Some players prefer the authentic survival aspect where `\/gamerule keepInventory` is false, but this can be punishing for less experienced players who struggle with losing their hard-earned items. KeepInventoryShop bridges that gap!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/SU8k3AFNlf0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>## Key Features:<br \/>\n&#8211; **Balance and Authenticity**:<br \/>\nPreserve the vanilla experience with keepInventory set to false while eliminating the frustration of lost drops.<br \/>\n&#8211; **Player Convenience**:<br \/>\nEmpower players of all skill levels with the ability to purchase or earn KeepInventory lives, ensuring their valuable items are always protected.<br \/>\n&#8211; **Elevate Your Gameplay**:<br \/>\nAdd an exhilarating layer of strategic resource management where players protect their inventory and stay in control of their survival.<br \/>\n&#8211; **KeepTotem Upgrades**:<br \/>\nUpgrade normal lives to KeepTotem lives. When you would die, you&#8217;re saved with full health, potion effects, and a flashy totem animation!<br \/>\n&#8211; **Multi-Currency Support**:<br \/>\nPlayers can pay with server economy, emeralds, or XP levels. Server owners configure exchange rates in the config, and players select their preferred currency in the GUI.<br \/>\n&#8211; **Play-Time Timer System**:<br \/>\nReward active players with free lives after a configurable amount of play time. Timer pauses on disconnect and resumes when they rejoin.<br \/>\n&#8211; **Interactive GUI Shop**:<br \/>\nBeautiful inventory-based menus for buying lives, upgrading to KeepTotem, and admin management. No commands needed!<br \/>\n&#8211; **Fully Customizable Messages**:<br \/>\nEvery player-facing message can be customized via `messages.yml` with full color code support and placeholders.<br \/>\n&#8211; **Smart Totem Detection**:<br \/>\nKeepTotem respects real Totems of Undying. If you&#8217;re holding one, it activates first before consuming KeepTotem lives.<br \/>\n&#8211; **Gamerule Aware**:<br \/>\nIf the `keepInventory` gamerule is enabled, the plugin won&#8217;t waste your lives. Vanilla handles it automatically.<br \/>\n&#8211; **Customization at its Finest**:<br \/>\nFine-tune initial lives, costs, timer duration, currency values, messages, and more for a tailored gameplay experience.<\/p>\n<p>![KeepInventoryShopcover](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/a3b1d73a83d7f61dc19899e2a459219feb9b420e.png)<\/p>\n<p>## Dependencies:<br \/>\n&#8211; **Required**: Vault, Economy Plugin (EssentialsX, CMI, or any Vault-compatible economy)<br \/>\n&#8211; **Optional**: WorldGuard, PlaceholderAPI, ProtocolLib<\/p>\n<p>## Configuration:<\/p>\n<p>### config.yml<br \/>\n&#8211; `initial-lives`: Lives players receive when joining for the first time.<br \/>\n&#8211; `use-timer`: Enable\/disable the play-time timer.<br \/>\n&#8211; `timer-lives`: Lives awarded when the timer fires.<br \/>\n&#8211; `timer-duration`: Seconds of play time before awarding lives.<br \/>\n&#8211; `cost-per-life`: Cost of a single KeepInventory life (in money).<br \/>\n&#8211; `cost-per-upgrade`: Cost of a single KeepTotem upgrade (in money).<br \/>\n&#8211; `use-region`: Enable WorldGuard region support.<\/p>\n<p>**Alternative Currency Options:**<br \/>\n&#8211; `allow-emerald-payment`: Allow players to pay with emeralds (true\/false).<br \/>\n&#8211; `allow-xp-payment`: Allow players to pay with XP levels (true\/false).<br \/>\n&#8211; `emerald-value`: How much money 1 emerald is worth (e.g., 100 means 1 emerald = $100).<br \/>\n&#8211; `xp-level-value`: How much money 1 XP level is worth (e.g., 50 means 1 level = $50).<\/p>\n<p>### messages.yml<br \/>\nCustomize all player-facing messages with color codes (`&#038;a`, `&#038;c`, `&#038;d`, etc.) and placeholders:<br \/>\n&#8211; `{amount}` &#8211; number of lives<br \/>\n&#8211; `{lives}` &#8211; &#8220;life&#8221; or &#8220;lives&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8211; `{player}` &#8211; player name<br \/>\n&#8211; `{cost}` &#8211; formatted cost<br \/>\n&#8211; `{balance}` &#8211; player&#8217;s balance<br \/>\n&#8211; `{remaining}` &#8211; remaining lives<br \/>\n&#8211; `{time}` &#8211; formatted time<\/p>\n<p>## Commands:<br \/>\n&#8211; **\/keepinventory** or **\/ki**: Opens the GUI shop.<br \/>\n&#8211; **\/keepinventory lives [player]**: View your lives or another player&#8217;s.<br \/>\n&#8211; **\/keepinventory buy <amount>**: Buy lives via command.<br \/>\n&#8211; **\/keepinventory upgrade <amount>**: Upgrade lives to KeepTotem.<br \/>\n&#8211; **\/keepinventory set <player> <amount>**: Set a player&#8217;s lives.<br \/>\n&#8211; **\/keepinventory add <player> <amount>**: Add lives to a player.<br \/>\n&#8211; **\/keepinventory remove <player> <amount>**: Remove lives from a player.<br \/>\n&#8211; **\/keepinventory help**: Show help.<br \/>\n&#8211; **\/keepinventory reload**: Reload configuration and messages.<\/p>\n<p>## Permissions:<br \/>\n&#8211; **keepinventoryshop.set**: Set lives for others.
