ThatsAllFolkes

Same thing happened to me, first playthrough, first death, a few thousand blocks from spawn, managed to walk all the way back and lost all the pelts, fats, bones, and some tools i collected in the few hours i had played so far. enough to make me rage quit, i know the item timer didnt trip because i was able to get the other half of my things so why would some items despawn and not all of them?
