Better Keep Inventory

Changed

• Now use the Minecraft combat tracker for player combat tracking for the keep-on-player-death option. This does result in 1.21.4 support being dropped as the feature only exists in 1.21.5 Paper

I recommend deleting and regenerating the config file for the updated comments on the new options. Take a backup of the old config to copy back into the new one.

Added

• Config option keep-on-suicide which checks if the player killed themself, bow and arrow, end crystal etc
• Config options that separate keeping inventory and EXP
• EXP option supports keeping only a percentage of EXP

Fixed

• Reload command not sending warnings to player
• No longer exiting the whole program if the config fails to load 💀

Fixed

• bStats error on startup

Sponge support!?

Along with the 2.0.0 release I decided to start support Sponge as well!

A 2.0.0 plugin rewrite?!

I was bored and decided to rewrite the plugin and make it better. Has all the same feature functionality as the last version but is more configurable. The old config will not work and you will need to regenerate it.

It has the same functionality as the last one but I have now dropped legacy support and it now requires at least PaperMC to run, it will no longer work on just Bukkit or Spigot servers. Which in 2025 why are you still using. If you are for some reason using them, staying on 1.X.X versions is fine.

Added

• reverse config option that reverses functionality so inventories are kept in player combat but not from natural causes

Added

• Support for BetterReload!
• New option only-in-specific-worlds for toggling if this only takes affect in specific worlds or all worlds

Quick recode

• Fixed EXP dropping
• Added a permission option to config to require a permission for the keep inventory. If enabled permission is betterkeepinventory.keep
• Reload command changed to betterkeepinventory reload
• Added base permission for all commands (Only reload at this point) betterkeepinventory.commands
