Enchanting system revision

With Jeb that is going to change the combat system, the Enchanting system should be changed as well, since both system are strictly tied together. The combat changes adopted by Jeb, become totally irrelevant when it comes to high tier enchanted gear, because we can put on an armor tons of enchantments, and where it comes to PvP, with full Netherite enchanted gear, the duel seems to never end.

I have some ideas to how change the Enchanting system and why

Protection enchantment 

A full Protection gear gives 64% more damage reduction against everything; this should be changed to 20% at least. This, because of the Protection's strenght, the other 3 Protection enchantments are totally worthless. There is no difference between swimming in lava with a Prot 4 gear or a Fire Prot 4 at all.

Enchantments limits

Another thing that should happen is that we have a limit o the number of enchantments that we can put on our gear. This is already done in Minecraft Dungeons, and it makes every games type unique. This should be done because there is no variety between high tier armors: always the same stuff. The number should be the highest on Gold gear, and the lowest on Diamond and Netherite. This will make people have strategies during PvP and PvE, because they aren't immune to everything.

More Enchanting-like systems

Thereshould be more mechanics that grant us buffs, with their own limits. By doing this, the gamestyle can be customised even more.

  I like where this is going, but there are some things I'd like to consider when looking at your Idea:
  
  
  Enchantment slots / runes:
   Enchanting, as we all know, is somewhat overpowered, especially with lategame gear. this is where enchantment slots come in. a new tool or piece of armor should always start with zero slots, meaning it will not be enchantable. however, by creating a runic table (made with 3 stone, 1 diamond, and 2 leather), you will be able to craft different runes (Omega for armor, Alpha for tools, and Delta for weapons), which can be used to either add a enchantment slot or charge an already enchanted weapon. as for the max amount of slots that can be inserted, here's a list:
  
  wood/leather gear - 0
  
  Stone / chainmail gear - 1
  
  Diamond/netherite Gear - 2
  
  Iron gear - 3
  
  Gold gear - 5
  
  Misc. gear (Turtle helmet, elytra, etc.) - 5
  
  Magic meter:
  every piece of armor, tool, and weapon should have a hidden meter that shows up as soon as the player equips or holds it, only visible when the player hovers over it. when said Items are being used, this meter will go down, and if the enchantment has multiple levels, certain percentages will temporarily degrade said levels to a lower tier, encouraging players to occasionally use runes of the said Enchantment-type to refill this meter. upon reaching 0%, the enchantments will no longer work, meaning you will be stuck with Semi-unenchanted gear.

  And if anyone is wondering, Bows, shields, and crossbows would probably have a enchantment cap of 3, much like Iron gear.

  I'd say the idea would be cobblestone being used with corresponding dyes and 4 lapis to make certain runes.
