Talk:Screen effects

Is there any reason at all for using infoboxes here instead of expanding the summary table to include all that information? Pinging User-12316399 since they added them. - Harristic / Talk 👁 Image

By the way, I would like to note that texture packs from the marketplace can modify quite a few of these overlays and screen effects. I know the carved pumpkin and spyglass overlays are quite often edited to improve visibility. --Simanelix ^(T|C) 21:38, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

It said that originally, but it was removed from the text because it's not from a vanilla texture pack. Uono (talk) 07:41, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

If nobody gives any counter arguments, eventually I'll be merging them. I think it's unnecessary to have two sections for basically the same thing. (It will also make editing easier.) Uono (talk) 18:54, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

OK, you have 2 days to give a counter argument, or I'm merging them. Uono (talk) 14:45, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi,

As the title suggests, I think we should rename this section to "Elder Guardian curses". My reasoning for this is that when this effect is triggered, that is how the game displays it in the subtitles. Any thoughts? XenoXFilesYT (talk) 11:52, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

I will change the name of the section tomorrow (Sunday 27th) if there are no objections. XenoXFilesYT (talk) 23:29, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

This would be fine if it wasn’t for bedrock edition having an entity to handle that screen effect, the name of that entity is “Elder guardian ghost” would be weird if the wiki listed a different name for essentially the same thing. COS wikiuser (talk) 23:34, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

Good point. In that case, I'll leave it as is. What about the table in that section? Should the quotation marks be removed from the header and renamed to match?

I will also remove the notice to update the GIF as I have added a new version. XenoXFilesYT (talk) 23:38, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

We can add both names and use the {{only|Java}} and {{only|Bedrock}} templates. 👁 Image

"curses" in the subtitle is a verb, it's the action of an elder guardian cursing the player - it's not meant to the be the name of the screen effect. Personally I would stick with "Elder guardian ghost" as it's the least conjectural name (literally the ID used for the screen effect in one of the editions). Using {{only}}s would just bloat the section/infobox. Capopanzo (talk | contribs) 18:09, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

You're right, my apologies. I was intending to write "Elder Guardian curse" with no "s". Though it seems like everyone is fine with leaving it as is. XenoXFilesYT (talk) 08:41, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
