​Option in settings to customize item despawn time

​I suggest adding an option in the settings menu to adjust or change the item despawn time. ​Currently, dropped items despawn after 5 minutes, which makes it difficult to recover your belongings after dying far away. This would also be extremely helpful even with Keep Inventory enabled, because when a creeper explodes and destroys chests, many items are lost before players can re-organize them within the strict 5-minute limit. Allowing players to customize this timer would give everyone enough time to recover their items in these situations.

    This also works the other way. We can decrease the limit in a realm to prevent prolonged server lag due to many dropped blocks.
