The bug
If you get killed by a ghast (using their fireballs), your items will be killed. This may be caused by the fireball explosion after you die, which is odd because this doesn't happen with for example; creepers.
How to reproduce
Run:
/give @s stone 500Summon a ghast (
/summon minecraft:ghast) and pressF3+C(to save coordinates).Let the ghast kill by shooting fireballs at you.
Return by pasting in the command you saved earlier.
→ ❌ All your items are gone

Can confirm this bug still exists in release 1.12.2. This bug is causing me some serious problems and I would love to see it fixed.
Can confirm in 1.17.1. This is not affected by the mobGriefing gamerule. Relates to MC-206922.
Affects 23w31a. This does not happen in the spawn chunks (and presumably not in forceloaded chunks either).
heya, not an admin, this is probally because ghast fireballs explode, causing your items to also explode, which removes the item. if you can, try and place a platform that is blast resistant, and hold a shield (or dodge the fireball) to prevent your items from being killed, and preventing you from falling. i am giving advice because i am a player, not an admin. hope this helps!
The gamerule
doMobGriefinghas probably no effect on this. When a fireball collides with an entity it deals additional damage before exploding.
