Reddit user Punkfever found diamond leggings enchanted with Protection 4, Thorns 3, Unbreaking 3, and Mending 1, but also with Curse of Vanishing 1 and Curse of Binding 1. Players can enchant their items using books with different effects, with someMinecraftenchantments better suited for armor. This is the case with the enchantments on the leggings found by the player, which offer damage reduction and reflection, as well as higher durability. The twist, however, is in the curses, which make the item enchanted with Curse of Vanishing disappear when the player dies. Meanwhile, the Curse of Binding prevents items from being unequipped unless they break, the player dies, or they enter Creative mode.

Punkfever didn’t say where they found the incredibly powerful and cursed leggings. The image shows, however, the item together with others such as coal, a music disc, and some glow berries. The player’s post has gained plenty of attention with various reactions. Some Redditors found the player’s bad luck funny, while one player suggested new curse ideas forMinecraft. More than one comment also said that the item isn’t useless, and suggested using netherite to improve the diamond leggings. For years diamond gear was the best in Mojang’s game, but that changed in 2020 whenMinecraftintroduced netherite ore.

Minecraft’s enchantments add a layer of challenge, as some are rarer to obtain than others. Another aspect that enriches Mojang’s game is that to level up enchantments,Minecraftplayers must grind experience and items. The player who decides toexploreMinecraft’s enchantment systemcan obtain a range of effects such as fire protection, additional loot from mobs, and reduced fall damage.
