Item Immunity - Enchantment
A lightweight and essential datapack that introduces the Immutable enchantment. Never lose your hard-earned endgame gear, shulker boxes, or rare items to accidental environmental hazards ever again!
✨ Features
The Immutable enchantment fully safeguards dropped items on the ground from being destroyed by the following vanilla hazards:
🔥 Lava & Fire Immunity
Items will float safely on lava or sit in fire without burning up.

💥 Explosion Immunity
Blocks and items dropped during creeper or TNT blasts remain completely intact.

🌵 Cactus Immunity
No more accidental item deletion when dropping items next to cacti.

Note on Shulker Boxes & Ender Chests (Visual Glint Limitations)
You may notice that enchanted Shulker Boxes and Ender Chests do not display the typical purple enchantment glint (swirling effect) in your inventory or on the ground.
Why does this happen?
- Vanilla Rendering Engine: Minecraft renders Shulker Boxes and Ender Chests using a dedicated 3D Block Entity renderer (
BlockEntityWithoutLevelRenderer) rather than the standard item renderer.
- Bypassed Glint Pass: The vanilla client intentionally bypasses the enchantment glint pass on these custom 3D models to prevent texture glitches, UV-mapping bugs, and visual clutter.
Rest assured, the enchantment is fully active! The Immutable protection works as intended behind the scenes despite the missing visual glint.
Where to Find It?

- Mineshaft: Available on a minecart chests
