To be more specific:
 * If you're in single player mode, and you leave the world, all items left on the ground will disappear forever.
 * If you're in multiplayer and the server is left on, the items will remain. If the server is turned off, for any reason, (Regardless of whether it saves or not) all items left on the ground will despawn.
