[MC-151220] Can combine protection with projectile protection

Was enchanting some armor and I noticed that my helmet had protection and projectile protection. I then tried to use a projectile protection book on leggings while already having the protection enchantment, this worked.

I’m pretty sure stacking protections is intended

They did add that feature in 1.14 then? Last time I played was in 1.13 and back then protection enchantments could not be combined.

It likely doesn't really matter or make much of a difference either way, since there's supposed to be a cap on the total effect from any of the protection enchantments. So even if every armor piece had every kind of protection enchantment on it, it won't mean anything once the cap is reached.

You would have thought that but with full enchant god armor (all protections) all armor pieces I take between no damage and half a heart which leads me to believe they juggled the cap a bit on the protection
