Answering this question here for visibility:
The "pinata" as we've been calling it is from the Quark Oddities mod. Here's how it works.
Quote:When a player dies, a Totem of Holding will spawn at the dead player's position. This totem will float around in the air, holding the player's items. Any player can retrieve the items the totem is holding by punching it a few times. (The totem won't spawn for PVP kills)
Do note that if the player who spawned the totem dies again, the totem will break and drop all of the items on the ground, like a normal death. The totem isn't an item - it just shows up for you.
1.18 or Prior: A player's totem can be located by crafting a Soul Compass, which is done using a Compass and a Soul Bead (from Wraiths, in the Mobs category; replace with an Ender Pearl if Wraiths are disabled).
The emphasis on that it's not an item makes me think it probably does not time out. Just get there and don't die again.
