FAQs about Mending in Minecraft
Can I Combine Two Mending Books to Get Mending 2?
Combining two Mending I books or any other method does not result in a Mending II. The combination of two Mending I books results in nothing, and players will not see a Mending II enchantment available in Minecraft.
How Do You Get Mending in Minecraft?
Mending can be obtained through various means, including:
- Looting from jungle temples, strongholds, and ancient cities.
- Fishing in water sources.
- Rarer drops, found in raid drops.
Can Villagers Offer Mending Books?
Yes, Librarian villagers can offer Mending books as their first trade, which means you do not need to level up a villager to unlock Mending from a higher tier trade. However, note that Mending is solely tradable with Librarian villagers or Master level Swamp Librarian villagers, the latter of which requires trade rebalance or experimental datapacks.
Is Mending Better than Unbreaking?
In many situations, Mending is better than Unbreaking because it allows items to repair automatically using experience orbs. While Unbreaking increases an item’s durability, making it last longer, it does not prevent the need for occasional repairs, which can be expensive, especially with high-level enchantments like Efficiency IV, Fortune III, and Unbreaking III.
Can Mending and Unbreaking Be Combined?
Yes, Mending and Unbreaking can be combined. Unbreaking III together with Mending, is considered one of the ideal combinations. Items having Mending can repair by XP, and Unbreaking will slow the rate at which durability wears out so you can save up XP before you want to break.
Can Mending Be Applied to All Items?
Mending can be applied to a wide range of items, including tools, weapons, armor (except for Curse of Vanishing), and even Elytra and Trident. However, it cannot be combined with enchanted bows with Infinity.
Does Mending Work with Infinity Enchantment?
Mending and Infinity are mutually exclusive. This means you cannot have both enchantments on the same bow. A common workaround is to use inventory slots, but without Mending, the bow will exhaust your arrows.
How Does Mending Affect Experience Gain?
Mending provides durability using experience orbs. Half of the collected experience goes toward the item’s repair, while the other half contributes to the player’s experience levels. This means that while Mending is actively repairing items, players collect less experience for leveling up.
Can Mending books Be Fished Up in Minecraft?
Yes, Mending enchantment books can be fished up from water sources. Fishing is one of the fastest, albeight boring, and easiest way to get Mending. Others prefer to use enchanting guaranteed methods than to be captivated with the usual oceanic fishing.
How Does Mending Work on Armor and Tools?
Mending items in hand or armor slots that are below maximum durability are repaired by experience orbs collected from any source. The rate of repair is two durability per point of experience contained in the orb.
What Are the Maximum Levels for Mending and Unbreaking?
Mending’s maximum enchantment level is 1, meaning an item can only have Mending I. Unbreaking’s maximum enchantment level is 3, applied through an enchanting table or anvil. Curse of Vanishing’s maximum enchantment level is 1, making it a Level 1 enchantment.
Can You Get a Mending 2 Book from a Villager?
Villagers can only offer Mending I books. There is not a “Mending 2” option. Swamp Librarian villagers will be able to sell Mending for no other enchanted items.
How Does Mending Work with Curse of Vanishing?
Combining Mending with Curse of Vanishing makes the enchantment particularly valuable due to the risk-reward scenario it causes. If an item is cursed and the player dies, the item vanishes entirely. If you get killed without Mending, and get unlucky or accidentally fall to your death while wearing Curse of Vanishing, that would imply nothing.
Can a Treasure Enchantment Be Combined with Mending?
Mending and Treasure enchantments are exclusive and thus are mutually exclusive. Lucky Treasure can never be combined with Mending. However, it is still easy to apply Mending alongside Power or Punch on bows to combat.
Does Mending Fully Repair an Item?
Mending fully restores durability for any item in the player’s main hand, offhand, or armor slots that are degraded, by experience orbs collected from any source. The rate of repair from Mending is 2 durability for every experienced point acquired.
Drawing Conclusions
Mending will be beneficial for players’ collections of gear in most scenarios. Having been launched in Minecraft, it remains to be the “must-have” most players will continue to use, despite inconsistencies and updates on powerful enchantment mechanics. Mending is a unique and powerful enchantment that creates a completely different style to how you play and approach the game, so we highly recommend you take the time to try to harvest XP in large quantities to take full advantage.
