My idea is a new enchantment that helps in defeating guardians, players with thorns armor, and even helps you hug a cactus.
This is a new type of protection enchantment. It is as common as fire protection, blast protection, etc. It is called spike protection. The max level of spike protection you can get without cheats is 4. Spike protection level 1 reduces the damage thorns does by half a heart. Level 2 reduces the damage by 1 heart, level 3 reduces the damage by 1 and a half hearts, etc.

The only use I see for this is to walk across a cactus field without taking damage. I suppose that itself could be a security system for your house, but the uses are quite limited. No support.
But those explosions are more common. On the other hand, this would only serve to protect against someone with the thorns enchantment, which isn't common. And I don't really see the need to protect yourself from a cactus.

Guardians are new underwater hostile mobs you can find guarding the new ocean monuments in 1.8. There is even an elder guardian mini-boss. They have spikes on them and give a thorns effect. They have tons of other features, too. I suggest looking it up on the official Minecraft wiki.
Ah, I thought the guardians were from some mod. I was going to be like "Well, if it will only help with a mod, there's no point, might as well make the enchantment a mod too"
I looked this up. Apparently, they will be coming up with ocean temples too. Finally, something interesting that can be found in the ocean biome.
Yeah, like the Spider Killer enchantment was popular as hell...
We don't really hav ethe ned for such specific enchantments. Even in Multiplayer, the p,layers who will actually have Thorns on them will be quite a few -unless the server offers such a kit, or some already unbeatable admin just hands generally OP suits for everyone, people who use their much more scarce resources for enchanting have better priorities. And in SSP, using it to fight only one mob seems even more situational than the aforementioned Bane of Arthropods.
And don't really tell me that you're gonna use the Cacti as your excuse. You could intentionally search for and run through that barely harmful block that only gets generated in one biome -one that also provides you with plenty of free space to be able to see any hazards out there- quite some times, and still not die with some good unenchanted pieces of Iron Armor.
Understandable. Also, I was not using cacti as an excuse... I was actually mentioning that in there as a joke... Although, it does help against cacti.

Yeah, guardians are awesome. They shoot lasers, too.
Its sounds a little specific. If a new enchantment was added, I hope it will have a little more use
No support, sorry.
Understandable. Originally, this thread was gonna be about protection against a guardian's laser. I ended up scrapping that and putting the spike protection here instead.
It's an enormous niche for an enchantment, no support; not enough uses and could fall under the general Protection enchantment pretty easily. Also, why doesn't it decrease incoming "spike" damage by a percentage like the other protection enchantments do?

It doesn't because I didn't know the other protection enchantments decrease the damage by a percent. I'll change it soon.
Why not just make Projectile Protection protect from cacti, thorns and guardians? It is already an enchantment devoted primarily to pointy things (arrows), and it needs a reason to exist. Just make Projectile Protection do what it currently does, and what Spike protection does.

But cacti, the thorns enchantment, and guardians are not projectiles, so that doesn't make sense.

Also there's only three explosions to prevent for blast protection. I say, why not? It's not like it takes away from gameplay.
Nice to see you guys again.
I really don't know what to put here...
Understandable.
TY. That's why I made the idea.
Don't forget that it helps against guardians.
Kind of harsh....
It has uses that would be helpful in-game like fighting guardians and players with the thorns enchantment.

This made me laugh so hard that I fell out of my chair.:P
I support!

Like I've said like 3 times, don't forget about the guardians.
