Stats Keeper (Fabric)
Death in Minecraft can be punishing, especially when you lose hard-earned stats like your maximum health or saturation level. The Stats Keeper (Fabric) mod offers a flexible solution, giving you complete control over which player statistics reset upon respawning and which ones you get to keep. Whether you are running a hardcore survival server or simply want a less frustrating single-player experience, this lightweight Fabric add-on transforms how the game handles death penalties.
What Does Stats Keeper (Fabric) Do?
By default, Minecraft resets a wide range of player data when you die. Stats Keeper (Fabric) intercepts that process and lets you decide exactly what to preserve. You can maintain your hunger bar, saturation level, experience points, or even custom health values added by other mods. The mod is highly configurable, making it a must-have for modpack creators and players who enjoy tailoring every aspect of their survival journey.
Core Features and Customizable Stats
The mod focuses on granular control. Instead of a simple keep-inventory toggle, you can fine-tune which attributes persist through death. Key configurable stats include:
- Hunger and Saturation: Never start a new life starving again.
- Health and Max Health: Retain your current health or modified maximum health from other mods.
- Experience Levels and Points: Keep your hard-earned XP after an unfortunate creeper encounter.
- Status Effects: Choose whether potion effects carry over or get wiped clean.
- Air Supply: Useful for underwater builds or exploring ocean monuments.
All settings are managed through a straightforward configuration file, so you can tweak the behavior without needing to touch any code. The mod also respects other mods that alter player attributes, ensuring compatibility with popular health and RPG systems.
How to Install Stats Keeper (Fabric)
Getting started is simple, even if you are new to modding. Follow these steps to add the mod to your game:
- Install the Fabric Loader for your desired Minecraft version. The mod supports modern releases like 1.20.1 and 1.19.2.
- Download the Fabric API and place it in your
modsfolder. - Download Stats Keeper (Fabric) from a trusted source and move the
.jarfile into the samemodsfolder. - Launch the game using the Fabric profile. The mod will generate a default configuration file on first run.
If you use a custom launcher like foxygame.net, you can often find Stats Keeper (Fabric) in the built-in mod catalog, allowing for a one-click installation that automatically handles dependencies and version matching. This makes it incredibly easy to keep the mod updated alongside your other Fabric add-ons.
Configuration and Customization
Once installed, you can find the configuration file inside the config folder of your Minecraft directory. The file is named statskeeper.json and contains a list of every stat the mod can manage. Each entry has a simple true or false value. Setting a stat to true means it will be kept on death; false means it resets as normal. You can also add custom stats from other mods by including their registry names.
For example, if you are using a mod that adds a mana system, you can add that stat to the configuration to prevent mana loss on death. This level of integration makes Stats Keeper (Fabric) an essential tool for modpack creators who want to balance difficulty without frustrating players.
Why Use Stats Keeper (Fabric) Over Other Solutions?
While some mods offer a blanket "keep inventory" option, Stats Keeper (Fabric) provides unmatched precision. You can keep your hunger and experience but still drop your items, creating a balanced hardcore-lite experience. The mod is also server-friendly; it works purely server-side, so players joining your server do not need to install it themselves unless you want them to have client-side features like the health overlay.
Perfect Pairings with Other Mods
Stats Keeper (Fabric) shines when combined with mods that add permanent health upgrades or complex stat systems. For instance, pairing it with a mod that grants extra hearts after defeating bosses means those hearts won't vanish on death. The mod also works seamlessly with visual health indicators, so you can always see your modified health bar clearly.
