Which items take Curse of Binding
None: treasure enchantments never come from a table.
Helmets, chestplates, leggings, boots and elytra: an anvil adds it.
The table offers an enchantment only on its primary items; an anvil can add it to anything that can hold it. See every enchantment an item can hold in the max enchantments by item tool.
Conflicts
Nothing: Curse of Binding combines with every other enchantment its item can hold.
Where to find Curse of Binding
It rides along with random enchantments: librarian trades, fishing treasure and chest loot that rolls random enchantments can all include it.
Power window per level
A table roll picks the highest level whose window contains the roll’s modified enchantment level. These are the registry’s min_cost and max_cost, not the level cost shown on the table.
| Level | Min | Max |
|---|---|---|
| Curse of Binding I | 25 | 50 |
Anvil cost
An anvil charges ×8 per level when Curse of Binding comes from another item and ×4 per level when it comes from a book, so adding Curse of Binding I from a book costs 4 levels before any prior-work penalty. Work out a full combine in the anvil cost calculator.
Command
Hold the item in your main hand and run this with cheats on. /enchant refuses an item that can’t hold Curse of Binding and any level above I.
