Keep Gear

Players keep their armor, weapons and tools when they die, and drop everything else. Similar to how Terraria's mediumcore works, but in reverse.

Required Plugins​

  • None

Rule​

default_behavior: KEEP # <-- Start from keeping everything

rules:
  keep_gear:
    name: "Keep gear, drop everything else"
    enabled: true
    effects:
      drop:
        mode: ALL
        filters:
          items:
            - "*"              # <-- Every item...
            - "!G:EQUIPMENT"   # <-- ...except armor, weapons and tools

How it works​

default_behavior: KEEP makes every death keep the whole inventory, and the rule then drops everything that isn't equipment. See Resource Lists for exactly what G:EQUIPMENT includes.

The order of the items list matters: * selects every item, and !G:EQUIPMENT then removes equipment from that selection. Written the other way around, * would add equipment straight back.

Variations​

Keep more than just gear by adding more exclusions below *:

          items:
            - "*"
            - "!G:EQUIPMENT"
            - "!G:POTIONS"          # <-- Keep potions
            - "!TOTEM_OF_UNDYING"   # <-- Keep totems
            - "!ENDER_CHEST"        # <-- Keep ender chests
tip

This rule only drops items, so any rules below it still see the equipment the player kept. You could add a rule after it that damages the kept gear, for example.
