I feel like keep inventory should be added for everyone or ones with a certain rank. Because if your going going to explore the end or nether there is a risk of dying which could result in a loss of good items which you spent time getting. For example if a player got an ancient sword from the chest then decided to go to the end the get the elytra or dragon head but dying due to the block disappearing from under neath him. He wouldn’t be happy. This could replace the /fly that was remove from the current season. Although they are trying to get the survival server more like survival where’s player have to work hard to get stuff. So I feel like keep inventory should be allowed either for everyone or players with a rank and replace the /fly.
I feel like this feature will give items less importance, and make players less aware of their surroundings. I'll use your example if players with ancient swords/ancient gear were to die to the ender dragon and keep their inventory, they'd just /repair all and go right back to killing it. This won't be much of a challenge at all. Players knowing that keep inventory isn't on, would make smarter plays instead of carelessly running around killing mobs and mining. This is just my personal opinion of course, but I disagree with what you're saying.
I think that keep inventory maybe should be a perk from a mythical key, but I do not think it should be added into the game as it is. When they took out fly they made it obvious that they wanted an actual survival experience and not a p2w trash game that no one wants. With this survival experience, it comes without fly and of course, no keep inventory. I feel like this is an appropriate thing especially because of the kits. Immortal kit gives you prot 2 diamond so you will not die easily to mobs, and just because you have /warp nether or /warp end, doesn't mean you should go there right away before you feel prepared. This will eliminate loss of items. Also if you do happen to die you can /back with a certain rank that I do not know off the top of my head, but this allows you to retrieve your items. Yesterday, I fought the ender dragon with a few friends, One person lost their set of gear and sharp 5 because they died. Does this mean we need keep inventory? No survival experience especially on a server that has things unlocked for you already doesn't mean you're ready. If you have never fought the dragon before and think "hey why not do it now" and die you should just get your items back. You need to be more prepared. As this is a real survival experaince -1 for keep inventory they made survival good and I am looking forward to prisons reset.
I personally don't think that Keep Inventory should be implemented into Survival. Without Keep Inventory you always have to be prepared, and with certain ranks you can do /back anyways. This feature makes it easy to get your items back anyways (as long as you don't die in lava, that is). Adding keep inventory would make this perk pointless. It would also end up having players being less aware of their surroundings as they know that they won't lose anything. Having keepInventory and having /back would end up making the game too easy.
Hey To be honest, If you have things like beacons, harvest hoes here’s a pro tip: Don’t bring them to fight the end dragon! Even ancient / mythical gear just take decent armour as you might die. Plus unless you fall in lava or void you can easily /back if you have iron rank+ so let’s say you fall in lava in the nether you can quickly go to /p h and die and not lose your stuff as you can pick it back up. I think the perk we have from mythical keys that is Keep Items On Death except for PVP is fine as it is at the moment. This is just my opinion of course, what do others think?

Honestly if it was up to me, there wouldn't even be a keep inventory perk at all. Losing items when you die is normal in any survival setting. If you're not strong enough to fight the ender dragon, then don't fight him. Always expect and plan for the worst, so you never run into a bad situation you can't handle.
Keep inventory would be a cool perk. However, in PvP enabled areas, this shouldn't be a thing because it further depurposes PvP.
If it was added for donators it would be disabled in the pvp arena, obviously. Though I doubt it will be added, since it's not a "survival"-ish thing to never lose your stuff when you die.
I agree MCC is trying to move slightly less away from p2w which I much appreciate this survival season is a blast and can hardly wait for what is in store for prisons with the new direction MCC is moving in.
As multiple others said before this just wouldn't make since for Survival since with all the new updates they want to keep it as vanilla as possible. I do like the idea for this to be a perk for a mythical key, but I just don't think it will be something implemented. Thank you so much for bringing up the idea!
