SaveTheHotbar!

keepInventory GameRule should be set to true for the mod to work

Description

SaveTheHotbar! is a balanced alternative to keepInventory and gravestone type mods.
It allows you to keep the armour or the hotbar after death and drop the rest of the inventory,
so that you don't lose the armament required to get the rest of your loot back!

Configuration

You can access and edit the config in game entering it's configuration through the Mod Menu.
SaveTheHotbar! can be configured with the following options:

enabled

Defaults to true
If false, the mod will become disabled, just as if it wasn't installed.

saveHotbar

experienceBehaviour

Defaults to false
If DROP, the experience will be dropped after death.
If STORE, the experience will be stored in the "grave" block. (if containDrop is false, EXP will drop instead)
If KEEP, the player will keep the experience.
No matter which mode is selected, the new EXP amount after death will be calculated according to experienceCalculationMode setting

experienceCalculationMode

Defaults to FRACTION
If ALL, the experience stays unchanged.
If FRACTION, the experience is multiplied by experienceFraction.
If VANILLA, the new experience value is calculated with the vanilla formula -> new_exp_points = {player_level} * 7.

experienceFraction

Defaults to 0.2
The fraction of experience that should be dropped/stored/kept after death when experienceCalculationMode is set to FRACTION

randomDropChance

Defaults to 0.0 (0.0 -> 0%; 1.0 -> 100%)
Adds a random chance to drop an otherwise kept item
E.g. Even when the armor should be kept, each piece will still have a change to be dropped instead, increasing the risk!

rarityDropChanceDecrease

Defaults to 0.2 (0.0 -> 0%; 1.0 -> 100%)
A percentage by which the random drop chance will be decreased according to item's rarity
(e.g. rdc = 20%, rdcd = 20%, UNCOMMON item will have 16% change to drop)

luckDropChanceDecrease

Defaults to 0.2 (0.0 -> 0%; 1.0 -> 100%)
A percentage by which the random drop chance will be decreased according to player's luck effect
(e.g. rdc = 20%, ldcd = 20%, with luck 1, item will have 16% change to drop)

randomSpread

Defaults to false
If true, all the dropped items after death will be spread randomly in all directions.
If false, all the item will stay in the exact position of your death and can only fall downwards.
Does not do anything if containDrop is true.

containDrop

Defaults to false
If true, all the non-kept items will be stored in a block specified by the containDropMode option.
