I have a skeleton farm and I enchanted DOZENS of items already. I never saw "mending" though. The Wiki says, that you find this on the lower enchanting levels, but I never saw it.
Note: (Normally) Before I enchant an item, I look through all of them and check on each what I would get: Helmet, Chestplate, Leggings, Boots, Sword, Bow. I think chances that I really never could have seen it are pretty low.
Can you get this enchantment only from the end and from books? I saw some enchanted items in the end cities with mending.

Mending is a treasure enchantment, which you can only find in the world, you can not create it yourself on an enchanting table.
Treasure enchantments can be obtained by
- Fishing
- Chests in dungeons, temples, mineshafts, End cities etc.
- Trading (villagers charge double price for treasure enchantments)
Mending can be found on many items, including, for example, Fishing Rods.

5It is possible to get mending from an enchantment table, but it is very hard and I would suggest having a very good xp farm as well as using books if you want to get it from an enchantment table. I know people say that it’s a treasure enchantment and you can’t get it from an enchantment table, but I did. Also, before anyone asks, yes, I am sure I got it from an enchantment table.
