How to Easily Combine Enchantments in Minecraft
View quick summary
When you acquire enchantments, you can then combine them in Minecraft. You need an anvil and XP levels. It's possible to combine enchanted books, enchanted pieces of gear and a piece of gear and an enchanted book. When it comes to combining the same items, all the adequate enchantments will end up on the output item together. If you're combining two same enchantments with different levels, the lower one will be deleted but if they're the same level, they'll get combined to create a higher level.

Mending vs Infinity: Which Minecraft Enchantment Is Better on a Bow?
View quick summary
Mending and infinity are both rather useful enchantments. Mending enchantment allows you to infinitely repair your gear, including a bow with XP. On the other side, infinity enchantment allows you to carry only one arrow and fire as many times as you want, essentially duplicating arrows. Whether you should have mending or infinity on your Minecraft bow depends on your personal preference. Infinity keeps your inventory clean and mending makes your bow last forever. Due to the possible villager trade rebalancing changes, more players may turn to mending, as good enchantments will be harder to get.

5 Best Minecraft Crossbow Enchantments
View quick summary
Best crossbow enchantments in Minecraft include: unbreaking, mending, quick charge, multishot, and piercing. Unbreaking grants a chance that the use of a crossbow won't use its durability. Mending allows you to restore crossbow's durability with XP. Quick charge lets you reload the crossbow faster. Multishot lets you fire three projectiles at once and consume only one. Piercing is the strongest enchantment, as it makes arrows pierce through entities, allowing you to damage up to five mobs with one arrow.

What Does Piercing Do in Minecraft? Explained
View quick summary
Piercing is an enchantment that allows arrows to pierce through entities in Minecraft. With it, you can damage up to five mobs in a straight line. Piercing also ignores players blocking with shields and is necessary to unlock the "Two Birds, One Arrow" and "Arbalistic" advancements. Its disadvantage is that you cannot have multishot and piercing on the same crossbow, and it does not affect fireworks. You can obtain piercing through the enchanting table or by using enchanted books you buy from villagers.
