⬇ Download on ModrinthA modern Paper plugin that allows each player to independently control their own death item and experience drop, without modifying global game rules.
Say goodbye to the server-wide keepInventory game rule! PerPlayerKeepInventory offers granular control for server administrators and players. Players can freely choose to enable or disable their own death drops, and their settings are securely saved and persist after server restarts.
✨ Features
- 👤 Per-Player Settings: Each player's death drop status is stored and calculated independently, without interfering with others.
- ⚙️ Predictable Behavior: Automatically falls back to the world's
keepInventorygame rule when a player has no custom setting. - 🛡️ Granular Permission Control: Provides a complete set of permission nodes for precise control over who can view or modify their own or others' status.
- 💾 Data Persistence: Uses the player's PersistentDataContainer to store settings, ensuring safety and reliability as data is saved and loaded with the player.
