Curse of Vanishing is an enchantment that causes the item to which it is applied to disappear upon death.

Curse of Vanishing is a treasure enchantment that can be obtained from fishing, raid drops‌^{[BE only]}, and trading with a librarian of any level (or if the "Villager Trade Rebalance" experimental datapack is enabled, a swamp librarian). It can also generate in the loot chests of desert pyramids, strongholds, ocean ruins, woodland mansions, pillager outposts, ancient cities, mineshafts, monster rooms, and jungle pyramids; it can also be drawn from the vaults in trial chambers.

When an item enchanted with Curse of Vanishing is in the inventory of a player who dies, it does not drop on the ground, but is removed from the world entirely. However, the item does not vanish if it is dropped manually or if it is placed in a container before death.

This curse does not activate when the cursed item is stored in a shulker box or bundle^[1] or when the keepInventory gamerule is set to true.

Curse of Vanishing cannot be removed by a grindstone or a crafting table. However, if the cursed item is a block, placing it will remove the curse.

If an item dropped by a mob (such as a zombie or skeleton wearing armor) has Curse of Vanishing, the enchantment works as normal.

Of all enchantments in the game, Curse of Vanishing is compatible with the greatest number of different item types. It can be added to any type of item which can be enchanted at all, including compass and carved pumpkin.

The effect is insignificant in singleplayer Hardcore mode for players (though not mobs) because death is permanent, so no items can be retrieved after dying.
