Installing

Requirements

• Java 11 or higher
• A Minecraft server running Spigot, Paper or PurPur — 1.16 or below
• The keepInventory gamerule enabled in the worlds you want the plugin to affect
• Vault and an economy plugin — only if you want to use the eco section

info

1.3 is built against the Spigot 1.16.5 API. It is the version to use when your server is too old for 1.6.2 (1.17+) or the current release.

Installation Steps

1. Download BetterKeepInventory 1.3 from Modrinth.
2. Stop your Minecraft server if it is currently running.
3. Locate your server's plugins directory. This is typically found in the root directory of your Minecraft server installation.
4. Copy the downloaded jar file into the plugins directory.
5. Start your Minecraft server. The plugin will create plugins/BetterKeepInventory/config.yml.
6. Enable the gamerule in every world you want the plugin to act in: /gamerule keepInventory true.
7. Open plugins/BetterKeepInventory/config.yml and set up your punishments. See Configuration.
8. Run /bki reload in-game or in the console to apply your changes.

Upgrading from 1.2 and below

The first start after upgrading migrates your old flat config to the 1.3 format automatically.

• Your previous file is renamed to config.old.yml.
• The settings you had are carried over, but all comments and any new options are lost.
• If the rename fails, the plugin logs Moving old config file failed, Disabling plugin! and disables itself. Fix the file permissions on the plugins/BetterKeepInventory directory and restart.

The permission nodes also changed in 1.3 — all .breaking nodes were removed and betterkeepinventory.bypass.all became betterkeepinventory.bypass. See Permissions.

Verification

Run /betterkeepinventory (or /bki) in-game or from the console. You should get the plugin header with its version number and the list of subcommands.

/bki info prints the settings the plugin is actually using, which is the quickest way to confirm your config was read.
