How Do I Keep Inventory in Minecraft?
Last updated
Ever found yourself asking, “How do I keep inventory in Minecraft?” You’re not alone! This question has puzzled many players looking to save their hard-earned items from disappearing after an unfortunate demise.
If you’re wondering about keeping your inventory safe in Minecraft, you’re in the right place. Let’s dive into this game feature that can be a real game-changer for players.
The Magic Command to Keep Your Inventory
The simple answer to keeping your inventory after you ‘bite the dust’ in Minecraft is by using a game command. This command is known as /gamerule keepInventory true.
When you activate this command, it tells the game to let players keep their inventory even after they die. That means no more losing your enchanted armor or that hard-to-find diamond sword. This command is a lifesaver, especially if you’re exploring dangerous territories or battling tough opponents.
How to Activate the Keep Inventory Command
To activate this command, you’ll need to open the chat window in Minecraft. Simply press the T key (PC/Mac), the D-pad right on the controller (Xbox One/PS4), or the chat icon on the screen (PE). Once the chat window is open, type /gamerule keepInventory true and hit enter. Voila! Your items will now stay with you even after you meet your untimely end.
Remember, you must have the necessary permissions to use this command in your game world or server. This usually means you need to be the world creator or have cheat permissions enabled.
