Curse of Vanishing| How To Find, Use And Remove Spell in Minecraft
Out of several weapons, potions, items, blocks, mobs, and so on, Minecraft chose to update one of their wicked spells.
Yes, you heard that right. Curse of Vanishing is EXACTLY! the enchantment spell I am talking about.
After playing Minecraft for 10 consecutive hours I have learned a thing or two about the vanishing curse.
What is the Curse of Vanishing in Minecraft?
The vanishing curse is one of the treasure enchantments used to curse any item in the game. If a player dies using this cursed spell on any of the valuable items, that specific item will vanish instead of dropping on the ground.
Keep reading to find out more about the vanishing curse enchantment in this guide.
PRO TIP: Use a Minecraft Command Block to get a Spell Book.
What does the Vanishing Curse do in Minecraft?
The Curse used on any items, Armor, Fishing Rod, axe, etc. will vanish completely whenever the player holding the item dies. This enchantment also works for items in the inventory as well. And once the item on which the spell is cast vanishes, it vanishes for good. Even you cannot find the lost item.
The main reason why Minecraft added such enchantment is that you can challenge yourself for not dying. The spell in Minecraft can be used on any item. However, the enchantment can be used on weapons, shields, and elytra as well.
If you are vicious and also like witchcrafts and wizardries then you should try this spell in Minecraft. Besides the Vanishing spell, Minecraft also added one more contradictory treasure enchantments to reduce the paranoia which is called the Curse of Binding. It is a bad enchantment.
You can either collect the enchantments using the buried treasures, loot chests, fishing or even trading with villagers.
You might have thought that the vanishing spell is something related to disappearing yourself.
No need to feel ashamed of, I myself thought the same when the enchantment first took place in Minecraft. However, it is a vanishing spell but only used on items and armors.
Normally, when you die in Minecraft world accidentally or intentionally, the held items in your inventory are dropped into the ground.
If you are in Multiplayer mode then, other players will definitely take advantage of your demise and collect your precious items. Change the Minecraft Difficulty level to deal with them.
Let’s cut to the chase:
To stop other players from taking your valuable items, the curse is cast. If on any item the curse of the vanishing spell is applied, that item will disappear for good and cannot be collected by your enemies.
Add the Cursed spell using an enchanting table, anvil, or game command. Also, you have to die in order to make the vanishing enchantment to work properly.
Let me provide you with a perfect example of your ease.
If you use the enchantment on armor, the armor will completely disappear when you die. Frankly speaking, this spell works only when specific ingredients are provided to it (more on that later).
The maximum level for using the vanishing spell in Minecraft is Level 1. So, you can only use the spell in any one item. You can’t use it on multiple items. So, you can say this as the drawback of the enchantment.
The item that is cursed need not be held by the player. Even if the gamerule keepinventory is set to true, the item will vanish instead of dropping on the ground as soon as the player is dead.

How to Find the Vanishing Enchantment Book
Finding the enchantment book does depend on your luck. However, the Easiest way to get the vanishing book is trading with a Village Librarian. You just need to set up some bookcases and a lectern in order to trade the enchantment books with the village librarian.
However, in Minecraft Bedrock Edition, you cannot get the enchantment easily. Either you have to use a third-party software or, convert Xbox one edition world to Bedrock Edition that has the curse.
Here are some ways to find the Vanishing Enchantment Book:
1. Use the Enchantment Command
If you are in Minecraft JAVA edition (PC/MAC), then using the Minecraft Enchantment Commands will help you get the book of curse easily.
Here is the command for vanishing enchantment:
/enchant @p (player name) vanishing_curse 11
NB: Here 11 denotes the number of books wanted.
2. Trade with a Village Librarian
After the enchantment commands, the best way to find the book is via. trading. If you have some bookcases and a lectern then, go near a village and find a librarian willing to trade the items for a vanishing curse spellbook.
So, this step is easy and also affordable because you just need only a lectern and some bookcases.

3. Try Fishing in the River or Find Loots in Underwater Ruins
There is less chance of finding a Minecraft Vanishing Book while Fishing. It’s about 2%. However, looting in Ruins can give you a higher chance of finding the enchantment book.
As I said earlier, the treasure enchantments will be found naturally. It’s just a matter of time and luck.
Loot for Temples (Desert Temples, Underwater Ruins) and Dungeons for the enchantment books.
After you get the Vanishing enchantment book in Minecraft, you can now use the curse on items intentionally for pranks or for death. Just kidding.
You can also find a spawn chunk in Minecraft to gather the important loots at once.
How to Use the Minecraft Curse of Vanishing Enchantment on Any Item
You can use the Minecraft cursed spell on any of the items including fishing rod, Armors, Stone pickaxe, Diamond Shovel, and so on.
As a matter of fact, the items to enchant with the curse seems to be endless.
How to use the Enchantment for Minecraft Curses?
You need three things for the vanishing enchantment recipe:

