Mending, a sought-after enchantment in the expansive world of Minecraft, offers players a unique advantage by allowing them to repair their tools, weapons, and armor using experience points. When equipped with a mending-enchanted item, players can effortlessly restore its health and durability while collecting XP, thereby extending the lifespan of their gear and minimizing the need for manual repairs.
Operation Sindoor
Regarded as a treasure enchantment, Mending is not readily accessible through the conventional enchanting table. Instead, players must embark on a quest to acquire it through various methods, such as trading and fishing, adding an element of adventure to the process.
How to Get Mending in Minecraft
Acquiring the Mending enchantment requires a strategic mindset, as it is not easily obtained through standard gameplay. Here are the primary methods players can employ to secure this coveted enchantment:
-
Trading with Librarian Villagers:
- First, locate or establish a village and assign a lectern to a villager, transforming them into a librarian.
- Continuously replace the lectern to refresh the librarian’s trade offers until the Mending enchantment appears.
- In versions featuring the Villager Trade Rebalance experiment, only swamp biome librarians at the master level will offer Mending books.
-
Fishing:
- Utilize a fishing rod to cast your line in any body of water.
- While there is a small chance of catching an enchanted book with Mending, this method is time-consuming and heavily reliant on luck.
-
Looting Chests in Generated Structures:
- Venture into structures such as jungle temples, strongholds, and ancient cities.
- These locations often contain chests that may hold enchanted books, including the elusive Mending enchantment.
-
Raid Drops (Bedrock Edition only):
- Engage in village raids, where defeating specific enemies may yield enchanted books as drops.
Once a player successfully obtains a Mending book, they can apply it to their desired item using an anvil. However, it is important to note that Mending can only be used once per item and is incompatible with the Infinity enchantment, meaning both cannot coexist on the same piece of equipment.
Among the myriad enchantments available in Minecraft, Mending stands out for its distinctive ability to repair items through XP collection. Although acquiring this enchantment requires effort—whether through trading, fishing, or exploring specific structures—the benefits it provides make the pursuit well worth the endeavor.
