How rare is it to get a Mending book from a villager for 7 emeralds on 3rd roll?
I am on Bedrock edition and it was my first time doing this.
Best Answer
You had a 2.8% chance of rolling mending on your third villager.
Explanation: If I counted correctly, there are 106 possible enchanted books (including different levels) that a villager can trade. Thus mending has a 1 in 106 chance of appearing. Mending has a cost of between 10 and 38 emeralds, with the chance of cost evenly distributed.
7 emeralds is apparently impossible (without any trading discounts) according to the wiki, though the wiki is generally more accurate for java than bedrock.

What are the odds of a villager selling mending?
This means the probability of choosing mending is 1/(number of enchantments) . In you simplified example of Sharpness and Infinity, there is 1/2 probability of choosing Sharpness. Then the level of sharpness is determined by another random roll. So I have a 1/30 chance of getting Mending?How hard is it to get a mending book from a villager?
All books are available through trade, so the odds of discovering Mending I are fairly low. If it's a bookshelf or book that isn't Mending I, then players need to exit and break the lecturn. After that, repeat the entire process by placing the lecturn and checking again.What are the chances of getting 2 mending from a villager?
Combining them together, you get a 1/2 * 1/36 = 1/72 chance to have Mending in the first slot. And if you got it, then for the second slot it's again a 1/72 chance of getting another Mending book. That's a 1/72 * 1/72 probability, which equals 1/5184. TL;DR: the chances of it happening are 1 in 5184, or 0.019%.How many emeralds does a mending book cost in Minecraft?
