Keep On Death is an achievement-friendly Minecraft Bedrock addon that allows players to decide which items they want to keep after death without turning on cheats or changing the world keep inventory gamerule.

The addon uses a custom item called `keepon:death` to open a menu. From that menu, players can quickly protect their normal equipment or manually choose any item from their current inventory. This makes it useful for both vanilla gear and many custom addon items.

Instead of trying to recreate items later, the addon protects the actual items in the player’s inventory. This helps keep important item data such as enchantments, armor trims, durability, custom names, and other item properties.

This addon supports most custom items, as long as they behave like normal inventory items. However, due to differences in how some addons handle items, full compatibility with every custom item cannot be guaranteed.

This addon is manual by design. If a player changes gear, equips different armor, or picks up new items they want to keep, they should open the menu again and update their protected items.
