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.

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.

Toggle your status with just one command

For Players:

Toggle your keepinventory status with one command: /keepinventory

Setting Up This Plugin

This next section will cover some common setup scenarios:

What happens by default?

If you make no changes to the default configuration, this will happen:

- However, the player can choose to keep their inventory with the /ki command.
- You should probably read this documentation to see how you can configure this plugin to suit your needs, unless you want this to happen.

Keep Inventory on All Worlds

To set keep inventory on all worlds (giving the player a choice), run:

/ki setdefaultkion #default yes

To not give the player a choice whether they keep their inventory, run:

/ki setrunson #all no
/gamerule keepInventory true

Note that this method effectively disables the plugin.

Run on a few worlds only

For example, let's say I have two worlds: pvp and survival. I want the player to always keep inventory on pvp, but have a choice on survival (but default to no). We would run the following:
