Which items take Mending
None: treasure enchantments never come from a table.
Swords, axes, spears, tridents, maces, bows, crossbows, pickaxes, shovels, hoes, shears, fishing rods, helmets, chestplates, leggings, boots, elytra and shields: an anvil adds it.
The table offers an enchantment only on its primary items; an anvil can add it to anything that can hold it. See every enchantment an item can hold in the max enchantments by item tool.
Conflicts
Mending can’t share an item with Infinity. An anvil refuses the combination, and the table never offers them together.
Where to find Mending
Librarian villagers sell Mending books, at double the usual price like every treasure enchantment. It also comes from fishing treasure, from chest loot that rolls random enchantments (dungeons, mineshafts, temples, strongholds and more), and as a book from regular trial vaults.
Power window per level
A table roll picks the highest level whose window contains the roll’s modified enchantment level. These are the registry’s min_cost and max_cost, not the level cost shown on the table.
| Level | Min | Max |
|---|---|---|
| Mending I | 25 | 75 |
Anvil cost
An anvil charges ×4 per level when Mending comes from another item and ×2 per level when it comes from a book, so adding Mending I from a book costs 2 levels before any prior-work penalty. Work out a full combine in the anvil cost calculator.
Command
Hold the item in your main hand and run this with cheats on. /enchant refuses an item that can’t hold Mending and any level above I.
