# **AlternativeDeath**
\nThis data pack introduces an alternative death penalty and is designed for gameplay with **\/gamerule keepInventory true** **(but it also has a version for playing without this rule)**. It caters to players who don\u2019t want to lose their items upon death but still wish to feel the fear of dying.<\/p>\n
### **Features**<\/p>\n
– Two Versions Available \u2013 One for use with **keepInventory true** and another for standard gameplay.
\n– Death Penalty \u2013 Upon death, the player’s maximum HP is reduced to 6 **(3 hearts)**.
\n– Health Regeneration \u2013 Restores 2 HP **(1 heart)** every 20 minutes **(24,000 ticks)** starting from the moment of death.
\n– In the version designed for **keepInventory true**, after death, the player’s experience drops as three experience orbs **(items remain in the inventory)**.
\n– The data pack also works in multiplayer.<\/p>\n
### **Compatibility Warning**
\nThis datapack is not recommended for use alongside mods or other datapacks that modify player HP, as proper functionality is not guaranteed.<\/p>\n
### **Note**
\nIf you want to play with **\/gamerule keepInventory true** enabled but don\u2019t want to lose experience, simply use the version without keepInventory and enable **\/gamerule keepInventory true** manually.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
