Curse of Vanishing Enchantments – Wiki Guide
This Minecraft tutorial explains the Curse of Vanishing enchantment with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
Background
The Curse of Vanishing enchantment lets you curse an item in the game. When an item is cursed with this enchantment, the cursed item will disappear when a player dies in the game (instead of being dropped after the player dies).
You can add the Curse of Vanishing enchantment to any tool, weapon or armor using an enchanting table, anvil, or game command.
The maximum level for the Curse of Vanishing enchantment is Level 1. This means that you can only enchant an item with up to Curse of Vanishing I, and nothing higher for this enchantment.
TIP: The cursed item does not have to be worn or held for the Curse of Vanishing to work. Any cursed item in the players inventory will be lost when the player dies even if you have the gamerule keepInventory set to true!
