[MC-152438] Mending efficiency greatly decreased in 1.14+

In a survival server, whenever I try to use mending to repair my tools or armour, it only repairs a small fraction of the time I absorb experience. This bug has been happening since the 1.14 snapshots and has persisted ever since.

When mending your tools, make sure you don't have any armor on you that has mending on it (even if it doesn't need to be repaired). All items with "Mending" on them will take a share of your experience, even if they're fully mended.

Was that your issue?

The wiki has a good description of how mending works and why you should remove any armour that has mending if they are fully mended.
