I don't die often. But I was killed by an invisible witch and ran back to where I died just seconds later and there was no xp balls, no items, nothing! I lost it all!

Tried setting tiledrops and mobloot to false, but that had no effect.
What items did you lose?
is this survival or creative?

I was in the mines for sometime so not sure exactly, but I can recall loosing the following...EVERYTHING!
Pretty much this...
Full Diamond Armor
Diamond Sword
Diamond Shovel
Diamond Pic Axe
11 diamonds
128+ Redstone Dust
40+ Lapis
Sticks
Water Bucket
Milk Bucket
Several bars of gold (20-30)
Wood
Coal
64+ Iron ore
Bow
Arrows
Food
Ender Pearls
Survival Mode on Realms
I have a feeling my things were invisible.
One thing I forgot to mention is that when I died I didn't see my items or body on the ground like you normally do, so maybe it was all invisible. I'm blaming her potion of invisibility affecting me and my items at this point.

I have never seen a witch use a potion of invisibility before, and it doesn't seem to work on item drops. were you near lava or fire?
If none of this is true, then it is likely a glitch with realms, and in that case I won't be able to help.

Try /gamerule keepInventory true, and also items despawn after 5 minutes (though you probably know that already).

Sorry, I'm new to posting bugs here so I guess I wasn't clear on a few things.
1. This is a "Private Realm" running in "Survival Mode" that I "do not own, nor have any administrative privileges over". Therefore I'm not able to run commands like "/gamerule keepinventory true". I certainly wouldn't be upset over loosing my diamonds if I could.
2. You're correct, I'm aware that items despawn after 5 minutes. That is why I had specified that it was "seconds later".
3. DID YOU KNOW? Items will not despawn if that chunk of the map isn't loaded? I've gone back for items (Both on the surface & nether) upto 38minutes later to find everything waiting for me 🙂
4. Also I'd just like to point out I'm 35 not 9 years old. Chances are anything you suggest I'm already aware of ;P
5. There are no hacks or mods of "any kind" installed locally or server side.
6. I sadly do not have any screenshots or video of this.
Too bad Minecraft doesn't have replay functions like Warcraft/Starcraft.
Cannot confirm.
Anyone else ?
