    Brief Description: Pumpkins despawn noticeably faster than other items (around 15 seconds)

    Instructions:farm or drop pumpkins

    How many times did you recreate this?:a town resident was complaining they couldn't farm pumpkins and I noticed it was due to despawning before they could collect them.

    Result: Pumpkins despawn before a player has time to collect them.

    Expected Result: despawn time closer to other crops

    Evidence:

    Pumpkins de-spawn the same way they always have on ECC.
    Nothing has been changed.

    Pumpkins along side a few other items (listed below) despawn 6 times faster than other items.
    Code:
    acacia_leaves
    andesite
    azalea_leaves
    bamboo
    birch_leaves
    cactus
    cherry_leaves
    cobblestone
    dark_oak_leaves
    diorite
    dirt
    flowering_azalea_leaves
    granite
    gravel
    jungle_leaves
    kelp
    mangrove_leaves
    melon_slice
    netherrack
    oak_leaves
    pale_oak_leaves
    pumpkin
    red_sand
    sand
    scaffolding
    short_grass
    spruce_leaves
    sugar_cane
    twisting_vines
    weeping_vines
    
    Any changes to this would have to go into the suggestion forum as it alters the way ECC has always been.
