Minecraft – How to Repair Enchanted Items
Players in Minecraft who have their favorite enchantments on their armor want to hold onto those items for as long as possible. If the Mending enchantment is still out of reach because of that pesky villager, you will need another way to repair your items. Not sure how to repair your items in Minecraft? We’ve got you covered.
Some Minecraft players may see how they have repaired un-enchanted old bows or swords in the past using a crafting table and think that using the same method with enchanted items will work the same. However, when players put enchanted items together on a crafting table, they will find that all of their enchantments will vanish from their newly repaired items. This is because players need a different item entirely to repair their enchanted item, whether it be a sword, a bow, or a piece of armor.

Either put the type of ore your item is made out of (diamonds, gold, iron), or put the same type of item into the second slot. This is also your opportunity to rename your item if you choose to do so. As seen here:
