Usage

An item with Curse of Binding cannot be removed from any armor slot unless the player is in Creative mode, the player dies, or the item breaks. For items without durability or the elytra, the player must die to remove the item, making removal in Hardcore mode impossible. All mobs also follow the Curse of Binding; for example, if wearing a leather helmet enchanted with Curse of Binding, they cannot take it off to equip their preferred netherite helmet if they find one. A player cannot remove the enchantment using a grindstone or crafting table; instead, the item returns to the player, still cursed. However, if the cursed item is a carved pumpkin or mob head, placing and breaking the block removes the curse. If the game rule is set to true, the player keeps the cursed item even after death. In this situation, only breaking the item, if possible, removes it. However, the execution of the commands or is compulsory. Therefore, they can still remove items with Curse of Binding by replacing them. This enchantment does not prevent removal of the affected item from one's inventory unless it is equipped.
