Remove Helmet
Remove Helmet lets a server operator clear a worn helmet from a player with one trigger command, so a Curse of Binding helmet stops blocking the slot.
What it does
Curse of Binding keeps a helmet on the head once it is equipped, and the curse can be hard to shake off during a fight. Remove Helmet adds a simple trigger command that takes the helmet off the player instantly, without modifying items or using external hacks. Players run the trigger from chat, and the helmet is cleared from the head slot right away, which makes it useful against Curse of Blinding strikes that land while the helmet is locked in place.
The datapack is installed on the world server, and it is built to work alongside the Lightweight Compatible datapack. Its single purpose is the removal trigger, so the rest of the game is left as it was. Remove Helmet is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 33 release versions, 1.17 – 26.2, and the 0.1+mod build for 26.2 is the latest file on each loader. Snapshot builds are published as well. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
