death penalty for all players. - **Permission Control** — Admins can toggle whether non-op players are allowed to change their own penalty mode. - **In-Game GUI** — Clean dialog-based interface, no command memorization needed. - **Quick Access** — Press **G** to instantly open your personal death penalty settings. - **Esc Menu Integration** — Access the full configuration menu directly from the pause screen. --- ## How to Use ### For Players 1. Press **G** at any time to open your personal death penalty settings. 2. Select your preferred mode from the dialog. 3. Your choice takes effect immediately on your next death. ### For Administrators 1. Open the pause menu and click **Custom Keep Inventory** to enter the configuration. 2. From the admin panel you can: - Adjust the global death penalty for all players. - Toggle whether non-op players may change their own penalty mode. 3. Changes apply in real time without requiring a reload. --- ## Installation 1. Download the datapack `.zip` file. 2. Place it into your world's `datapacks/` folder. 3. Run `/reload` in-game or restart the server. 4. The datapack will automatically initialize on first load. --- ## Requirements - Minecraft Java Edition **1.21.11** or newer - No additional mods or plugins required --- ## Permissions | Action | Required Level | |--------|--------------| | Change own penalty mode | Non-op (if enabled by admin) | | Change global penalty | Operator (op) | | Toggle player self-configuration | Operator (op) | --- ## Notes - Players without operator status cannot access the admin configuration menu. - If the admin disables self-configuration, non-op players will be locked to the current setting. - The datapack is fully server-side; clients do not need to install anything.
