I haven't messed with it at all, but if you drop an item on the ground, say a knife, will it despawn after a certain amount of time or moving so far away? Or will it stay there? I ask because i was going to have a friend try a map I made and thought if i left some items around for him to find by chance, that it would be cool.

Dropped Item Despawn?

Items like tools, ores and ingots will despawn after a certain amount of time.
To keep stuff around you should use a chest, barrel or present(gift box) to put items inside of it.
You can find these objects in the Sawbench dropdown to "Chests" for the chest and barrel.
and dropdown to " Decoration" for the present.Hope i answered the question
Happy gaming!
