How do I keep an item upon death?

Question

I'm trying to give myself an item that will keep in my inventory when I die. This is my current command that I got from a YouTube video:

give InstantNuggets compass 1 0 {"keep_on_death"{}}

Unfortunately this command is not working. The error message I am receiving is:

Syntax error: Unexpected "{" at "p_on_death>>{<<}}"

What is wrong with my command? How can I fix it?

You're really close, all you're missing is a :.

give InstantNuggets compass 1 0 {"keep_on_death":{}}

The component in the give command is a json object and as such it requires a : between the key ("keep_on_death") and the value ({}).
