There really needs to be a Gravestone mod adjacent feature

Obviously dropped items need to despawn for performance sake, but losing my 15 blaze rods and ancient debris to fall damage of all things is nothing short of ridiculous. There should really be an entity or block placed on death that stored the player's items. That way, I don't have to walk 5,000 blocks through the world after death, only to find that half of my items are gone, and I need to kill 6 sweet baby Piglins to get the other half back. (They grabbed them all LOL)
