Adds a component that allows players to retain items upon death
About this Mod
About
This mod provides an item data component that when applied to an item, allows it to be retained upon death. By itself this mod only provides this component, applying it to items is at the discretion of other modders, modpack developers, or map makers.
Soulbound was created to fill the gap between full loot and keep inventory. If you're making an adventure map and want players to drop some loot when they die, but not important items such as room keys or other equipment then this mod is for you!
This mod requires NModUtils to function!
How to Use
Simply give an item the soulbound component like so:
/give @s minecraft:diamond_sword[soulcomponent:soulbound=true]
