Question is above.
I think it's cheating but not as bad as things are stolen in Gamode 1.
In my opinion, it's a relief for the game and no cheating. For me, cheating is more like when you get items from creative mode without having done anything. With Keep Inventory you simply make sure that you don't lose items that you have worked out for yourself. The best thing is just not to die, then you don't have to worry about it anyway…
Personally, I find it cheating.
I mean… You usually have to get your things back…
On the one hand you have absolutely nothing to lose and thus deaths are actually irrelevant, on the other hand this cheat can save you from a rage (-quit).
I personally play with this cheat sometimes, but not always
I think it's cheating because it makes deaths pretty irrelevant.
You have nothing to lose - so why be careful not to die?
Well, if you die you will be put back at your spawn point and that can be quite annoying depending on the situation. That it makes the game easier is out of the question, but it's not a cheat, because it primarily ensures that you don't lose the fun if you die…
KeepInventory is basically a combination of / tp and / give
/ tp → You don't have to spend time getting there and back and you don't consume food
/ give → If you die in lava there's hardly any of your items to be found, which is why you practically give yourself something
Ease of play? Definitely, but cheating generally makes the game easier and / tp and / give are definitely cheats, which is why keepInventroy is also to be rated as a cheat
Keepinventory is not cheating, but a game-making facility and is only relevant on survival / building servers. In the Singelplayer it doesn't matter, because you are alone and have no other players.
Since no single player can give himself this "luxury", but is determined by the owner and applies to everyone, this is not an unlawful advantage.
Cheating affects only a single player and not the whole and can only be carried out with a hacking client, so the normal player can't.
Keepinventory should only be set if the server is a pure build server and not designed for pvp or similar. In that case keepinventory would spoil the fun.
It is definitely not cheating.
