All that glitters is not gold.

🤔 How does it work?


Craft Fake armor like any other Armor, but use Dye instead of valuable Materials. Fake Armor cam be worn, but provides no Armor. It can be also used to decorate Armor Stands.
Yellow Dye -> 8x Gold
Cyan Dye -> 8x Diamond
Black Dye -> 8x Netherite
Light Gray Dye -> 8x Chainmail
Gray Dye -> 8x Iron
Brown Dye -> 8x Leather
Orange Dye -> 8x Copper

huh... Intresting, the 'curse' CAN be removed! But my lips are sealed on what exploits it. I won't be the reason a loophole is closed! But I will say you don't need a grindstone, smithing table, or anvil to do it...

since v1.3 it is not using curses/enchantments anymore so this now has been fixed. Even if you remove the datapack the armor will remain non-functional.

I don't believe you, I am sure the only way to remove the curse is to delete the data pack

Haha, it looks like a broken Elytra so they will try to repair it, and be really confused because they can't 😂😂
