Unless we have some modded combat mechanics that armor isn't capped.
The cap for damage mitigation from armor is set to 25 'points'. Prot IV gives 5 points, when you have it on all four pieces you get 20 pts, so you only need 5pts more for each damage source (blast, fire, projectile). One blast II gives 5pts, a proj II gives 5pts and a fire III gives 6. So that armor isn't fire capped and the 3 extra instances of blast/proj protection aren't used.

I thought it was 25 points per protection type? Am I to understand you cannot possibly cap all protections?
Also impossible to cap 25 points against a sword hit since there is no special protection against swords. 20 is the max from regular prot vs sword?

it's 25pts per protection type.
ProtIV raises all prot types.
So to hit the possible cap you need:
4x ProtIV
1x blast II
1x proj II
1x fire III
1x feather I
I don't know how potions come into play and whether other passive protection sources are possible, I'm still pretty new at this.
Had a rough day in the nether today losing some stuff I probably shouldn't have taken but wasn't any lag.

I've been farming the nether all week and it's been fine. I haven't played today though.
There is a bug with how often fire and lava lighting get updated (just bad code really). I thought they fixed that though. I'd try turning particles down all the way and make sure you wait for all neighboring chunks to load. If that makes a huge difference in the Nether particularly then you might have to apply the manual fix (which is replacing some files in the .jar iirc). *edit - thishttp://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/...ag-fix-client/
The best of all solutions for gfx lag is probably to install optifine and force a number of FPS.
Or if the nether has always lagged you might need to allow some more RAM for java too. You probably know about that though.
I did set my Minecraft to use 4GB right away and 8GB of RAM max.
BTW I started working with village mechanics over on my island.

If you are having having fps problems, thishttp://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tu...s/Update_LWJGLcombined with optifine etc turned this shitbox laptop from barely playing vanilla minecraft to having a bunch of decent mods installed at playable framerates, worth a try.
They'll be shipping those updated files with Minecraft in 1.6 or 1.7 but you can manually install them now, they aren't already installed as they can cause a few issues with mac users and other weirdo types.
As for Cube World that was mentioned yesterday, it now looks like its almost completely focused on exploration and combat, his website updates haven't mentioned the building blueprints etc part of the game for over 12 months.
