[@duirsage381]

I don't remember you covering this, but you can use the grindstone to combine pieces of armor together to repair armor, as well.

[@gamerz_world_gaming_channel]

never put thorns on your armour eyecraftmc it will lose durability way faster

[@muervo_]

[@Nicitel94]

I literally looked him up, watched his latest video and later that day he dropped this banger.

[@nathanburgett1599]

There is a limit to what can be posted about minecraft. Hes covered every topic 10x already.

[@content9593]

Ermm… actually, the video is 21 minutes and 30 seconds long

[@zxbzxbzxb1]

The first time I fought the Enderdragon my Thorns III armour probably did more damage to the Dragon than I managed to inflict directly 😂

[@Eyecraftmc]

lol that is hilarious

[@nathanburgett1599]

Lvl wise, its also cheaper to combine the books before putting them on. Just make sure the book you make each time is always in the first slot, being added to a book with only one enchantment. Its a lot cheaper this way, than adding them one at a time to your armor.

[@zxbzxbzxb1]

I find soul speed II and III too scary to use in the nether. It's to easy to be scooting along over the soul sand and career off a hidden cliff into a lava lake or whatever!

[@Jaxxson.]

True

[@Eyecraftmc]

Fair enough, I usually try to have fire resistance the whole time with elytra equipped so there's no instant deaths, then its a ton of fun to sort of surf through the soul sand valley!

[@AndrewSmith-xl1gl]

14:22 Having two pieces of armor with one type of specialized protection is still inefficient as that totals 96% damage reduction in that type, with 16% wasted after the 80% cap. Having one piece with projectile projection and three pieces with general protection still provides the full 80% reduction to projectile damage, with 48% reduction to all other damage types. Because only one piece of armor needs to be specialized, I like to dedicate that special protection to the head slot with projectile protection on a turtle shell, fire protection on a gold helmet and blast protection on a diamond/netherite helmet.

[@Skuzzyyyy]

So I should put fire prot IV on one piece of armor and regular prot IV on the other 3?

[@AndrewSmith-xl1gl]

@@Skuzzyyyy Exactly! If you want to maximize protection against a specific damage type it only takes a single piece of armor with that enchantment, so long as the other three have general protection.

[@jamesrichter8000]

Thanks for this break down, I’ll be using this in my build.

[@davidshmavid5]

Bedrock has an advantage over Java in terms of fire protection. The reduced burn time for fire protection is 15% times the level. This stacks in Bedrock so that you can get 100% less burn time if you have fire protection IV on one piece and III on another. However, in Java, it caps out at 60% no matter what, so you really only benefit from having level IV on one piece of armor. I'm not sure whether this difference in platforms applies to knockback reduction for blast protection.

[@bodaciouschad]

@@Skuzzyyyy The idea behind using a gold helmet is that gold prevents piglins from being aggressive toward you and fire protection is useful in the nether, thus a gold fire prot 4 helm is good in the nether for exploring. I think I'd still prefer regular protection for exploring the nether fortresses and bastions as you'll be encountering melee mobs in there no matter what you do, but if you're just mining in the nether, the gold isn't a bad idea if you already have a villager hall and xp farm.

@@Eyecraftmc omg you actually responded!!! You’re welcome well deserved

[@poughkeepsieblue]

Youre enchanting in the wrong order, always enchant the most expensive things first, and put mending last. Always use perfect books, which are books that havent been combined. Otherwise, if youre not enchanting in creative mode, your equipment will be too expensive before you get all enchantments on boots and helmets, swords too.

[@Atomiccr]

so only use books that have one thing

[@kevinmartinez6893]

Your a goat bro thank you for showing me all about this cause I’m back into Minecraft and sm stuff has been added and now ik what to do 💪🏽🙏🏽

Man I've been rewatching every video I'm so happy to have a new one ❤

[@Eyecraftmc]

Thanks for being such a Superfan! More videos coming soon!!

