Some peace and quiet!

Check the wiki article.

Armor can get protection enchantments such as "Protection III" or "Fire protection IV". The maximum level of a protection enchantment is IV (4). Protection enchantments stack (up to a cap). ...

The enchantment damage reduction is applied to the damage left after the armor's basic effect, and the base "enchantment protection factor" (EPF) of an enchanted item is:

floor ( (6 + level * level) / 2 )

Which gives the following EPF for enchantments of level I-IV:
Level...EPF
I...........3
II..........5
III.........7
IV........11

For Feather falling, the EPF of the specific piece is doubled.

The total [Enchantment Protection Factor] is the sum for all armor pieces, and capped at 25. An EPF of 25 can be reached by two level III pieces and one level IV piece (2*7+11=25).

So, according to the wiki, yes various enchanted items stack up to a cap of 25.

Why the hell are you looking here? Everyone knows that there's no girls on the internet.

I always thought they were kind of creepy, but this one is just...THEY EYES JUST FOLLOW YOU WHEREVER YOU GO!!!! D=

I dunno, Minecraft is pretty addicting; I don't know how a girl'd have time to play Minecraft and still have time to cook meals, do the dishes, clean the kitchen & bathroom, dust, go to her job, paint her nails, gossip, go out for "girl's night", play Words With Friends and Farmville on Facebook, text that other guy that's "just a friend", shop for comfortable shoes, shop for "cute" shoes, and complain she's not appreciated and you're not romantic anymore.

Step 1: Acquire a bunch of leather.
Step 2: Craft it all into armor.
Step 3: Dye it a multitude of colors.
Step 4: Toss it all in a zombie dungeon.

3. Ratings

There will be ratings that are part of each map listing. These ratings will be given to me by well known and respected map reviewers. The lead reviewer will be Rsmalec. He has reviewed over 150 maps and created an incredibly in depth and comprehensive system for giving scores. There are five parts of his scoring system; Creativity, Detail, Story, Difficulty, and Progression. He also gives detailed explanations on why a map receives a particular score in each of the areas.

Although reviews are subjective and opinions can and will vary on what map is the "best". His rating system will give a fairly good idea on what you can expect from a map.
Details on the rating system can be found here.

Note on Ratings: I do not have anything to do with what rating a map receives. I simply post the rating that is given.

Everything updated for 1.6.2. The mods directory will now be located in the same directory as minecraft jar, unless the default game directory is changed, where it will act like it had on older versions.

Read this entire post. All of it. Downloading the mods means you agree to the disclaimer. You can skip the FAQ, but if you have an issue, consult it first, before consulting us. If you have an issue answered in the FAQ or this post itself, we won't help you. At all. We reserve the right to ignore dumbasses who do not pay attention to the big bold text. Completely and utterly, ignore them. To all of you who are good boys and girls, I suggest you ignore them too, should they post.

Modding now has its own IRC channel on esper.net, #risucraft.

Disclaimer: These mods require altering minecraft.jar, and SMP may not work with these mods installed. Some of these mods add new content, do not load worlds with this new content if the respective mod is not installed. I am not responsible for any damage done to your computer, worlds, or your copy of Minecraft. That said, backup your worlds and bin folder!

The Mods

ModLoader 1.6.2
A mod, kind of like a mod manager, that stops conflicts with mods that alter rendering, recipes, add entities, gui, smeltables or fuel. If you're a modder, feel free to decompile this and learn how to make mods work with it. Inherit BaseMod and override any methods as necessary. The mod's main class file should be prefixed with 'mod_'. Read the Javadoc for information on methods available.

Elemental Arrows 1.6.2
The Elemental Arrows mod adds four new types of arrows; explosive arrows, fire arrows, ice arrows, and a joke weapon, egg arrows.. They are crafted the same way as normal arrows, but the head is replaced based on the element; gunpowder for explosive, coal for fire, snowball for ice, and egg for, well, egg. Crafting an explosive arrow only gives you one arrow, and it explodes upon impact. Crafting a fire arrow gives you one arrow, that will ignite stuff upon impact. Crafting an ice arrow gives you one arrow, that will freeze water into ice, lava springs into obsidian, put out fire, and break torches. Egg arrows spawn chickens upon impact with the ground, but there's a secret too. Lightning arrows strike lightning where ever they hit, use diamond in recipe. Homing bow recipe is same layout as regular bow, but diamond instead of sticks. Requires ModLoader 1.6.2.

