What is Mending Enchantment: How to Get Mending in Minecraft? | Esports News – The Times of India

Mending is an enchantment in Minecraft that allows players to repair tools, weapons, and armor using experience points. It is not available through the enchanting table and must be obtained through trading with librarian villagers, fishing, looting chests in generated structures, or raid drops (in Bedrock Edition).

After a decade of development, Roboquest’s developer is calling time on its roguelite shooter: ‘There’s no way we can continue to provide content for players with over 1,000 hours of gameplay’