[@AlexRoberts-tk9qh]

I started playing Minecraft in 1.18 so it was initially overwhelming having such an abundance of possibilities with regards to armor, weapons, and farms. Your videos perfectly breakdown both the mechanics and potential applications of the game into both comprehensive theory and actually gameplay context which is intellectually satisfying and has massive practical value. Your approach is much appreciated because of the concise nature of getting right to the point whilst providing exhaustive analysis of how and why things function as they do. I find myself constantly referring to your videos particularly with regards to brewing and villager trades which has in turn enriched my Minecraft world exponentially more than anything I would have ever anticipated. Thank you so much!

[@Eyecraftmc]

Thank you so much!! I definitely try my best to keep the videos focused on what's practical and important and how to use these features most effectively.

[@IsaiahSmith-yc1mq]

You actually only need one piece of armor with a specialized protection enchant to reach the 80% cap. So 4% damage reduction x Level 4 x 3 Pieces = 48%. 8% damage reduction x Level 4 x 1 piece = 32%. 48% + 32% = exactly 80%. That's why a Fire Protection IV gold helmet or boots make sense for the nether because you still get almost full armor bars and get max fire protection and pacify piglins. (Also if you do boots instead of a helmet you'll get more durability and the ability to swap out Depth Strider (useless in the Nether) for Frost Walker to walk safely on magma. You're also more likely to be able to get Soul Speed III on gold boots.) Of course, that's without Elytra, so it may be worth it to have 1 piece of standard protection + 2 pieces of special protection which also equals exactly 80%.

[@Lotster55]

A new Eyecraft video! Christmas came early this year. Day = made.

[@aramideolajide5582]

One push for every like.

[@Eyecraftmc]

Thanks so much for watching!! and merry christmas?

[@AndrewSmith-xl1gl]

15:12 Also a fun note, because the enchantment’s damage reduction is applied after the armor, the value of the enchantment is reduced on stronger armor types (because the remaining damage is lower), meaning that Protection IV on a set of iron armor is putting in more work than the same enchantment on a set of diamond armor. So while there is a considerable difference in durability, the difference in damage reduction between fully enchanted sets of iron and diamond armor is relatively insignificant.

[@Jive_here]

Ain't no way I was thinking of upgrading to Netherite And Bro Uploaded 💀

[@tynytian]

16:40 the turtle helmet also allows you to instantly regain all your breath by peeking above water for any amount of time. No more waiting to catch your breath while swimming!

[@Eyecraftmc]

Just tested this in Java edition and it doesn't work

[@tynytian]

@@Eyecraftmc poking above water resets the 10 seconds of waterbreathing that comes with the helmet, allowing you to regain all your breath even if you immmediately back underwater. Technically not instantly, but may as well be.👍 I didn't see any notes on the wiki about a difference between java and bedrock, and I just tried it on mobile.

[@nathanburgett1599]

Also, inorder to get these enchantments that he is, on the table, you need 15 bookshevles facing the table in a C around it. That is the max lvl enchantment table. 👍

* An enchantment to make the Armor mostly invisible so a players skin that you worked hard to make shows through needs to be made. ** NOTE to point out: Leather boots allow you to walk on powdered snow and possible save your life. ** I fully enchant a gold helmet for the Nether since the normal helmet I wear does not help much in the Nether.

[@stant_t1507]

Missed you!

[@Anurag_Shukla]

please make a sprinting guide, explaing everfything about sprint and how we can use it in pvp

[@Master_Gabe_Gaming]

It’s a complicated mechanic but basically after you have protection IV on two pieces of armor it will not register the the protection effect anymore. So basically go for protection IV on two pieces of armor and on the other piece do either blast, fire, or projectile protection.

[@saxpoobielex7769]

Thanks

[@tdworwood]

That contradicts the video. Is that bedrock specific?

[@MrAlen08]

Thats completely wrong

[@Jaxxson.]

