About this Mod
📖 Description
Nice Keep Inventory tweaks the way the keepinventory gamerule works by only keeping part of your inventory when you die. Keeping only important items like Armor and Tools provides a fair compromise between loosing all your stuff and keeping everything.
In addition to that this data pack also comes with three new enchantments: Safekeep, Deathlock and Gravehold. Details for both are below. A more comprehensive list including enchantments of all our data packs can be found here.
Deathlock

With v2.5 forward the data pack also comes with customizable Player Graves and an easy to use in-game config menu which can be accessed by using the /function keep_inventorycommand.
The data pack also functions as the resource pack for the needed translation keys. (Mod users automatically have the resources enabled)
