    What bonus does full star armor have over this obtainable set?

    Head
    Prot 4
    Respiration 3
    Aqua Affinity 1
    Unbreaking 3
    (advantage: star armor, can add Thorns 3 also)

    Chest
    Prot 4
    Unbreaking 3
    Thorns 3

    Legs
    Prot 4
    Unbreaking 3
    Thorns 3

    Feet
    Prot 4
    Feather Falling 4
    Unbreaking 3
    Thorns 3

    -The other protections (Blast, Projectile and Fire) are made irrelevant by the Protection 4.
    -I just noticed that Fire protection reduces burn duration when you're on fire.
    -I also just noticed that Blast protection reduces explosion recoil.

    -If Feather Falling effect stacks, then that is a bonus for Star Armor.
    -If Respiration effect stacks, then that is a bonus for Star Armor.
    -If Aqua Affinity effect stacks, then that is a bonus for Star Armor.
    -If Thorns effect stacks, then that is a bonus for Star Armor (able to get Unbreaking 3 AND Thorns 3 on the helmet).

    Anyone know if these effects stack?

    As far as I know, they do also seeing as I have thorns 3 and unb 3 on my max set on everything and it has never hit someone in prot iv back for more than 1 heart I don't really know if it would stack.

    The fire protection is very over powered. Also, fire protection stacks perfectly and feather falling stacks slightly, although it is capped after only 2 pieces of feather falling IV. I have no idea about respiration 3 as it is not listed anywhere and aqua affinity doesn't stack you can only break as much as on land, no quicker.

    I'm not totally impressed with the "unobtainables" in the star shop. I purchased the eff5 sword for 1000 stars thinking it would be more powerful on melons than it actually is. In the end I've spent the equivalent of $250k on a sword that earns less per hour on melons than an eff5 axe earns on pumpkins (without fly). An eff5 axe sells for about $8-$12k.

    Yeah, the unobtainables should be eff 6 or 7. I don't know what the point of buying an eff 5, st pick or axe is since they are actually obtainable. Only the sword is unobtainable.

    Actually, I've seen higher efficiency stuff and higher fortune stuff. You just can't make them, even in creative mode. You have to have a mod and set the efficiency level. However, it is possible that they plugged this, though I doubt it.
