Keep Inventory Tweaks

Keep Inventory Tweaks is a Bukkit/Paper plugin for Minecraft that enhances the default KeepInventory gamerule. It allows server owners to fully customize who keeps their inventory on death, with support for per-player toggles, offline players, and world-global behavior. The plugin is designed to be safe, flexible, and easy to use, even with Geyser setups.

Features

• Enable or disable KeepInventory per player.
• Works with offline players.
• Automatic safe item handling: players set to not keep inventory will drop items safely at death.
• Full tab-completion for commands and options.
• Settings and player data stored in JSON files, making it easy to backup or modify.

Commands

/keep_player_inventory update <player> <true|false>

• Toggles the KeepInventory state for a player.
• Only available to OPs or users with keepinventory.update permission.
• Examples: /keep_player_inventory update Notch true will ensure Notch does not lose items upon death.

/keep_player_inventory check [player]

• Checks your own KeepInventory state or another player's.
• Only OPs or users with permission can check other players.
• If no player is specified, defaults to checking your own state.
