Totem of Keeping

The Totem of Keeping is a craftable item that provides temporary protection for your inventory. When held in either your main or off-hand at the moment of death, it activates a special preservation effect that prevents item loss, similar to enabling the keep inventory gamerule. The totem is consumed during this process and the protection automatically deactivates once you successfully respawn.

How It Works

This totem operates through a smart mechanism: when your character dies while holding the item, it instantly enables inventory preservation, allowing you to respawn with all your equipment and items intact. After revival completes, the protective effect automatically disables, restoring the standard game mechanics where death normally results in inventory loss.

Key Features:

• Crafting: Can be created from readily available in-game materials
• Activation: Simply hold the item in either hand when you die
• Single Use: The totem is consumed after successfully triggering
• Automatic Rules Management: No need to manually toggle game settings - everything happens automatically
