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.
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.
