Why can't I put mending and infinity on my bow?

You can't put Mending and Infinity on the same bow in vanilla Minecraft because they are mutually exclusive enchantments, meaning the game's developers made them incompatible to maintain balance, force players to make meaningful choices (infinite arrows vs. infinite repair), and prevent the bow from becoming too overpowered and breaking the game's intended progression. Choosing Infinity gives you infinite arrows but eventually makes the bow too expensive to repair with XP; Mending allows infinite repairs with XP but requires you to carry arrows.

How to enchant armor without too expensive?

The cheapest way to enchant armor in Minecraft involves strategic anvil use: combine lower-level enchant books first to build up powerful combined books, apply these to your armor piece, and always keep the total "work penalty" (XP cost) low by combining books with similar enchantment levels or by placing the higher-level/weight book first in the anvil, ideally using tools like the Enchantment Ordering Tool to plan the most efficient sequence. Starting with an enchanting table to get some base enchants on your item can also reduce later anvil costs.
