Keep Inventory On Death

Keep Inventory On Death

Keep your items when you die instead of dropping them

✅ Verified for Java 26.2 · Bedrock 26.32 — checked June 2026

Stops you and all players from dropping inventory and experience on death. Items stay in your hotbar and inventory, eliminating the scramble to recover them. Run /gamerule keepInventory false to restore death penalties and re-enable the standard 5-minute despawn timer on dropped items.
