    Brief Description:
    I noticed today that if I place a mending rod than max rod it costs 21 enchantment levels to combine.
    I also noticed that if I place the max rod first, than enchanting rod it costs 7 enchantment levels to combine
    The Result is the same rod.
    Instructions:
    Place items to be combined into Anvil
    Switch items to be combined into anvil into opposite order.
    Check which is cheaper to enchant.
    How many times did you recreate this?:
    once, but it seemed to be consistent.
    Result:
    Used 7 enchantment levels to combine Mending and a max rod
    Expected Result:
    Not sure if this is right or wrong. If its supposed to be 7 or 21 to do this action.
    Evidence:
    I did a print screen of it and forgot to paste it into mspaint before copying the forum. :(

    I believe this is part of how Minecraft has it set up, can’t confirm 100% however.

    It is because I’m the first scenario you’re adding the max rod enchantments to another rod. The second one you’re only adding lending to a rod.

    This is normal Minecraft mechanics.
