Which items are lost when I'm brought back to life?

Solution 1:

Usually, when you die, the items just drop to the ground. They are not supposed to dissapear.

Offcourse the normal things that can happen to stuff lying on the ground, still happen:

• Spoilables (most foods, meats, lightbulbs) can turn to rot,
• ashes can get blown away,
• meats can be eaten by dogs, spiders,
• food can be eaten by pigs
• flammable items can get struck by lightning and burnt
• gold, stone, flint, nitre, ... can get eaten by rock lobsters
• ...

If you die close to an edge, maybe some stuff could drop off - it happens when you kill mobs, but I haven't seen it happen to myself yet.

So unless you've got rock lobsters around, I'm a bit puzzled to where your gold and stone went.
