How to get Mending villager in Minecraft 1.19

In Minecraft 1.19, you can trade all sorts of items with villagers that live peacefully in villages. These mobs can get several jobs in order to trade different items related to that profession. One of the best among them is a librarian villager, who can trade every enchantment in the form of enchanted books.

Experienced players usually use librarians to obtain enchantments rather than using enchantment tables as it allows them to get specific powerups instead of random ones. Though librarian villagers give an enchanted book on their first trade tier, it might not be Mending. Hence, if you want such rare books from the said entities, you can use this trick.
