Which is stronger, a curse or an admin command? In Minecraft

Hello, Minecraft friends! It's me again, and today we're diving into science. Well, almost. Last time, we discovered that the «Curse of Vanishing» isn't as scary as it seems and can even be useful at times. But in the comments, you gave me such a brilliant idea for an experiment that I couldn't resist.

So, the question of the day is: what happens when you pit two powerful Minecraft phenomena against each other? On one side, we have the sneaky «Curse of Vanishing», which promises to erase your items forever. On the other, the all-powerful /gamerule keepInventory true command, our trusty lifesaver that protects your inventory after death. Which one will win? Honestly, I didn't know the answer either, so let's figure it out together!

Preparing for the experiment

To ensure the experiment's accuracy, I prepared everything needed:

• Test subject: Me. Ready to die for science (but not literally, of course).
• Equipment: A full set of diamond armor and a sharp sword. And, of course, all enchanted with the «Curse of Vanishing». Go big or go home!
• Conditions: Activate the magical /gamerule keepInventory true command in the console.
• Self-destruction method: I decided the fastest and most reliable way was to jump from a great height. Dramatic and effective.
• First thought: «What if the curse is smarter? What if it somehow bypasses the command and my diamonds disappear anyway?» The stakes are set, the tension rises!

The process: A leap of faith (and science)

I climbed a tall tower built specifically for this occasion. I looked down. The ground was so far away... For a moment, I almost regretted parting with this shiny set. But what wouldn't you do for content and answers to Minecraft's big questions?

I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and... stepped into the void. The fall was short but dramatic. Then, the familiar sound of taking damage, a red screen, and the long-awaited message «You Died». It was something else!

Results: What a twist!

I press the «Respawn» button. I appear on my bed and... drumroll... the first thing I do is open my inventory.

And guess what? EVERYTHING IS STILL THERE!

My cursed diamond helmet, chestplate, pants, boots, and even the sword — all intact. The Curse of Vanishing was powerless against the keepInventory command!

Conclusion: The /gamerule keepInventory true command has absolute priority. It literally «freezes» your inventory at the moment of death and restores it exactly as it was upon respawn, completely ignoring any curses. The game simply doesn't have time to trigger the item destruction mechanism because the item never leaves the inventory.

So, if you're playing on a server or in a world with inventory protection, you can safely use items with the «Curse of Vanishing». For you, it will just be a useless label on the item. A fun little game paradox.

I hope this small experiment was helpful for you! Now you know one more Minecraft secret. What other game myths should I test? Drop your ideas in the comments! See you in the game.
