Do Villagers Trade Mending?
Villagers, specifically swamp librarian villagers, can trade mending, a highly valuable enchantment in Minecraft that allows players to repair items using experience points, with the chance of receiving it being 1 in 106. The process of obtaining mending from villagers involves finding a village, picking a villager, crafting a lectern, and placing it near the villager to unlock their trading options, which may include mending for a price between 10 and 38 emeralds.

To get villagers to forgive you, trading with them is the most effective method, though trading with others nearby or curing a villager from a zombie infection can also improve their attitude towards you.
8. Why Won’t My Villager Accept a Job?
Villagers will not accept a job unless they are linked to a bed, requiring one bed per villager, though they do not need to access the bed to be linked to it.

Mending is one of the most powerful enchantments, allowing players to restore the durability of items using experience points, making items effectively last longer and perform better.

Having both Unbreaking 3 and Mending is not mutually exclusive and is actually desirable, as Unbreaking increases item durability, and Mending repairs it.

The maximum level for the Mending enchantment is Level 1, meaning there is no Mending 2 or higher levels for this enchantment.
12. Is Mending a Level 30 Enchantment?
Mending is not an enchantment that can be obtained at the enchanting table and is considered a treasure enchantment, found in enchanted books, with no level requirement like the highest level enchantments.
13. What’s the Highest Mending Enchantment?
The highest enchantment level for Mending is 1, as it’s a unique enchantment that does not scale like other enchantments such as Unbreaking, which can go up to level 3.
14. How Long Does It Take for Mending Villagers to Restock?
A villager restocks twice per day, once at the beginning of their “work day” and then after the first max out, during the same Minecraft day, with restocking not occurring until the beginning of a new work day if maxed out twice.
15. Can a Bow Have Both Mending and Infinity?
It is impossible to have both Mending and Infinity on a bow, as these enchantments are mutually exclusive, with Mending allowing for item repair and Infinity providing unlimited arrows.
