Keep Inventory Tax

Keep Inventory Tax adds a configurable XP penalty when a player dies while keepInventory is enabled.

By default, dying will cut the player's XP in half, making keepInventory feel less overpowered while still keeping its convenience.

Features

• XP penalty on death
• Fully configurable behavior
• Config stored inside the world folder
• Supports config reload with /reload

Default Behavior

With the default settings, when a player dies while keepInventory is active:

• their items stay with them,
• but their XP is reduced by 50%.

This adds a simple and balanced cost to using keepInventory.

Config Options (1.21+)

• Penalty enabled
  Default: true

• Penalty loss percentage
  Default: 0.5

• Random penalty between two values
  Default: false

• Global chat message shaming the dying player about XP loss
  Default: false

• If killed by another player, give the penalized XP to the attacker
  Default: false

• Lose items enchanted with Curse of Vanishing
  Default: true

Why use this mod?

keepInventory is useful, but it can remove most of the risk from dying.

Keep Inventory Tax brings back a consequence without making death too punishing.
It is a lightweight solution for players and servers that want a better balance between convenience and survival gameplay.