How to Remove the Curse of Vanishing Spell from Any Item
The effect of the spell can be nullified in different ways. One is by placing the cursed item into a shulker box and the other is setting the keepinventory gamerule to true. Also, there are some other methods like combining the cursed item with another item from the crafting interface or using the grindstone.
You may think that the spell cannot be undone. There are some 100% working ways of getting rid of the wicked spell.
You can also call this process White Magic. Whatever!
Here are some useful ways to get rid of the vanishing enchantment from any item:
1. Combine the Cursed Item with the Same Item But Un-enchanted
The curse can be undone with this simple crafting trick.
All you need is the cursed item and that similar item but not cursed.
Open up the Crafting Table and place the cursed item and the identical another un-cursed item. You will see that the Curse Vanishes itself repairing the damage all by itself.
Merging the two items will not only remove the spell but also repair the damage of the item like Armor, Diamond Sword, and so on.
2. Enable the Keep Inventory
Enabling the Keep Inventory disables the curse for good, making the wicked enchantment totally useless. Frankly speaking, I don’t know about the Bedrock Edition but in PS4, this step works completely fine.
You should give a try in JAVA or Bedrock Edition and do let me know whether this step worked for you guys or not.
In the Keep Inventory, you will see an option called gamerule. Set it to True and the curse of vanish in Minecraft won’t be of any good.
If you don’t have keep Inventory, then don’t worry at all. Use the other methods to easily remove the MC Cursed enchantment.
3. Use a Grindstone
Grindstones are used on tools or weapons to remove enchantments but not curses. However, if you use a grindstone on any tool it appears that all enchantments applied to that tool vanish alongside the curse in Minecraft.
On the other hand, some Minecrafters also found this step un-effective.
But, don’t worry. You can use a grindstone on a fishing rod to remove only the vanishing curse but not other enchantments as well. You now need to know how to do so.
Go through our separate post on how to allocate more RAM to Minecraft for a smooth gameplay.
How to Remove Vanishing Enchantment Curse on Fishing Rods in Minecraft
The Best way to remove the enchantment on fishing rods is to use a grindstone.
Many Minecraft players have experienced it on Fishing rod. And for the majority don’t know how to remove the curse from the item.
Use the grindstone and place the cursed fishing rod at the bottom slot and the un-cursed fishing rod at the upper slot. If the curse is on the bottom fishing rod, it will vanish and you will remove the vanishing enchantment on a fishing rod.
The curse on the second item (lower slot item) disappears while repairing in a grindstone.
This step is really effective and so I would recommend you to try this step if you are facing vanishing curse in Minecraft on Fishing Rods especially.
What are the Differences Between The Curse of Binding and The Vanishing Spell in Minecraft?
The key difference between the Curse of Binding and vanishing is that Curse of Binding is a rare spell used on Armor for preventing the player to remove it. However, the armor can only be removed if it gets damaged or if the player dies. On the contrary, the Cursed spell is the enchantment used on any item to get vanished after the player dies.
The purpose of both the treasure enchantments is limited and useful in many ways. However, I am not a big fan of these banes but…
These spells are a unique gift in Minecraft. So, why not use them? The curse of Binding helps the player to stick with the armor enchanted with. This is helpful if you are trolling players.
Use the Curse of Binding Spell in a pumpkin and convince other players to wear it. Looks like the player is going to be dead with an annoying vision if you make them wear the cursed pumpkin.
So, it’s better to think twice before wearing any objects in multiplayer mode.

More tricks to come, if you stick around.
Besides, both the enchantment spells can be obtained by trading, fishing, looting from chests, and even digging up the buried treasure.
Here are some secret uses of the Vanishing Enchantment:
1. Use the Vanishing curse on expensive items of other players and kill them for punishing them so that their items like rupees, arrows get vanished permanently and they have to again buy the stuff.
2. If you have a super-powerful sword but also at the same time you know you are risking your life on an adventure, then use it on a sword for securing the item from other players.
3. The coolest secret so far is, the Vanishing Book itself doesn’t vanish when you die. It remains there.
Also, you may want to know some secrets about the binding enchantment. So, here are some secret uses of using the Curse of Binding:
1. Use it to distinguish the team colors (only if you ally with others) as the armors cannot be removed. Also, they cannot cheat by changing teams (if you want to play mini-games on your Minecraft server).
2. Use it on frost walkers to stop players from diving underwater.
3. Use the enchantment on a Slow Boots for mechanical trolling (just for fun).

