If an iron sword is not enchanted, you can merge 2 an iron sword right in your inventory to get 1, but with a larger amount of durability remaining. If one of the items was enchanted during the merge, the enchantment will disappear after the merge. No experience or additional resources are consumed with this method of repair.
When an iron sword is repaired in the inventory, 5% is added to the total strength.
If an iron sword is enchanted, it is better to repair on the anvil to keep or add enchantments. Repair can be done with a netherite ax, an iron sword with charms or with the appropriate material used in the item’s crafting.
This method of repair consumes experience and additional resources.
Also keep in mind that when using an anvil, its strength is lost. Therefore, it is better to combine an iron sword and an enchanted an iron sword or a book on the anvil at once.
And don’t forget that each new an iron sword mending on the anvil will cost more and more experience. That’s why it’s better to combine enchanted items right away.
When repairing the an iron sword on the anvil, we recommend trying to swap items around, as this may reduce the amount of experience needed to repair it.
To restore the strength of an iron sword, you can cast a ‘Repair’ spell. The item will then automatically regenerate its strength when you gain experience.

A book with repairing charms can be made on the enchantment table, fished out with a fishing rod or found in treasure chests, fortresses, mines, etc.
The fastest way to repair an iron sword with the “Repair” spell is to put the item in your left hand and use your right hand to mine, fish, kill mobs or breed animals.
