Do Items Despawn in Water Streams?

They'll disappear after 5 minutes if left uncollected. It's possible your mob tower trap is inefficient or that the items are getting destroying/stuck along the way. I suggest throwing some items into the beginning of the whole system and following them to the collection point.

How long does it take for items to Despawn in Minecraft in water?

Despawning. Items despawn after 6000 game ticks (5 minutes) of being in a loaded chunk. If two item stacks merge, the timer is set to the item that has more time remaining. The 5-minute timer is paused when the chunk is unloaded.

Do items Despawn in spectator mode?

Spectator presence no longer prevents mob despawning. The inventory hotbar is replaced with a commands window including the ability to teleport to other players or teams. Adjusting fly speed of Spectator mode now works vertically.
