Isnt' that pointless ?
What do you expect to come out when combining two enchantments of the same type and level ?
In Snapshot 12w49, doing this would level up the enchantments similar to how combining enchanted items work.
So: Sharpness 2 book + Sharpness 2 book = Sharpness 3 book
What the reporter seems to be saying is you cannot do this anymore.
Was it a bug in 12w49a or intentional ?
You can combine tools in the same manner = 2 Efficiency IV pickaxes can produce an Efficiency V on the anvil.
I should note this bug only happens in Survival, if you combine the books in Creative it does produce improved enchantments.
Should be fixed for 1.4.6. limits enchanted books quite a bit to not be able to combine them.
I'd imagine this is intended... I remember reading somewhere (mojang.com or minecraftforum.net) about how you can enchant certain things in survival, but almost everything in creative or something like that... and this may be the fixed version so you cant get level 30 fortune or something like that. xD
EDIT: what i ment by "So you cant get level 30 fortune" i ment on survival
in 1.4.6 it works, but only in creative mode. And no, it's not intentional. Because if it was, then what's the point in combining enchanted books in creative when you can simply access them from the creative menu. Also, you cannot get a higher level enchantment on a book than what's actually possible to get.
FYI: The bug is still present in the 1.4.6 release.
Confirmed in 1.5 pre-release can only combine enchanted books of the same type and level in creative, but not survival.
