This guide will show you how to enable the keep inventory on the death option on your server. To do so, we will use a gamerule.

This will mean that players will not lose their items when they die. Instead, they will be respawned with them.

# Enable KeepInventory for Certain Players

If you want to enable the KeepInventory for certain players you can do so using certain plugins on your server.

|| You have to be sure that your server is running on Spigot, Paper, or CraftBukkit! Remember that Vanilla can’t run plugins.

If you add the LuckPerms and EssentialsX plugins on your server you will be able to give the KeepInventory only to some people on your server.

||| [Here](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-set-up-and-use-luckperms-9eqlef/) is our guide for setting up and using LuckPerms and [here](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-set-up-and-use-essentialsx-li3327/) the one explaining the EssentialsX plugin.

||| [Here](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-install-plugins-on-your-server-1yxw90a/) is our guide for installing plugins on your server.

The EssentialsX plugin is providing the `essentials.keepinv` permission node which you can add as permission for a player or group in LuckPerms. This permission node will enable the KeepInventory only for the player/ group it was added to.

||| [Here](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/what-is-a-permission-node-and-how-to-use-it-v596ts/) is our guide explaining what a permission node is.

So you can use one of the following commands:

* `/lp group permission set essentials.keepinv` – to add the KeepInventory permission to an existing group

* `/lp user permission set essentials.keepinv` – to add the KeepInventory permission for one player

This way you can enable the KeepInventory only for a specific player or group of players.
