Warden Destroys Items

I’m unsure if this is supposed to happen or not, but I died to the Warden’s sonic boom and ALL of my items were gone. Meanwhile, the sculk shrieker I had JUST mined with a silk touch hoe was still floating around and waiting - meaning my inventory items definitely should have still been around as well when I came back within the time limit. If this isn’t a bug, it will make me despise the Warden more than I already do.
