How do I enchant a bow with Mending and Infinity?

Question

In Minecraft: Xbox One Edition, I wanted to make a bow with Unbreaking III, Flame I, Infinity I, Power V, Punch II, and Mending I, but it won't let me add Mending I. Why won't it allow me to make such a bow?

Elise · Answer

Infinity and Mending are mutually exclusive.

You would have to play in version 1.8. I believe in that time you were actually able to get both Infinity and Mending on one bow, but it has been removed.

A skeleton horseman may RARELY drop a bow enchanted with both infinity and mending, but since skeleton horsemen are already so rare and hard to kill, it's almost impossible.
Tips for obtaining the bow:
Skeleton horses may spawn during thunderstorms, prepare yourself with a full set of armour, an enchanted bow and a sword (ideally enchanted with smite and looting). As you approach the skeleton horse, lighting will strike it again and spawn four skeleton horsemen equipped with iron helmets and enchanted bows, kill the riders but DO NOT KILL THE SKELETON HORSES as it is passive and ridable by you. Then if the skeletons are happy they with drop their bow(s).

There are 2 methods of doing this. The first one is to fish almost 7000 times and hope for one. The other way is to try to kill skeletons for them.
