I prefer keep inv but on servers gravestones will always be funny because I get to laugh at my friends while helping recover a grave from a lava lake in the nether

Once you play with a gravestone mod you'll realize how bullshit the vanilla death system is.

Like gravestone mods are the perfect mix between the keep inventory on and keep inventory off.

It helps that you don't have a strict timer and the amount of items you lose isn't rng related. Oh you died? tough luck shit ass your diamond sword just swerved into a diamond pit.

Once again modded Minecraft is better than vanilla

It's worth nothing that the keep inventory off system is not based on a timer that starts the second you die like many people seem to believe

Your items despawn after 5 minutes as long as the chunk is loaded, a.k.a, if you die 10 minutes away from your spawn, you still have a chance to get your items
