In this tutorial we will show you how Minecraft players can keep their items on Death within your Minecraft server using a gamerule command. This is useful when you have an adventure map or want an easier way to play Minecraft.

  1. Head over to your server Console or enter into your Minecraft Server.
  2. Enter the command /gamerule keepInventory true (ensuring to keep the upper case letters). This'll allow players to keep their items upon death. Doing /gamerule keepInventory false will make players drop their items. Please note that these commands are case sensitive. Entering the keepInventory gamerule command on a Minecraft server
  3. That's it! Your players will no longer lose any items in their inventory if they die. No need to worry about losing those precious diamonds! Inventory the same after dying

If you're still having problems keeping items on death, feel free to contact our support team at https://serverminer.com/contact and we will happily help you resolve the issue!
