I recently took a fall too great in Minecraft and lost all my items - including some valuable items such as Diamonds, Redstone Dust, my Iron Pickaxe, sword, shovel and hoe. I'm wondering if there's some easy way to track down these lost items as I got myself lost while looking for those Diamonds and I don't want to get even more lost than I already am.

(Fortunately I had backups for my iron stuff and if I need to make another one I have iron ingots at my base, but I can't really find that either...)
