Why can't I enchant with books?

Why won't my anvil let me enchant?

Your Minecraft anvil won't enchant usually because of compatibility issues (wrong enchantments/item types), conflicting enchantments (Sharpness/Smite on same sword), too many prior anvil uses (Too Expensive!), missing XP levels, or sometimes a simple bug needing a game restart or anvil replacement. You need to combine items with matching types or use an enchanted book, ensuring you have enough experience and aren't exceeding the increasing cost from previous repairs.

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.

What's better, infinity or mending?

In Minecraft, Infinity gives you unlimited normal arrows (with one in inventory) but the bow still breaks; Mending uses XP to repair the bow's durability, meaning you always need arrows but never run out of durability if you get XP, making Mending generally better for long-term use as Infinity bows become too costly to repair on the anvil. You must choose one, as they are mutually exclusive enchantments.

Is there a way to bypass too expensive Minecraft?

You can't truly "bypass" the "Too Expensive!" anvil message in vanilla Minecraft as it's a built-in limit (around level 40 XP), but you can work around it by strategically combining enchanted books to minimize XP cost, using cured villagers for cheaper books, and applying enchantments in specific orders. The main methods involve combining books into fewer, higher-level books first, avoiding repeated uses on the same item, and using grindstones/enchantment tables efficiently before the anvil. For a true bypass, you need mods like "NoExpensive or creative mode.
