Had a total of 3 stacks of diamonds on Xbox and was strip mining. Found an underwater cave with magma blocks and blocked myself off from it. Some water got into my strip and made it to where I had to swim directly into a stream to cancel the water source blocks. When I attempted to swim into the stream I got shot into the wall beside me and suffocated. I got back to the strip in about 15 seconds and then started mining where I had died. Never found any of the stuff in a matter of about 10 minutes. Ended up mining in a 10 block radius of where I died. Great job guys! Love how I lost all my stuff!
If you were inside solid blocks when you died your stuff likely glitched up through the blocks to some open space above (that's how item elevators work). In a situation like that you don't dig around where you died, you look above there.
That's how it works in Java Edition, anyway, not sure about xbox (you posted in the Java Edition section of the forum).

I am not on a realm and it won’t allow me to access my backups... so I can’t really access my previous save files. Came here for help on that matter.
