# Description<\/p>\n
Minecraft’s `keepInventory` game rule provides an important feature for players, but it unfortunately fails to account for mixed preferences in servers. Keep It Personal is a Fabric mod which seeks to remedy this by providing commands to individually customize what players drop on death. With these commands, players can:
\n* Choose what they drop on death without affecting others
\n* Customize what parts of their inventory are dropped<\/p>\n
Keep It Personal is designed to be lightweight and compatible; it’s entirely server-side and is fully compatible with vanilla clients.<\/p>\n
# Installation<\/p>\n
To install this mod, simply add the JAR to the `mods` directory in the root directory of the server.<\/p>\n
# Usage<\/p>\n
This mod uses a single command, `\/kip`, along with multiple subcommands as outlined below.<\/p>\n
## Death Preferences<\/p>\n
The following table contains the options a player can choose to keep on death.<\/p>\n
| Name | Description |
\n|:————:|:—————————————————————————|
\n| `armor` | The player’s equipped helmet, breastplate, leggings, and boots |
\n| `offhand` | The item held in the player’s off-hand |
\n| `hotbar` | Items in the player’s hotbar |
\n| `inventory` | Items in the player’s main inventory, excluding the options above |
\n| `cursed` | Items in the player’s inventory that are enchanted with Curse of Vanishing |
\n| `experience` | The player’s experience |<\/p>\n
## Subcommands<\/p>\n
### View All Preferences<\/p>\n

If you are unfamiliar with TOML, it is highly recommended that you learn the specification for ease of configuration.<\/p>\n ## Disable Specific Preferences<\/p>\n If you want to disable a specific set of preferences from being used by anyone, you can use the `preferences.disabled` property. For example, the following “`toml ### Defaults<\/p>\n By default, no preferences are disabled.<\/p>\n ## Enable Specific Preferences<\/p>\n If you want a specific set of preferences to _always_ be enabled, you can similarly use the `preferences.enabled` property. For example, the following forces `armor` and `offhand` to be enabled.<\/p>\n “`toml ### Defaults<\/p>\n By default, no preferences are enabled.<\/p>\n # Permissions<\/p>\n This mod optionally supports fabric-permissions-api for command permissions. Each command can be controlled with a specific permission. The following table contains the full list of permissions.<\/p>\n | Permission | Description | ## Permission Configuration Properties<\/p>\n For servers which do not use fabric-permissions-api or also use OP permission levels, you may specify a default permission level for these commands. This is set as `permissions.permissionLevel` in the configuration file.<\/p>\n The permission level can be either a numeric or text value, with text being the preferred option.<\/p>\n | Name | Text Value | Numeric Value | For example, to let players with the `moderators` permission level or above be able to use this command, you would specify the following in `keep_it_personal.toml`.<\/p>\n “`toml By default, the permission level is `all`. Note that the permission level overrides permissions set in the fabric-permissions-api.<\/p>\n ### Defaults<\/p>\n The default permission level is 0 which is given to every player. If you wish to control permissions with a permission # External Compatibility<\/p>\n Currently, support for other mods which extend the player inventory is unknown but likely unsupported. Support for Trinkets is currently in progress, however, and other mods may be supported in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is a Fabric server mod which enables customizable keep-inventory rules on a per-player basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":89912,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"keep-it-personal","_minecraft_project_id":"7wfhydEF","_minecraft_author":"funkyFangs","_minecraft_license":"CC-BY-SA-4.0","_minecraft_downloads":2076,"_minecraft_follows":19,"_minecraft_client_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"keep-it-personal.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":44032681,"_minecraft_version_count":24,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T00:23:17.849189Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2025-03-17T04:31:38.958407Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-04-23T00:17:39.461118Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/keep-it-personal","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":89912,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-05T03:14:01+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"4c83d3e5fa1830aa098c03d6d1cba984","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[97,89,126,92],"mod_loader":[99],"minecraft_version":[40,41,38,78,79,80,81,82,83,167,163],"class_list":["post-89911","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-fabric","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-management","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-fabric","minecraft_version-1-21-10","minecraft_version-1-21-11","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5","minecraft_version-1-21-6","minecraft_version-1-21-7","minecraft_version-1-21-8","minecraft_version-1-21-9","minecraft_version-26-1","minecraft_version-26-1-1","minecraft_version-26-1-2"],"yoast_head":"\n
