Curse of Binding Enchantments – Wiki Guide
This Minecraft tutorial explains the Curse of Binding enchantment with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
Background
The Curse of Binding enchantment lets you curse an item in the game. Once a cursed item is worn by a player in Survival mode, it can not be removed until the item breaks or the player dies.
TIP: A cursed item can be removed at any time in Creative mode.
You can add the Curse of Binding enchantment to any piece of armor such as helmets, chestplates, leggings, boots or elytra using an enchanting table, anvil, or game command. Once the cursed item is worn by a player, the Curse of Binding will take effect and the player will not be able to take the item off.
The maximum level for the Curse of Binding enchantment is Level 1. This means that you can only enchant an item with up to Curse of Binding I, and nothing higher for this enchantment.

Move each of the armor items (helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots) with Curse of Binding from your inventory to your character’s armor boxes.
You will see your character’s appearance change as the armor is worn.
Now that you are wearing the enchanted armor with Curse of Binding, you will not be able to remove these armor items until they break or you die.
