Curse of Binding

Curse of Binding is a very rare general-purpose enchantment in Minecraft 1.21. Curse of Binding locks a piece of armor onto you once it is equipped, preventing you from taking it off until the item breaks or you die.

There is only one level to it, so nothing needs upgrading — the instant it goes on your helmet you have the whole effect (Armor cannot be removed from its slot once equipped).

Curse of Binding exists at a single level only, so there is no scaling curve to climb — applying it to your helmet hands you the complete effect in one step, with no Curse of Binding II to chase.

There is one level and no upgrade path. The curse covers everything you can put in an armor slot — helmets, chestplates, leggings, boots and an elytra, plus carved pumpkins or mob heads worn on the head — and, as with every curse, a grindstone will not take it back off.

Curse of Binding can be placed on helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots and elytra, giving you a handful of choices for where it does the most good depending on how you play.

Curse of Binding has no exclusivity conflicts at all, so you can layer it onto an item alongside every other enchantment that item accepts without having to give anything up.

As a curse, Curse of Binding is never offered by an enchanting table. It turns up only as loot chest, villager trading and fishing, and once it is on your helmet it cannot be ground off.
