1) Frost Walker
Featuring the lowest chance to appear in any available source, Frost Walker is a niche enchantment and stands as the rarest enchantment in Minecraft.
Mending can be increased to II. Only achievable by combining 2 Mending II books, and doubles the durability increase from XP.
With 30 being the highest level required for the best enchantments, it's always better to wait until then. Mending, however, isn't an enchantment you can get at the enchanting table. It's actually considered a "treasure enchantment", meaning it can only be found in enchanted books in various locations around the world.
Trading with a Librarian Villager is the easiest way to find Mending in Minecraft. The easiest way to get Mending enchantment in Minecraft is through a Librarian Villager. Librarians are arguably the most useful villager in the game. They can give all types of treasure enchantment books, including Mending.
This Enchantment has 3 tiers and the chance to get great loot increases with each tier: Luck of the Sea I: 7.1% chance for treasure. Luck of the Sea II: 9.2% chance for treasure. Luck of the Sea III: 11.3% chance for treasure.

Simply put, a Fishing Rod equipped with Mending will never break and rarely (if ever) need to be repaired or maintained. One important note: Mending is mutually exclusive with Infinity. You can either have infinite arrows or a Bow that can be repaired; you won't be able to use both without using cheats.

The way that it works is it uses XP to repair items. Every time a Mending item does something that results in XP (kill a mob, mine a diamond ore, fish something up, trade with a villager), half of the earned XP goes to repairing the item and the other half to the gamer's level.
Mending has a cost of between 10 and 38 emeralds, with the chance of cost evenly distributed.
Mending books can be found in treasure chests all around your Minecraft world. Exploration is rewarding and chests in structures such as mineshafts, End cities, woodland mansions, dungeons, can contain Mending books.
Since bows can only have either Mending or Infinity on them, it makes more sense from a purely logistical standpoint to use Infinity on the bow. This saves the player from having to endlessly craft arrows, and it works all the time, whereas mending only works when getting experience orbs.
Mending and Infinity are mutually exclusive. However, if combined with commands, both enchantments function as normal.
