One of the most undesirable situations in Minecraft survival is dying far from home and rushing back to the location of one’s death to retrieve the fallen inventory. Of course, having a bed on hand will resolve this issue. Yet, it can be inconvenient and oftentimes impractical to constantly refresh one’s respawn point. Most adventurers likely prefer to have a fixed bed in their home base where they can bank their loot before any expedition. The various biomes of the randomly generated world are rich with resources, but there is no guarantee players can safely make it back with their haul. Therefore, knowing how to keep one’s inventory after death can be helpful.
Keeping Inventory After Death In Minecraft
Currently, the only way to keep one’s inventory after dying in Minecraft without altering the in-game mechanics is by holding a Totem of Undying, a guaranteed drop from elite mobs known as Evokers. This method does not exactly retain inventory items upon death but will instead keep players from reaching zero hearts for a single time.
