Why can't I enchant silk touch?

You can't enchant Silk Touch for the same reason you can't put Fortune on it: they are mutually exclusive, meaning they have conflicting functions, but the primary block is getting it via enchanting table or books, which requires luck and sometimes rerolling low-level enchantments on junk items until it appears, or using librarian villagers, as it's a rarer enchantment.

What is the rarest enchantment in Minecraft?

The rarest enchantment in Minecraft is currently Wind Burst (Level 3) for the Mace, found exclusively in Ominous Vaults with a tiny chance via Ominous Trial Keys, making it harder to get than older "treasure" enchants like Mending or Soul Speed. While curses (Binding, Vanishing) and Soul Speed/Frost Walker are rare "treasure" enchants, Wind Burst's restricted source and low odds in the new 1.21 update make it the current top contender for rarity.

Is silk touch worth it on a shovel?

Yes, a Silk Touch on a shovel is very good in Minecraft for getting specific blocks like grass, mycelium, podzol, clay, and even ice, which normally drop dirt, clay balls, or melt; it's also great for guaranteeing 100% gravel drops (no flint) for concrete, making it useful for building and decoration. While Fortune multiplies drops (like diamonds), Silk Touch lets you collect the actual block, saving inventory space and enabling unique builds.

Why can't I combine mending and infinity?

Infinity and Mending can't go together on a Minecraft bow because they are mutually exclusive enchantments, meaning they conflict and cannot be on the same item; this is a deliberate game balance choice by developers to make players choose between infinite arrows (Infinity) or infinite durability (Mending), preventing an overpowered "perfect" bow that never runs out of arrows or breaks. If combined (e.g., via commands), Mending would override Infinity, or they'd conflict, but Mojang added mechanics to stop this in survival to force trade-offs and engagement.
