keep_wands_on_death: false doesn't work.
Even if you set it for all wands in config and wand settings, it will remain in your inventory when you die.

Paper1.20.1

That it's bound parameter. Set it to false.

Whether true or false, the wand remains in the inventory.
keep_wands_on_death is not working.
I don't want to leave it in my inventory.

I think that config parameter is outdated, it is configured per wand now.

Try /mconfig configure wand override keep false

I heard this on Discord, but it seems like it may be affected by version 1.20.1.

Wand.
It is the default survival wand.

The above command should've worked then.

You can hold you wand and do /wand configure keep false as a test. That will change just the wand you're holding.

If it still stays with you on death, then something else is going on.

If that one drops on the ground, then try /meditor wand base_keep and edit the "keep" setting. Follow the instructions to save those changes and it should apply to all wand types.

I don't think there's anything in any Minecraft version that could affect this behavior, but I will test it out myself if you really can't get it working.

/mconfig configure wand override keep false
/mconfig configure wand override keep_wands_on_death false

I executed the above command, but it didn't work.

What wand(s) are you using? Just the default craftable survival wand?

It worked fine!
thank you very much!
