# How to Enable KeepInventory on Your Minecraft Server

Learn how to enable or disable the keepInventory gamerule on your Minecraft server! 

Minecraft comes with a number of different gamerules that you can enable or disable to change your experience. One such option you can change is the ability to not drop your items when you die, so you will still have your inventory contents once you respawn. In this article, we’ll show you how to enable this.

## Using the Control Panel

1. Navigate to your Nodecraft Dashboard.
2. Click the **Panel **button for your Minecraft server.
3. Locate and click **Console **in the menu on the left side.
4. With the server running, type **/gamerule keepInventory true** at the bottom of the console.
5. Press the **Enter** key tto send the command.

You will receive a response similar to:

\[Server thread/INFO\]: **Gamerule keepInventory is now set to: true**

You have now enabled KeepInventory on your server! To disable it again, run this command: **/gamerule keepInventory false**
