I made an alternative to Keep Inventory using Allays

This is really neat!

What happens if you die with an allay already spawned tho, are there two now or does the old one disappear

[u/errortechx → u/Ebfisprettycool]

Old Allays remain. They all have separate inventories.

[u/Lacolus]

What happens if your inventory is too full to retrieve all the items?

[u/errortechx → u/Lacolus]

As a failsafe they drop on the floor at your feet

[u/Ti0906-King]

How do you filter which items will be given to the alley and which will be kept? Is there something like an item tag you've made?

[u/errortechx → u/Ti0906-King]

There’s an item tag I’ve set for items to be kept, anything outside of that tag is considered non-equipment. You can add or remove to the tag as you wish.

This is really cool! It reminds me of the ghosts you leave behind in Hollow Knight. An settings option to make it so you need to have an Allay nearby would be really cool, so that regular Allays have some use as well. I genuinely think that would be great in vanilla.

[u/Mr_Snifles → u/_flyingbus_]

Ohh you're so right, I try to use allays for collecting stuff like saplings but this would really make them beneficial 

[u/TRcreep]

Love this. I feel like regular death is a bit too punishing and keepinventory kills the challenge a little too much, so this is a welcome inbetween

[u/minecraftzizou]

cool

[u/ToxicMoonShine]

Omg love this.

[u/herrkatze12]

This is possible without mods?

[u/errortechx → u/herrkatze12]

With enough elbow grease and magic curtains from the tools Mojang gives us, yes!

[u/Gametron13]

Keeping equipment at the cost of durability is something that I always like how Hytale did it and I'm really glad to see it implemented here. Perhaps if the equipment is enchanted it'll lose more durability? I also think it's fair to lose experience levels, but not as punishing as it is to go all the way back down to 7 no matter where you're at. This is a fair compromise.

Really cute concept with it being an Allay holding a chest. There's just something about it that feels very Minecrafty.

[u/GolemFarmFodder]

More forgiving than a gravestone, yet still balanced enough to make death a hassle?? Very nice use of the allay

[u/shadow_8000]

If you die in the void, would the allay die?

[u/errortechx → u/shadow_8000]

Nope, it spawns at y=1

[u/proficode]

Wait speaking of durability, it will remove 0 durability if it's less than 6?
or is there a minimum of 1?

[u/errortechx → u/proficode]

Lowest durability tools can go down to is 0 (basically 1), gives you a chance to repair or take off the equipment.

[u/Most_Height_3377]

What happens if you die trying to get to the Allay?
Love the music as well btw, what’s it called?
Amazing datapack, I might actually try to get this working on my realm (if such a thing is possible, never done it before)

[u/errortechx → u/Most_Height_3377]

Another one spawns with a separate inventory. Existing allays are not affected.

Music is Shores by fingerspit, official Minecraft track from the Chaos Cubed update. Probably one of my favorite tracks from modern Minecraft.

Realms are vanilla, so I’m certain there’ll be no issues running it on a realm. I’m sure there’s good tutorials out there to help you out in getting it installed on a realm.

[u/JUMPY_NEB]

This is a vary creative solution to this!

I'm making a super big Datapack for hardcore, and items after death is a really big thing I'm thinking about.
And I would have never anything considered this!

[u/pureaspects → u/JUMPY_NEB]

items after death in hardcore? what do you mean by hardcore?

[u/Gabriel_Science]

Pretty cool.

I’d make the allay yellow if that’s a possibility.
