How to install Minecraft Data Packs

Isn't it annoying when you die and your Items are far away and surrounded by danger?

With this data pack no longer, since you keep your fighting equipment like weapons, tools and armor on you when dying!

Personally I don't like playing with the keepInventory true gamerule because it feels cheap to go somewhere dangerous without the risk of losing anything. This data pack aims to give dangerous areas the risk back they deserve while still allowing you to use your best equipment that you spent hours on farming, crafting and enchanting.

Items normally despawn after 5 minutes.
This data pack extends that to 10 minutes for items dropped by dying although this can be changed with the in game config.

The following items are kept when dying:
- Armor, Elytra, Heads, Skulls and Carved Pumpkins
- Tools and Weapons including Trident, Flint and Steal and Fishing Rods
- Clocks, Compasses and Recovery Compasses
- All Golden Apples, Potions and Totems
- Every type of Arrow, all Torches and Firework Rockets
- Ender Pearls and Ender Eyes
- Goat Horns, Spyglasses, all Maps and all Buckets
- All types of Boats, Minecarts, Saddles and Horse Armor
- Written Books and Writable Books (Book and Quill)
- Carrots on a Stick and Warped Fungi on a Stick

The data pack is highly configurable:
You can change what items are kept/dropped by modifying the item tag at /data/ps-keep/tags/items/drop_on_death.json
The config can be changed ingame by any admin by typing /function ps-keep:config


This data pack should be compatible with most other data packs.
If you find any incompatibilities or other bugs, just let me know in a comment below!

When I use this datapack with Weird Crafts Studios - Totem of Keeping - Sculk Expansion . I have a very fun 'feature'. This datapack will not work unless you have a Totem of Keeping in inventory.

1. Sorry, I can’t guarantee support for every other data pack, and probably for (almost) none that do anything with items related to death.

2. Your server seems to be using a lot of plugins (or mods), they might also mess with the data pack(s), breaking things that would normally work

So while it is indeed quite amusing, it’s probably nothing I can or will fix on my end, sorry

yes, this is similar to how the system should be, but you did it opposite. weapons and armor is what you should lose. that encourages the player to craft new gear if they lose it, and it gives uses to leftover materials

i simply suggest you do a function where you can swap between what is saved, gear (tools, waepons, armor, etc), or every otehr item