Minecraft Гайд проклятия исчезновения и привязки
Minecraft – популярная видеоигра, которая была разработана студией Mojang AB. Жанр игры — песочница, что означает, что игроку предоставлена полная свобода действий, распоряжаться которой он может по собственному усмотрению. Данный проект нацелен на творческих игроков.
В Minecraft можно изменять игровой мир, перемещая блоки, из которых создан весь мир игры, и тем самым создавая уникальные сооружения и даже целые карты. Геймплейная составляющая игры как раз и состоит из изменения структуры ландшафта, создания предметов, и конструирования, на основе полной свободы действий, новых приключений. В игре присутствуют два режима: классический и выживание. В классическом режиме игроку предлагается простое прохождение истории и набор опыта, в то время как выживание предоставляет возможность сражения с монстрами по ночам. Вместе с этим, игроку также предоставляется возможность игры в мультиплеер.
Патч 1.11 для Mac/PC Minecraft
В данном патче были представлены два новых заклинания сокровищ. Заклинания сокровищ — это чары, которых нет в таблице заклинаний. В игровом мире их можно заполучить только путём рыбалки, торговли с жителями в деревне и в сундуках с добычей. Если вам удастся найти их в книжной форме, то вы сможете переложить чары на другие предметы, при помощи наковальни.Из этого патча к нам пришли “Проклятье исчезновения” англ. Curse of Vanishing и “Проклятье привязки” англ. Curse of Binding.
Зачем они нужны и как ими пользоваться рассказываем в этом гайде.
Проклятие исчезновения майнкрафт
Проклятье исчезновения, может быть наложено на броню, Элитру, щиты и инструменты, и заставляет их исчезнуть после смерти собственника. Что означает, что если вы умрёте с предметом, на котором наложено это проклятье, в инвентаре, он не выпадет из вас, а просто исчезнет. Важно и то, что в случае, если вы выбросите предмет из своего инвентаря, он также исчезнет после вашей смерти.
Ещё Проклятье исчезновения предоставляет новые возможности для картографов. Одни карты могут заставить вас не брать важные предметы, несмотря на то, что сам создатель наталкивает на их взятие.
Также в приключенческих картах модераторы могут наказывать игроков, уничтожая предметы после смерти.
Проклятие привязанности майнкрафт
Проклятье привязки, в отличии от исчезновения, может быть наложено только на броню. На доспехи заклинание может быть перенесено только с книги посредством наковальни. Часть броня, имеющая проклятье привязки, не может быть снята с игрока, если он уже её надел. Проклятая часть брони может освободить слот только в двух случаях:
Также, как можно догадаться, ещё одним отличием от вещи с проклятьем исчезновения является то, что такая броня не подлежит починке. Но не спешите расстраиваться, так как это заклинание сокровищ, в игре на выживание вы сможете найти обновку для ваших доспехов ловя рыбу, торгуя с жителями в деревнях и в сундуках с добычей.
Curse of Binding также, как и Curse of Vanishing, может быть полезно для картографов. Так как главной целью картографов является обеспечение игрока предметами и оборудованием, готовым к эксплуатации в любое время, то вариант иметь броню, снятие которой, если возможно, то приводит к нарушению карты, является очень привлекательным для них.
Minecraft Гайд проклятия исчезновения и привязки
В патче 1.11 для ПК / Mac Minecraft представила два новых заклинания сокровищ под названием Проклятие привязки (Curse of Binding). И Проклятие исчезновения (Curse of Vanishing). Что делают эти новые заклинания? Это руководство даст ответ. Сайт с серверами игры можно найти тут.
Заклинания сокровищ — это чары, недоступные через таблицу заклинаний. Вы должны найти их через сундуки с добычей, рыбалку или торговлю с жителями деревни. Хотя вы можете заколдовать другие предметы, если найдете чары в книжной форме.
Проклятие привязки
Проклятие привязки можно найти только на доспехах или в чародейских книгах. И заклинание может быть перенесено только из книги на доспех (с использованием наковальни). Проклятие действует так: как только вы надеваете проклятую часть брони, вы не можете снять ее. Проклятый предмет остается в слоте доспехов до тех пор, пока вы не умрете. Или броня не сломается от износа.
Есть некоторые сферы, где проклятие может быть полезным. Во-первых, так как это заклинание сокровищ, вы можете найти обновление вашей текущей брони в игре на выживание. Во-вторых, способность иметь броню, не доступную для снятия, может принести пользу картографам. Их главная цель — обеспечить игрока определенными предметами, оборудованными и готовыми к использованию в любое время. Особенно когда снятие брони приводит к нарушению карты.
Проклятие исчезновения
Проклятие также предлагает возможности для картографов. Карты приключений в Minecraft могут наказывать игроков, удаляя собранные предметы после смерти. Другие карты могут убедить васне братьпотенциально важные игровые предметы,даже если создатель карты подбивает их взять.
Minecraft — игра-песочница, разработанная независимой студией Mojang AB. Minecraft был разработан с целью развития творчества игроков. Ведь они могут свободно менять виртуальный мир игры, сделанный из вокселей (кубических блоков). Геймплей концентрируется на преобразованиях ландшафта, строениях, обработке предметов и создании собственных приключений. Игра состоит из двух режимов. Классического, позволяющего проходить историю и набираться опыта. А также режима выживания, подразумевающего отражение нападений монстров ночью. В дополнение к одиночной игре, Minecraft также предлагает многопользовательский режим онлайн.
