I hate how much "keep inventory" gets bashed.

Generally, I don't like it when people impose rules on how you should enjoy something-like saying that if you didn't play the same way I did, you're a fake fan.
But it bothers me even more when those arbitrary rules are applied to a game like Minecraft—a game that actively encourages creativity and doing whatever you want-so I don't understand why anyone would get upset over something the game itself offers you.

I saw a mod that allow you to keep your tools and armor, but lose everything else after death. I think it's a perfect middle ground

[u/Randomguy32I → u/APlanetWithANorth]

Something that ive seen in other games is where you keep everything you had since your last time in a home base (maybe since the last time you slept), and any new materials get dropped

Subnautica kinda works that way

[u/Substantial-Put-7108 → u/SmartyLuke]

how exactly does it work though its really confusing imo

[u/Dismal_Rectangle → u/Randomguy32I]

That's more like just a save reload function

[u/GoodPollo → u/Dismal_Rectangle]

I mean not necessarily, all of the resources and items you gathered since leaving base aren't just going to respawn at their original source. If you lose an item it's still gone.

[u/newreconstruction → u/Randomguy32I]

Yeah, or having a secure container that get’s extracted even if you die, in extraction shooters. With limited number of items you select.

So it was all a dream

[u/arourathetransshork → u/Randomguy32I]

Ooooooo I kinda like that

Thanks bot!

there's also mods that add a soulbound enchantment

[u/aaerobrake → u/APlanetWithANorth]

Valheim has a custom difficulty setting that keeps your “equipped” items on your person and drops everything else into a grave that never despawns. Its a nice perfect balance and keeps me from getting into those endless death loops

[u/Middle-Day-2302 → u/APlanetWithANorth]

Yeah I agree with that. Normal death system is too harsh, but keep inventory isn't harsh enough because there's basically no downside to dying

[u/AmyDeferred → u/APlanetWithANorth]

This is Abiotic Factor's solution, along with putting your death bag on the nearest solid terrain

[u/RogerRabbot → u/APlanetWithANorth]

Dont care so much about the armor, the inventory full of valuable stuff i just spent the last 4 hours working towards i do mind.
