Can you remove curse of vanishing?

Answered by Robert Dupre

Unfortunately, Curse of Vanishing is an enchantment that cannot be removed by using a grindstone or a crafting table. This means that once an item is cursed with this enchantment, it is permanently bound to it. However, there are a few exceptions and workarounds that can be used to remove the curse under specific circumstances.

One such exception is with certain items like pumpkins or mob heads. If a pumpkin or a mob head is cursed with Curse of Vanishing, it can be removed by simply placing and breaking the head. This action will effectively remove the curse from the item, allowing you to use it without the fear of it vanishing upon death or when dropped.

It’s worth noting that this method only works for pumpkin and mob heads specifically, and it does not apply to other cursed items. So, if you come across a pumpkin or a mob head with Curse of Vanishing, you can easily remove the curse by placing and breaking the head.

Another scenario where Curse of Vanishing can be removed is when it is applied to an item dropped by a mob. For example, if a zombie or a skeleton wearing armor drops an item with Curse of Vanishing, the enchantment’s effect works as normal. This means that when you pick up the item, it will still vanish upon death or when dropped.

In this case, if you wish to remove the curse from the item, you would need to defeat the mob wearing the cursed item and collect it as a drop. By doing so, you can effectively remove Curse of Vanishing from the item and use it freely without the risk of it disappearing.

These are the only known methods to remove Curse of Vanishing from an item. It’s important to keep in mind that Curse of Vanishing is intended to be a permanent enchantment, adding an element of risk and challenge to the game. So, while it may be frustrating to come across a valuable item cursed with this enchantment, it also adds a sense of excitement and strategy to gameplay.

Curse of Vanishing cannot be removed through conventional means like a grindstone or a crafting table. However, there are exceptions where the curse can be removed, such as with pumpkin or mob heads by placing and breaking them. Additionally, if an item dropped by a mob has Curse of Vanishing, defeating the mob and collecting the item as a drop will remove the curse. These exceptions provide some options for removing the curse, but for the most part, Curse of Vanishing remains a permanent enchantment on the item.
