However, Mojang has balanced the way Mending works and how it can be earned throughout updates in the hopes of keeping the game sufficiently challenging. That new information has been incorporated into this guide on how to get Mending in Minecraft.

How Minecraft Mending Works
Mending an enchantment that can applied to almost any tool or weapon in Minecraft to increase its durability. When an item has Mending, any experience gained applied to the item’s repair at a rate of 2 durability per experience point. When an item is being repaired, the experience that used to repair it depleted, so Minecraft players not receive the experience that used to repair it. Mending only repairs items in a player’s hand, off-hand, or armour slots; it does not repair items in the player’s inventory.
Where Can I Find Mending Enchantment Books?
In order to put a mending enchantment on an item, players have to first come across a mending book. This means that players have to buy, find, or loot these books instead.
- Fishing – Mending enchantment books can fished up from water sources just like fish in Minecraft. While some consider fishing boring, it is one of the easiest and fastest ways of getting Mending for items.
- Looting Chests – Mending enchantment books can found in Dungeon Chests, Temples, End Cities, and most other kinds of chests found around the map. If players are already out and about looking for loot, they will most likely find a Mending book or two without any extra effort. End Cities have the highest chance of yielding tons of enchanted gear and weapons.
- Trading – Look for a villager who is a librarian and trade with them. Librarians will trade one random enchantment book for an emerald.
Making a Librarian Villager
If the players are unable to locate a librarian, they can create one. First, separate a Minecraft villager without a profession from the rest of the villagers, then give them a lectern. They will accept the position, and players will be able to trade emeralds for books.
If the captured villager does not have the Mending book trade, players can steal back the lectern, replace it, and then give the villager the Librarian profession. Players will then be able to trade with them again in order to obtain a Mending book.
Mending can be a Librarian villager’s first trade, so there is no need to level up a villager to unlock Mending from a higher tier trade.
Suggestions for Fishing for Repairs
Fishing for treasure in single water block AFK fish farms is no longer possible.
According to Minecraft Wiki, the new requirements are as follows: the bobber must now be in an open water area that is at least 5 by 4 by 5. Every block in this area must be either air, water, or waterlogged.

Minecraft players will need to create an anvil in order to use the enchantment nook. If it does not work, it is possible that the player does not have enough experience to enchant the item they have chosen.
What Kinds of Items Should Players Repair?
Mending is a powerful and costly enchantment. As a result, the choice of equipment is critical. In general, any other enchanted piece of gear or weapon that the player wishes to keep for as long as possible should Mended. Nothing less than a diamond-tier item, on the other hand, should ever enchanted with Mending. Examples of good Mending options include
- Pickaxes Diamond with Efficiency IV and/or Fortune III and/or Silk Touch
- Diamond swords with Looting III and/or Sharpness IV
- Diamond armor with Protection IV and/or Feather Falling IV
- Fishing rods with Luck of the Sea III
- Bows with Power IV
Finally, elytras are by far the most important item players should save a Mending book for. In fact, the first Mending book a player finds should be specifically reserved for the elytra. Otherwise, repairing it will become tedious and difficult very quickly.
