Mojang is implementing major changes to test and adjust the game’s difficulty levels. The patch notes for Minecraft Beta and Preview version 1.21.50.20 show that players in easy and peaceful modes will now keep their experience points, items, blocks, and weapons after dying. This update aims to improve gameplay, particularly for new players.

Minecraft Keep Inventory Feature

In the preview version, players will be able to keep their enchantment levels even after dying. Plus, achievements will still count on easier difficulty settings, even with the Keep Inventory feature. This way, players won’t be seen as cheaters for keeping their items.

The recently updated preview also introduces the Pale Garden biome, the Pale Oak tree, and the Pale Moss block, along with the Creaking mob and its Spawn Egg. It features a new ambient sound system and includes various bug fixes as well.

Players’ Feedback

Mojang is collecting feedback from players who are testing the new Keep Inventory feature in the Minecraft Beta & Preview patch.

The Keep Inventory feature has been highly requested, but concerns have arisen about its impact on the game’s challenge and achievements. Many players, including well-known Minecraft Bedrock YouTuber ibxtoycat, have voiced their criticism regarding this change. Players express a desire for more customization options to tailor gameplay to their preferences, with some suggesting a toggle to maintain the classic experience.
