#What does Curse of Vanishing actually do?

The Curse of Vanishing is an enchantment that causes an item to disappear when a player dies, instead of dropping on the ground.

This curse is often found on weapons, armor, or tools and is useful in PvP scenarios where players want to prevent their opponents from collecting their gear after death.

#Is there any way to remove the Curse of Vanishing?

Sadly, removing Curse of Vanishing is not possible. The ONLY items that can have their curses removed are pumpkins and mob heads, which must be placed, then broken. The now-picked-up versions of their blocks will be the same item but with the curses removed.

#Does Curse of Vanishing Work With /keepInventory?

Yes. A good workaround for items that have Curse of Vanishing is to use the command "/gamerule keepInventory true", which prevents players from dropping items upon death.

#What is the difference between Curse of Binding and Curse of Vanishing?

Curse of Binding prevents you from removing an item once equipped, unless it breaks or you die. It's mainly applied to armor, trapping players in PvP or adventure maps with gear they can't take off.

Curse of Vanishing, on the other hand, makes items disappear when you die, instead of dropping them. This enchantment is often used in PvP to prevent opponents from looting your valuable gear after your death.
