Curse of Vanishing

Curse of Vanishing is a very rare general-purpose enchantment in Minecraft 1.21. Curse of Vanishing destroys the item when you die instead of dropping it, so cursed gear never reaches your grave or the ground for anyone to recover.

There is only one level to it, so nothing needs upgrading — the instant it goes on almost any piece of gear you have the whole effect (Item is destroyed on death instead of dropping).

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

A single-level curse with no scaling. The item vanishes on death even if keepInventory is turned off, and the curse cannot be ground off at a grindstone — once it is on an item, it stays.

Curse of Vanishing is about as universal as enchantments come — it goes on sword, pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe, bow, crossbow, trident, fishing rod, helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots, elytra and mace, which is to say nearly every durable item you own can run it, making it a default consideration on any new piece of gear.

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