Mending Infinity Bows & 1.11.2

[Steveiest]

I gather from 1.11.2 you won't be able to add the infinity and mending enchantments to a bow, you'll have to pick one or the other.

What I don't know, is what happens to existing infinity+mending bows... do they remain?

If so, it could be a good time to stock up on good bows before the upgrade...

 

[Captain_Marko]

A strange change to make, what were they thinking?

 

[Steveiest]

I'm not quite sure, the only thing I can think of is that maybe they see it as something that could be exploited... unlimited arrows, XP to repair indefinitely, etc.

My bow is my main weapon now, mending and infinity, it just lasts and lasts with rapid auto fire too unlike a sword. Maybe thats why they did it.

Guess I'd better make another bow.

 

[Captain_Marko]

Ah yes I see, better do the same.
