About this mod Author’s original text

Keep Inventory

Stops How to Fish from dumping your items when you die, get knocked out, or respawn.

What it does

  • Puts your held item back in your inventory instead of dropping or launching it
  • Skips the full inventory drop on respawn
  • If your inventory is actually full, the held item drops at your feet

You can still drop items on purpose, this mod only blocks death/knockout drops.

Multiplayer

The host needs this installed or the server will still drop items. Other players should install it too so knockout looks correct on their screen.

Install

Install with a mod manager, or copy KeepInventory.dll into BepInEx/plugins.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
