Infinity and Mending
by aurum
Infinity and Mending lets a bow carry Infinity and Mending together, through a crafting recipe and an anvil combine step.
What it does
The mod adds Mending Book and Infinity Book items, which can be applied on an anvil to a bow. A special crafting recipe combines both enchantments onto a single unenchanted bow, so players do not have to choose between a bow with Infinity and one with Mending. Enchanted books can also be dropped by mobs, giving players a way to collect them without trading.
The enchantments can be combined in a fixed order, so a bow is first made with one and then given the other on the anvil. The data also includes a datapack that handles the crafting recipes, so the server must run the mod while clients may add it for the same recipes, and players connect without installing anything.
Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, on game versions 1.13 – 26.3 with 51 release versions. The latest file is 4+mod for 26.3, released 2025-04-21.
