Keep But Penalty

# Keep But Penalty **Keep your inventory. Choose the cost of death.** Keep But Penalty is a lightweight server-side NeoForge mod for packs and servers that want vanilla-owned inventory retention without grave recovery loops or persistent world-rule changes. ## Default behavior - Keeps player inventory through a death-scoped projection of vanilla `keepInventory` behavior. - Does not modify or save the world's real `keepInventory` gamerule. - Does not copy inventories or own item drops/player clones. - Applies no experience, durability, or respawn-effect penalty by default. ## Optional penalties The common config can enable: - A retained fraction of total vanilla experience. - Direct durability loss for armor, hands, Curios, and Accessories equipment. - Any configured respawn debuffs using `effect_id,duration_seconds,level` entries. Example: ```toml [death] keepInventory = true enableExperiencePenalty = true experienceKeepRatio = 0.333333333 respawnDebuffs = [ "minecraft:weakness,60,1", "minecraft:mining_fatigue,60,1" ] [durability] enableDurabilityPenalty = false durabilityLoss = 80 ``` Curios and Accessories are optional. Their equipped slots participate only when the corresponding mod is installed and durability penalties are enabled. ## Supported versions The maintained release matrix follows modpack anchor versions rather than every Minecraft point release. One Keep But Penalty source line supports: - Minecraft 1.21.1 - Minecraft 26.1.2 - Minecraft 26.2 RinLib 0.3.1 or newer is required. ## Upgrading from 0.1.6 Version 0.1.6 wrote `keepInventory=true` into existing worlds. Stable releases never mutate that rule and cannot infer the administrator's original intent. Reset legacy worlds once if the vanilla baseline should be restored: ```mcfunction /gamerule keepInventory false ``` Minecraft 26.x uses the renamed rule key: ```mcfunction /gamerule minecraft:keep_inventory false ``` ## Downloads - [Modrinth](https://modrinth.com/mod/keep-but-penalty) - [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/rinchan-hoshino/keep-but-penalty/releases)
