Expanded Bow Enchanting
by SmushyTaco
Expanded Bow Enchanting lets a bow take looting and lets mending and infinity sit on the same bow.
What it does
Enchantments that normally cannot share a bow can be combined on one bow through this server-side Fabric mod. The mod needs Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin and oωo (owo-lib) to run, and Mod Menu is optional. Files cover 1.20.1 – 26.2, and the code is under the Apache License 2.0, so the project is open source.
Key features
Looting on bows
A bow can carry the looting enchantment, which raises drops from mobs killed with arrows.
Mending with infinity
Mending and infinity can be applied to the same bow, which removes the usual conflict between the two.
Server-side operation
Only the server runs the enchantment changes, so players join without installing the mod.

How it compares
Mending + Infinity is a Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt mod that the server requires while clients may skip it, released under All rights reserved and not open source. Qunlifs Bow Additions! targets only 1.20.4 on Fabric with a client and server environment and an MIT License, and it is not open source either.
