BetterKeepInventory 1.3
1.3 is the last build that runs on Minecraft 1.16 and below. It no longer receives fixes. If your server can run a newer Minecraft version, use the latest release instead — it is faster, far more configurable, and has none of the known issues listed here.
About
Do you want to use the KeepInventory gamerule but dislike how it completely removes any risk with death? With this plugin you get to choose how punishing death should be!
1.3 uses a flat config.yml with one section per punishment. There are no rules, conditions or per-world settings — those arrived in later versions.
How it works
The plugin does not turn KeepInventory on. It only reacts to deaths where the inventory is already being kept, and then applies the penalties you configured.
That means the keepInventory gamerule has to be true for the world:
/gamerule keepInventory true
If a death drops the player's inventory, the plugin ignores it completely.
