The server operator will hopefully re-imburse me for the lost items but I did ask if they could somehow insert a one-minute warning about the reboot, or something similar.
Speaking as the admin of a small (4-10 people) server, I keep the option off - and will not use anything like gravestones - because I have seen what happens when you do not. People get much more laid-back around hazards, and then when they lose other things to death (like CC abilities), they start asking for refunds. And then they complain when you tell them that getting sucked into a jet engine is not "the glitchy MC movements" or lag, but their own fault. That and how people start doing things like "I could fly back to my base, but that takes effort. Time to suicide and keep my inventory instead".
And now that I have it off, I have constant requests - often aggressive - to turn it on, "because Minecraft isn't about punishment".
It has gotten to the point where I have a hard time respecting that option or its use in a survival environment.

Getting *accidentally* sucked into someone else's jet engine would be a funny griefing strategy...
The only thing I've ever been accidentally sucked into is a stealth TC Hungry Node. Sure, it sucked (no pun intended) to replace my gear, but it made me more wary and attentive in the wild.
If you're quick about it, you can telepose (BM) one into a friend's basement for a good laugh. Not that I would do such a thing, or course...

Don't the engines get damaged if someone gets sucked in? Seems a pretty expensive trap...

Probably easier(and much less expensive) just to move it with the jar.
PS: this post in no way condones actually doing this to someone as that is an incredibly dick move
funny yes...Sounds about right. Petrochemicals are nasty bastards.

I just turned on keepInventory when I realized MPS parts are far too expensive to lose.
Vanilla minecraft doesn't have things that expensive, and games where you do usually don't take your stuff. I think of it like any other game.
But if I play something without anything like that, then I might turn it off, since I can make replacement tools.
I actually fought a mech(TacticalFrame mod) with a sword instead of my Signalum crossbow. It was...
Fun.
Also, inventory rearranging is not fun.
I might NEI-void mob drops when I die, for some balance.

I no longer use KeepInventory on, as it does make me play more carelessly, from my own experience.
It also lowers the value of my railways and teleportation devices, as well as things that makes me go fastah! (e.g. red paint)
I also do find that losing inventory helps me in the way that I'll now craft newer tools instead of just sticking to the older ones.

Then why aren't you playing creative?True, true. I'm a "filthy casual" - to me, the engineering is it's own reward; dying is just a pain.
Or peaceful?

This is important information I could have used... /lol

I'm not Ninja, but I don't mind fighting mobs. Heck, I even like it. But I don't feel like having to go back for my inventory every time I die, which I do a lot. Especially in early game.
Plus, setting up mob farms are fun.
