General Mechanics

Do you want to use the KeepInventory gamerule but dislike how it completely removes any risk with death? With this plugin you get to choose how punishing death should be! Using a rich rule-based configuration system you get fine control over exactly what happens to players when they die!

Versions

The plugin is currently undergoing a large update from 1.x to 2.x. 2.x builds are currently not considered "stable". So if you are running a production server, it might be a good idea to use the latest 1.x build instead. You can find all these on the Versions Tab

Features

Full control over player by applying Effects:

Damaging tools, armor & equipment

  • Dropping certain items
  • Losing/Dropping EXP levels
  • Retaining hunger level
  • Lose money on death (Requires Vault)

Full control over which effects get applied when using Conditions:

  • Worlds
  • Permissions
  • Economy (Requires Vault)
  • Placeholders (Requires PlaceholderAPI))

Advanced rule-based configuration system! Example Rule Configuration

Developer API

Plugin developers can add additional Conditions & Effects using the BetterKeepInventory API
