You can add the Mending enchantment to any pickaxe, shovel, axe, hoe, fishing rod, carrot on a stick, shears, helmet, chestplate, leggings, boots, shield, elytra, sword, trident, bow, or crossbow using an enchanting table, anvil, or game command.

What is mending good on?

Mending can be applied to axes, pickaxes, hoes, shovels, shears and fishing rods. While it may not be as valuable to put mending on things such as wood and stone tools, it can be quite useful to put on other tools, like pickaxes because Minecraft is unbeatable without one.

How do you use mending books in Minecraft?

To use an enchanted book, the player must place an item in the first slot in an anvil, and a book in the next. In order to complete the enchantment, the player must have the required amount of experience. Note that using an enchanted book gets significant discounts at the anvil.
