Best bow enchants

A standard strong bow runs Power V, Punch II, Flame, Unbreaking III, and then either Infinity or Mending. Those two are incompatible, which is why bow builds are a good fit for shareable saved calculator links.

Bow with Mending Bow with Infinity

Infinity or Mending?

Infinity is more convenient when you use a bow constantly and want to ignore arrow stock.
Mending is better when durability matters more and arrows are easy to replace.
Power V and Punch II are the core combat enchants in almost every setup.

FAQ

Which bow build is more practical?

That depends on your world. Infinity is the comfort option, while Mending is the long-life option if arrows are not a problem.

Is Flame worth keeping?

In normal survival, usually yes. It adds value in most PvE situations, though some server rules or PvP setups may change that choice.
