Item Disappearance Around Edges of Islands

Steps to reproduce

Made many worlds to test out to see if this happened. 1) Planted trees and killed mobs when possible to see what would happen to the item it drops. 2) Cut down trees & killed the mobs. 3) waited a bit to see what would happen to items and loot dropped. all provided the same result. Disappearance.

Describe your issue

When an item falls (not dropped) from an enemy or some sort of material from an object along the borders of an island near the water it disappears after a few seconds if not picked up in time. For example when I cut down a tree that I had planted near the edge of an island all the loot from it went away before I could pick it up.

It's a feature, items disappear if they are dropped at the edge of the sea. Think of it as a waste deposit, since items don't despawn anywhere else.

I suggest to extend the time after items dropped a little bit to be able to take them after fighting, cutting down a tree ...

I would understand that but, When you drop an item on the edge it doesn't disappear also your not allowed to drop anything in the water. As I stated before my report excluded "dropped" items; also I did not mean literally in the water but on the ground itself sorry for the misunderstanding. If the ability to drop items into water is implemented then I would see this as a feature and what your trying to say.

Actually when you glitch an item into the water it doesn't disappear, but when you drop it at the edge it does

This is something that we're going to be tuning as we go along.

We had an issue where items were falling into the water and staying there infinitely, so we adjusted it so they disappear after a few seconds. Unfortunately, with the way we overlap the land with the water, items near the water's edge will sometimes disappear as well.

We're working on reducing the proximity to the water where the items will disappear.

Thanks!
