When a TiC pickaxe falls on the ground, it cannot be burnt, exploded, despawned, or destroyed in any way. You can lose them if a mob picks them up, if they are inside of another item that can despawn, if you die with magnet mode on(dirty cheater), etc.
I never use magnet mode, i class that as cheating, but i do not condemn anyone who uses it, as cheating can vary in different people understanding and i also don't want to get into that debate.
I lost my pick and sword in the nether from a mob attack death. No lava near and no explosion which i saw. Me and another server member went back to try recover my gear as i did not have a back-up plan. He had a witches broom and flew around. There was no sign of my gear. Maybe a mob did pick them up, but there was none to be seen.
All i know is i have lost my gear twice in the Nether, another server member has lost his once. Trust me it does happen and i can not explain or prove why.
I now keep 2 sets as a back-up plan, better to learn from mistakes and try over come each problem Eyamaz throws at us. That what makes this mod pack so great.
