Keep HotBar And Armor
Never lose your hotbar or armor on death.
What does this mod do?
This is a quality-of-life mod that preserves all items in your hotbar and your equipped armor (helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots, and offhand) when you die, instead of dropping them on the ground. Items in the rest of your inventory still drop as normal.
In vanilla Minecraft, losing everything upon death is the standard penalty. But when playing in high-difficulty modded environments (such as Scape and Run: Parasites), recovering your items can feel borderline impossible. This mod bridges that gap—keeping the survival stakes high while removing the frustrating, game-ending grind of total item loss.
Why use Hotbar And Armor Keep?
- Instant Recovery: Keep your weapons, tools, and armor on hand so you can jump straight back into the action after respawning—no scrambling to retrieve gear before it despawns.
- Stay Geared Up: Your armor is restored automatically on respawn, so you won't re-enter a dangerous situation completely exposed.
- Perfect for Hardcore Modpacks: Protect your most essential gear from despawning or getting trapped in dangerous, heavily infested enemy territory.
