The Mending enchantment will repair players' weapons, tools, or armor after collecting experience orbs.

Two durability points per experience points will repair the equipment. For example, if the player picks up 20 points of experience, 40 durability points will mend the equipment. It's a fantastic way for players to repair their most valuable equipment.

If multiple items have the Mending enchantment applied, the mending will be distributed randomly between those items. However, it will not select items that are already fully repaired.
