Losing valuable resources after a character's death is one of the most unpleasant situations in Minecraft. If the location is unknown, the chances of finding your items in the cubic lands are even lower! Also, keep in mind that the game does not provide any markers to help locate your belongings.

However, there is a way to keep your inventory in Minecraft after your hero's demise. This article will tell you how.

Done! Now, when your character dies, the inventory contents won't drop on the ground, and everything will remain fully accessible after respawning. However, it may happen that the cheat option was not enabled during world creation. Even from this situation, there's a way out!

Simply open the world for multiplayer. In the pause menu, click on the "Open to LAN" button. In the pop-up window, switch "Allow commands" to "On" and launch the world.

After that, open the console again and type "/gamerule keepInventory true" without quotes. However, if you're playing on someone else's multiplayer server, the command might not work due to permission settings. Simply put, the player may not have the rights for various technical changes.

Nevertheless, nothing stops you from using this useful feature in your own world. By the way, if you're tired of it, you can easily disable it by changing the command's "true" to "false":
