Mending in the Deep Dark

Having the Mending enchantment in the villager trading loot pool is an unbalanced system right now. Currently in every world I have played online has had a villager that sells Mending for an emerald or two. This is because they purposely zombify the villager, cure it, and get infinite mending basically. It makes the act of creating & repairing tools too easy. I think making Mending an exclusive Deep Dark loot item could be beneficial. This would encourage players to explore the world, and value their best enchant. Even re-working Mending to be less effective would be good as well. Possibly having it repair less than what it does currently per xp orb.

    I think that the effectiveness of the mending enchantment doesn't have to be touched, if the mending enchantment is made only available in the Deep Dark. For now my repairing technique for my tools and armor is to visit my enderman farm which is just grinding for a little while. If the mending enchantment repaired armor and tools slower the grind at the farm would take longer and therefore playing would be more tedious. 

    Still I do agree that the mending book is too easily acquired and that the Deep Dark would be a good place for exclusive access to the book, for example. Of course one could simply NOT zombify and cure the villagers to make mending practically free, but when there is an easy route, the easy route is usually taken even if the easy route is boring at its easiness.
