Keep Items Through Death with Soulbound

Understand Soulbound Enchantment

The Soulbound enchantment prevents items from being lost when you die. Instead of going to your grave, Soulbound items stay in your inventory, making them perfect for irreplaceable gear or tools you never want to lose.

Apply Soulbound to Items

To enchant an item with Soulbound, place it in an anvil along with a Soul in a Bottle. The anvil will combine them, applying the Soulbound enchantment to your gear. You'll need to extract souls from graves using empty bottles first.

Upgrade with Experience Soulbound

For even better protection, you can enhance Soulbound armor further. Combine Soulbound armor with an experience bottle in an anvil to apply Experience Soulbound. This upgraded version preserves a portion of your experience points when you die, preventing total XP loss.

Plan Your Enchantments

Focus Soulbound on your most valuable items—weapons, tools, and armor you'd hate to replace. This way, your core gear is always protected while less critical items can rest safely in graves.
