Grindstones are a handy way of repairing and refining your tools in “Minecraft,” helping you increase a tool’s durability and remove any wear and tear from regular use. They’re also used to remove existing enchantments on an item, giving you a blank slate and returning the enchantment cost so that you can customize your tools as needed.
The fact that grindstones can remove enchantments leads a lot of players to believe it can remove curses, but this sadly isn’t the case. As pointed out by PCGamesN, this process has very little effect on cursed items, in fact, as it doesn’t even repair existing damage to a tool if there’s a curse attached.
This myth that grindstones can remove curses is pretty easily disproved by simply testing it out yourself. If you’re unfortunate enough to find yourself with a cursed tool, you can try putting it to a grindstone to remove the effects. Chances are, you’ll remove any other enchantments you have attached to it, but the curse itself will remain intact.
