R.I.P. - Renamed Items Persist

In older versions of Pocket Edition, renaming items prevented them from despawning. However, Mojang saw this as more of a bug than a feature and ended up patching it.

This datapack makes it so items cannot despawn when renamed in an anvil. Long story short, Renamed Items Persist now!

How does this work? This datapack runs a function every 5 minutes to check for any item with their minecraft:custom_name component changed, and when it does, it resets its despawn timer.

As shown in this GIF, I renamed a Netherite Spear and fast forward time by 10 minutes. The unnamed spear despawned but not the named one.
