Gamerules in Minecraft "Unknown Command" [duplicate]

I'm a newbie to Minecraft, and not a computer whiz, so I fully expect I'm going something wrong here.

I've been trying to use the keepInventory cheat in Minecraft but it always says "Unknown Command" and no options come up when I put in /gamerules (all that comes up is /gamemode). I've been having a streak of getting killed with some awesome stuff in my inventory and I desperately want to keep this from happening again!

I have cheats enabled. Is there something I'm missing? How so I solve this?

From here:

/gamerule

Sets or queries a game rule value.

Syntax

Computer
gamerule <rule name> [value]
Pocket Edition
gamerule <rule: string> <value: bool>
gamerule <rule: string> <value: int>
gamerule [rule: string]

Additionally, issuing /gamerule by itself will list available game rules.

The particular gamerule you are seeking is called keepInventory.

Issue the following command:

/gamerule keepInventory true

You seem to use /gamerules instead of the correct one /gamerule. It is without the s on the end.
