Used 50 levels last night to get an Efficiency IV and Silk Touch pickaxe. :D
According to the wiki, you need level 61 for Efficiency V (unless I'm reading it wrong), but I've never seen the numbers go over 50 (max bookshelf stuff), and 50 itself is pretty rare. Am I missing something? I had level 61, but had to settle for a level 50 enchantment.

Link doesn't work?

Today I was trying to get enough levels to get Silk touch on a pickaxe. I left my zombie XP farm running and planned to check back in half an hour or so. I forgot about it though and only remembered after ~2 hours. Minecraft was running at about 1 frame per second. Luckily I had my splash potions of instant health. Which killed most of the zombies. But the amount of XP caused it to lag even more. After about five minutes the lag stopped and I had 30 levels. I then went to enchant a pick and got silk touch first try :D

Also I was at the bottom of a ravine today in search of diamond and iron. I noticed that a lot of mobs like to ambush me by jumping from the top of the ravine to the bottom :p, which brought me quite close to death at times. But I made it out alive with 18 diamond and four stacks of iron.

Fixed it.
I love diamond mining at the bottom of ravines. Blast protection helps alot on your armor. And fire resistance. But i always keep a bucket of water with me and a instant healing potion. They both have saved me so many times since i have a habit of not noticing a creeper next to me. And a habit of walking into lava. But luckily i have learned not to panic but to get my bucket out and cool my self and the lava.

The maximum level you can get in an enchanting table is level 50, which is with 30 bookshelves.

I'm not sure as to the exact formula, but with the way enchanting works, you start out with 50 as like a "base level", and then a random amount is added or subtracted from the total.

Made this since I noticed the speedsolving banner was all squares. The green on my texture pack is pretty dark.

Also would anyone be interested in setting up a small server for cubers? I need help building things.

I've been playing a lot today, and made a portal to the Nether wooooooooooo. I found a fortress so I'm going to explore that soon. And I'm watching antvenom's Hunt for the Ender Dragon series, currently on episode 8. I want to make it to the End some time soon that way I can fight the Ender Dragon.

Remember when you refused to play it because it was boring?
