I've decided to test out gold tools with the higher enchantment caps.
Overall, tools with unbreaking 7 seem to last about as long as unenchanted iron tools, except pickaxes.
Looting 5 seems a tad bit over powered, giving me ~40-45 bones ~30-40 arrows for every 10 skeletons.
Looting 4 seems a bit more balanced with ~25-32 bones and ~20-30 arrows every 10 skeletons.
Golden pickaxes with efficiency 7 and unbreaking 7 last a very short time, but produce about 4-6 stacks of cobble in that time, and the mining speed is beautiful.
Knockback III is +9 blocks knockback, and that might be just a tad bit over powered, heck, knockback 1 and 2 can probably be considered overpowered in some cases.
Sharpness 7 IS less than sharpness 5 diamond sword, but will still kill most things in the same amount of hits.
Sharpness 7, unbreaking 7, looting 4/5 gold swords are arguably better than diamond swords with the same enchants at their max cap.
Protection 6 golden armor is just slightly worse than protection 3 diamond armor. (3 hits from zombie to lose 1/2 heart as opposed to diamond's 4 hits)
I was ganna do more, but got side-tracked and lost interest.
Overall, this suggestion essentially turns gold tools into slightly weaker version of diamond tools with the durability of iron tools.
I feel it's a tad bit OP, even if the tools are short-lived. I do like the suggestion, but I also feel that something similar needs to be applied to all tools, as opposed to just gold ones. Overall like 80% support
Thanks for doing all those tests, regardless of whether or not you stopped after a while I also appreciate your support very much! I was sort of going for the tad OP feel, since otherwise they would still end up severely under-used. I'm mainly concerned about making it too op, thus making it once again unbalanced (but OP is worse than UP).
Anyways, thanks again If I forget, remind me to give you credit in the OP

I don't think you have got what i wanted
I mean the Auto-smelt feature will drop iron ingot if you mined iron ore
Or you will get charcoal if you chop down trees
Or glass if you break sand
But the down side is that you can't put Auto-smelting with Slik touch the game will crash if you try to break a block
Ah, I see what you mean. I assumed you meant just with ores (silk touch gives you iron/gold ingot if you break iron/gold ore). Thanks for clarifying!

I really just don't like gold anything ingame. Besides carrots and apples.
No Support. Sorry X.
Well I would like to point out that the entire reason for me suggesting it would be to give a reason for people to actually use gold stuff in -game, cuz I agree right now it's useless.
But either way, thanks for commenting! I appreciate it Buttons the Great!
P.S. take that thread outta your sig, I told you Razalia locked it

Great idea! I particularly like the increased capacity for enchantments on the gold items, and allowing them to break diamond and iron ores. Kudos, you have my full support!
Thanks for your support, and more importantly for sharing your opinion! I appreciate it a bunch
Remember to vote on the polls! I'm pretty sure I made it possible for you to vote for the exact combination you said...
If you have any suggestions you think would make the thread better (or just less bad), feel free to post anytime! Other than that, just thanks again!

But I don't think we should allow librarians to sell the higher extended enchantments, they should be only available through enchanting gold or even chain (a little better enchantments for chain could be fun) directly with lapis lazuli otherwise it would be overpowered.
Also looting should be the same in my opinion than the other weapons, otherwise to get the max loot from monsters you'd be obliged to fight a gold sword and make the other swords less fun to play with

I still don't support this, but i respect you dedication.
And the most redundant and irrelevant post of the day goes to...
Me, because replying to your redundant and irrelevant post made mine even more redundant and irrelevant than yours.
Ahem. OCD.
Well now my post takes the cake Also, I love that that was what made you post on the thread again Shaddy xD

..But if i irrelevantly replay to a post talking about the irrelevantness of an irrelevant post, does that mean i have found another level of irrelevantness?
or have i just wasted my time responding here when i could have thought of a productive way to add to the conversation?

Added a "Concerns" section, which highlights all the problems I can find with the options I proposed. If I've left any out, and you guys can think of any more, please! Feel free to let me know

There is no productivity when Buttons is in the conversation
(To those who don't know, we're all just joking around, we're friends )

Well, why else would I post here? I've stated everything I really have to say. Although if you want to discuss in more detail, we could always do it through Skype or Steam.
Considering we are bumping the thread up, I'd say this is quite productive since it helps others find the thread, adding more opinions and stuff to the discussion.
Oh wait, this is the MCF, the place with a horrible boolean community regarding suggestions.
Ok, at first when I saw this I thought you weren't you, Shaddy since you changed your avatar Nice job, choosing another Nintendo character And I mean you only said much on the old, horrible quality version. I've added new things to the suggestion, like letting gold Picks break iron (and possibly diamond) ore. Also I like bumping the thread