More Stackables 1.6.2
This mod makes saddles, doors, and signs up to 8 in a stack, minecarts and boats up to 4 in a stack. This is great for storage and for using workbenches, chests, or furnaces, as you no longer consume your food! Requires ModLoader 1.6.2.

Sign Tags 1.6.2
Type [time] into a sign, and it will show the current time. You can also type [x], [y], or [z] and find the current position of the sign in regards to that axis. [a|b] is a redstone input function for signs, where text replacing 'a' will be shown when the sign is powered, otherwise 'b' is shown. Type [light], and it will show you the current light level of the sign's position. [biome], [temp], [humid] each tell you the biome you're in, the temperature of that area, and the humidity of that area, respectively. [temp], [humid] will no longer function in Nether.

Death Chest 1.6.2
When you die, if you have a chest in your inventory, it will be placed where you die, or in the closest available spot. The chest will be filled with as many items as possible. Items stored in the crafting slot are still lost, as usual, and any excess that won't fit in the chest will be dropped.

AudioMod 1.6.2(Not updated for now)
AudioMod is an upgrade of sorts, and a modder's utility. Included in this mod is CodecIBXM, created by Paul at www.paulscode.com, who is the creator of the sound system used in Minecraft. It allows Minecraft to play (in addition to ogg, wav, and mus files), xm, s3m, and mod files. The only readily available feature of this mod is the ability to add new music, however, it adds support for modders to add new records and sound effects. There is a slight increase in load time when using this mod. Using this, you can also use custom sounds, alongside the originals. Custom music and sound goes into the resources folder, music in mod/music. Custom sounds go into mod/sound. For example, if I were to add a new footstep sound effect to stone, I'd put the new stone1.ogg in mod/sound/step. In game, the new sound would occasionally be played, alongside the originals. Custom sounds for things like the menu click and water do not always work, at the moment.

Floodgate 1.6.2
Floodgate block can be used as either a floodgate, allowing toggleable water and lava falls, or as a trapdoor. When you place the floodgate control block, it will place a gate in front of the control block in the direction you are facing. Applying redstone power to this will remove the gate. Use the control block to open the GUI where you can place supporting blocks that will replace how the gate looks. Requires ModLoader 1.6.2.

Spawner GUI 1.6.2
Adds a GUI to all mob spawners, that will allow you to pick what mob to spawn. I also reallowed mining spawners. You can disable spawners with redstone aswell. Should be compatible with all mobs, but don't expect the mobs with special spawn conditions to work everywhere. Animals require grass, Monsters require darkness, Slimes require being in their special chunks, and 0-16 depth. Requires ModLoader 1.6.2.

Biosphere 1.6.2
This is a new generator. You may select this generator in More World Options when creating world. In this generator, the world is made up of massive spheres with glass domes. Inside these spheres are random biomes. There is a random chance of a lake being placed in the center of each sphere. Usually water, but rarely lava. Bordering this lake you will find sand for water, or gravel for lava. Connecting each sphere is a wooden bridge with fence rail. Beside each sphere is a smaller sphere, which is where you will find diamond and lapis lazuli. These ores only occur here, the others are equally spread throughout the spheres. The cave generator used here is a modified Nether cave generator, where like on the surface, will generate lava below a certain level. if this lava reaches the outside, an obsidian wall will be made to hold it in. Many options can be changed in ".minecraft/config/Biosphere.cfg". Requires ModLoader 1.6.2.

I love how you guys are all assuming he has a grinder, while I'm not and you think that you are all right.

open mouth, insert foot... look like a fool.

Congrats you have been successful!

Now instead of being defensive you can read up on the game mechanics and learn how most xp farms that are built well work. Admit your mistake and be a better gamer and person for it.

I got a sheep, then got invisibility splash potion then used it on him and this is what happened...

I'd Just like to thank all the people who have worked and are working on Minecraft, A lot of people tend to complain every time y'all update or do something wrong, so i thought it'd be nice if someone thanked you! I want to thank you for the cool updates and for being active in our community, i mean when have you been on a game's forums and talked to someone who's working on the game? A lot of you fail to realize how good we (the MC Community) have it. I know a lot of the Y'all can't even drive and don't realize how hard the stuff y'all do really is, But I think i can speak for the older audience when i say Thank you for keeping this game alive!


Now with that out of the way, Since ThanksGiving is around the corner I thought it would be nice if we could make a huge list of What we (The MC community) Are thankful for in/about Minecraft.





​I'm Thankful for The HardWorking Employees of Mojang!
