How to get Infinity

  • Enchanting table: Surround a level 30 table with 15 bookshelves and roll until Infinity appears.
  • Villager trading: Reroll librarian villagers until one stocks Infinity.
  • Loot: Bastions, end cities and trial chambers regularly drop enchanted gear with Infinity.

Anvil cost worked example

Applying a level-1 Infinity book onto a brand-new item costs 8 XP levels (book multiplier 8 times level 1). Adding it on top of an item that has already been on the anvil once raises the cost by another 1 level for the prior-work penalty; twice and the penalty jumps to 3; three times, 7; and so on by 2^n - 1.

Pair Infinity with cheap stuff first if you can - Unbreaking and Mending have low multipliers and don't conflict, so they're usually the cheapest path to a full endgame loadout.
