Benefits of using keep inventory in Minecraft
Before we explain how to activate this command, it is important that you know the benefits of using it in your world. The first, and most obvious, is that you will not have to worry about losing your diamonds and other important items when you are mining away from your home, something that when it happens causes many players to stop playing for a while.
Another reason to use the keep inventory is that it can be turned off and on at any time in your single player world. So, if you are someone who enjoys the tension of traversing the map with an inventory full of diamonds and ores, you can use the keep inventory momentarily, when building a new house or something like that, and then turn it off. Now that you know the benefits of using it in Minecraft, let's get to the step by step.
