I Died, My Items Didn't (IDMID)
With this mod, all items dropped due to player death will never disappear on their own. No more worrying about the item despawn timer! However, your inventory items can still burn in lava or be lost in the void - mechanical threats remain in the game.
Note: this only applies to items dropped after player death. Normally discarded items and mob drops continue to work according to standard Minecraft rules.
For pack creators, there's a special option: through datapacks, you can modify the force_despawn tag and restore the standard despawn behavior for any items - both vanilla and those added by other mods.
Recommended combination: this modifier works excellently with I Died, My Xp Didn't, representing a balanced alternative to grave mods.
