No Free Deaths: Better keepInventory

by clo4 · on Modrinth

Lose XP and hunger with keepInventory. Stops players abusing death as a free reset, but without the punishment of losing all their stuff 😌

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21.1–1.21.8 · Data pack⬇ Download for 1.21.1–1.21.8 · Fabric⬇ Download for 1.21.1–1.21.8 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.21.1–1.21.8 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.21.1–1.21.8 · Quilt
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Adds consequences to dying with keepInventory. Players don't abuse death as a free teleport and hunger reset mechanic when they have no reason to.

Features

Opt-out

Players can be opted out of the consequences if they would prefer a more relaxed gaming experience. Per-player opt-out means everyone can play how they want to. An admin must be the one to run the command.

/execute as USERNAME run function no_free_deaths:cmd/opt_out

Configure

Every penalty for death can be toggled individually:

/function no_free_deaths:cmd/toggle_drop_xp
/function no_free_deaths:cmd/toggle_curse_of_vanishing
/function no_free_deaths:cmd/toggle_respawn_hunger_penalty

NOT ENABLED BY DEFAULT
/function no_free_deaths:cmd/toggle_respawn_health_penalty

The percentage of levels lost on death is set automatically when the data pack is loaded and will not be changed unless it is manually updated. It's a bit verbose, but can be changed to a custom amount e.g. 90 to lose 90% of levels.

/scoreboard players set .drop_percentage no_free_deaths.drop_xp.settings 90

Instead of dropping a portion of your XP, you can run the following command to toggle dropping as many experience points as it would take to get you from 0 levels to your current level. Enabling "drop XP in full" means players will always drop all their XP, but it can be entirely recovered.

/function no_free_deaths:cmd/toggle_drop_xp_in_full

This data pack enables keepInventory the first time it is loaded. If keepInventory is disabled after that, it will not be re-enabled on load.