​@@tdworwoodno he's just a noob and it's a common misconception everyone always says that but EVERY good deep dive video that is about enchanting armor always says put all 4 with protection IV and that's been the exact same over all the years of Minecraft

[@Eyecraftmc]

Protection IV is never a waste even when on all 4 pieces, its specialized protection enchantments that are a waste to put on all four pieces, because it is SO effective that it hits the upper limit of 80% damage reduced after its on only 3 pieces, the max damage reduced from Protection IV only goes up to 64% (16% per piece) so it never hits the limit and is therefore always effective.

[@davidpotter7484]

The absolutely best way to get diamond gear is buying it from fully upgraded armor, weapon and tool smiths. I just wall off whole cities, spawn proof it, and add a bunch of beds and profession blocks.

[@peterstrong772]

Don't just put the books straight onto the armour etc, join books together, try combinations of books, even if you have only two books, swap the order you are combining them, as it's different most of the time, and a lot cheaper to install. Also don't go to the end for diamond armour, a trading hub is by far the best and easiest way to most things.

[@GGBlaster]

My personal recommendation: have a couple of armor sets for different purposes. For example, I like to have a set with chestplate, leggings, boots and turtle shell, with enchantments for water exploration. I also usually only use Netherite armor for the Nether and Overworld, as it won’t be destroyed in lava, but if you fall in the void in the End, your stuff is gone.

The easiest way to find a bastion is to locate it with chunkbase, and the easiest way to raid it is to ride a camel there and capture the piglins in boats, I also have a bastion guide: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hl7Op3qIoqalq7M That has even more info on how to raid bastions.

[@LunaBit985]

I thought netherite armor also gave a small amount of natural fire resistance compared to diamond armor. might just be a false thing I've heard, but it definitely feels like you barely take fire damage while wearing netherite, even without fire prot 4.

[@ethicz297]

Does upgrading diamond armor remove the enchantments on the diamond armor?

[@Eyecraftmc]

Great question, no it doesn't remove the enchantments, so you can make perfect diamond armor before netherite upgrading if you want.

[@IdiotBozo]

Even though I've been playing for years, I never knew about the protection percentages. Your videos are always the best! :)

[@windovs5962]

[@groverpropst7475]

The best netherite armor needs to have 2 peices of armor with fire protection with that you take no damage in lava

[@jonnyblaze2692]

1 Fire 4 and 3 Prot 4 on diamond gear will let you swim in lava for over a minute before the armor gets destroyed from taking durability. You just have to have something like steak or golden carrots to keep your hunger bar filled

[@LunaBit985]

you don't even need fire protection. standard protection 4 on netherite still allows you to swim in lave until it breaks, given you have some food on you. more than enough, even if you fall into a massive lava pit in the nether.

[@groverpropst7475]

With 2 prices of fire protection on my armor I can stay in lava forever can u say the same with your all protection

[@gerardmatthieu907]

Why add enchants 1 at a time instead of combining books in anvil first ? The later let us hit the enchantments cost limit later on ( thus allowing for more enchantment added by anvil ) ..

[@yuiem_]

can you do it on bedrock too?

[@kevthatguy1248]

Glad to see you again, Don’t be a stranger! 🖤🤘

[@user-su1fy3xs8l]

does repairing your diamond armor with diamonds once or twice prevent you from getting the perfect armor by making it too expensive?

[@nathanburgett1599]

Lol. Dont worry. If you cant be bothered to actually look for diamonds, you can face the dragon in iron then make your way to an rnd city to get enchanted D armor. 🤦‍♂️. All you need is an iron pick, fortune enchantment, a few trees, stacks of coal. You run through every deepslate level tunnel laying torches as you go. Almost every diamond you find, also has more like a block away under it. Just dig out two blocks in each direction around before you break. Prefereably you want to do the villager cleric job force trick on two, till you get mending and fortune. Its not really hard. It is faster to face the dragon in iron, but its definitly not easier.
