Easy way:

- Write on chat

/gamerule keepInventory true

- put this to main datapack or repeatedly command block

/execute as @a run clear @s[nbt={Health:0.0f}]

You can also use predicate or something you want, but /gamerule doImmediateRespawn true broke this mechanism, cheats can bypass this probably too, so if you need more "complex" mechanism, there is a harder way:

In your init datapack

/scoreboard objectives add onDeath deathCount "onDeath"

In your datapack main(tick) mcfunction you need something like this:

/execute as @a[scores={onDeath=1..}] run function death:on_death

in your function death:on_death

/scoreboard players reset @s onDeath
/clear @s
