content: Just lost a ton of items in minecraft I was adventuring and filling out my map when I encountered a (((drowned))). Only armed in an Iron Chestplate (kindly gifted by a recently colonized village) and I was killed in 3 hits. I spent around 20 minutes running all around, searching for the spot which I died, only at the very end to see my horse and items. Overjoyed, I ran toward it only to watch them all despawn before my eyes. Distraught, I got on the horse and decided to look around for a familiar landmark, only to see the spot was only slightly obstructed by a hill from my castle. I had spent all this time searching when the solution had been right in front of me, and seeing everything I have disappear before my eyes showed me the way and gave me the desire to come back.
