Remove "Mending" from the trading list

And also, maybe patch some trades. Villagers are really easy to exploit as of 1.15, and Mending is such a powerful enchantment. You perfect your god armor and keep it forever, basically. Plus, now that we have andvils and all, I think the enchantment is too valuable to be on the trader list, but a perfect reward for exploration in the form of Mending books.

Edit: Instead of cycling through villagers to get Mending, you oughta be able to find it way more easily through exploration and treasure loot. Ideally, Mending would be tied to certain structures, like End Cities, the Stronghold's library, or some new structure specifically dedicated to it.

    Why? If enough people agree, maybe an option should be added, however not all across the board, for everyone.

    Why would you EVER do that.

    If getting mending from villagers is an exploit then so is getting it from fishing I think it should be taken from both

    I dont think we should remove Mending from the trading list. 0.07% chance. this means that you will have to catch, on average, roughly 1,400 things before catching a mending book. less then 0.1% chance. its almost impossible to get a mending book from fishing. where else would we get mending books? think of this. if we remove mending books from the trading list, how would we get Mending? Fishing we can't, Strongholds we cant, Dungeons we cant, neither as a chest we cant, its literally impossible to get a mending book if we remove it. That's why we cant remove Mending, ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ONE WITHOUT TRADING.

    I feel that a way to fix the brokenness of trading would be to make it so breaking a villager's POI doesn't reset the trade; instead, they will only reset their trades once a day if not trade with.

    They should also give you better books based on your popularity with the village.

    This. Mending suposed to be a late-game reward, not something you can trade for.

    It's a terrible idea. I think maybe increasing the price to 64 emeralds would be a better compromise. It would still be as 'easy' to get, but also require a bit of work. Mending is end-game gear, and I think 64 emeralds would be fair considering this. Plus you'll be passively leveling up villagers as well.

    I don't like the idea because it's already hard enough to get and on the fact of anvils, your gear gets more and more expensive to fix over time. This gets irritating. I spent over an hour trying to get a mending villager. This would be horrible

    Yes! Mending should be exploring only enchantment! Maybe to raplace it, we should make it obtainable trought archeology

    People seem not to like this one, but a few things would help: Make so it is a level 4 trade, and not available as a level 1and make so villager do not reset their trade when you break the work station.

    100% agree. Mending in its current state makes the game way too easy and not fun.

    This would need to come with an update that removes Anvil tax
