Mojang needs to increase the time for an item to despawn

:red_parrot: Discussion

So I was building a sky based, about 220 blocks high, all was good until I placed my shulker, forgot I had no space to pick it up, and mined it with zero hesitation, the circle or platform was still in the works, and what do you know, it fell on on the massive, 32 by 32 hole, but for some stupid reason, I didn't follow the shulker because I was panicking outside the screen, the 5 minutes of searching has begun, first minute, nothing, second, nothing, third, paused the game, duplicate world search, duplicate again, re-enact the event, locate spot, go back to my main world, search the spot, nothing, 4 minutes, nothing, 1 minute left, I searched and searched like I'm Blackbeard, nothing, 5 minutes, the shulker box has despawn, it contains, varieties of armor trims that I planed to use in the future, but most valuable of all, my single netherite upgrade, the one I've struggled to get and find was gone, R.I.P mr. shulker box, should've dyed you yellow, gone through the 5 stages of grief in those 5 minutes, now, I'm at acceptance, Mojang should probably increase the time to at least 9 or 10 minutes because, who knows? Maybe one day you will place your shulker 220 blocks high and accidentally break it forgetting that you don't have space for another item
