i have maxed out protection 4 diamond armor and when i took damage from a mob compared to no protection i take the same damage (ONLY WITH RESISTANCE)
how to reproduce
get any armor
take damage from a mob
check your stats
it'll say that much damage taken
now enchant with protection or so
take damage from a mob again
check your stats
when you divide by 2 the first result is the same
similarly to feather falling:
get any armor
take fall damage
check your stats
it'll say that much damage taken
now enchant your boots with feather falling, you can apply protection if you want
take fall damage again
check your stats
when you divide by 2 the first result is the same
