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.

  Villagers traded mending before 1.14, and at the time it was not overpowered. It's the new trading mechanics that made it overpowered, so I don't think removing mending from villager trading is the best solution.

  They should give you better books based on popularity instead of lowering their prices imo. Mending villagers used to be valuable before 1.14 but with the new mechanics, they're literally so common. Another way to change it would be to increase the price of rare books to be much higher.

  I don't think it should be removed but I think the enchantments they offer need to keep their rarity. High level enchantments should not have the same chance to be offered as low level ones.

  What is wrong with keeping the armor you worked so hard to obtain?  I think a better option would be to cap the XP cost increase on the anvil to double the cost of the first repair.  That way it still has a significant cost, but it is manageable.
