Talk:Cloud

Adding the Cloud page to redirect to Clouds for when content is filled in - height of clouds, direction of clouds (always floats northward), etc. I feel the current section under Air is kind of misplaced. --meioziz 18:19, 16 November 2010 (CST)

Wording of first sentence
"Clouds are large transparent blocks that serve a mainly aesthetic purpose."

I feel like calling them "blocks" is a bit misleading. However, I personally can't think of a better way to phrase it. Maybe someone else can.

 * I'm not sure about "blocks", but "transparent" is definitely problematic. I suspect the word the person who wrote that was thinking of was translucent. In addition, to reflect that clouds cannot be interacted with, immaterial should be added. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 01:32, 26 April 2017 (UTC)


 * "Immaterial" would be a bit wordy in my opinion. As Sealsbudman suggested, maybe "graphical effects" would work? I agree with the translucent/transparent bit though, that should be changed.

 * I'm not seeing how it would be any wordier than what's there now: "Clouds are large, translucent, immaterial graphical effects...". 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:33, 26 April 2017 (UTC)


 * I think I used the wrong word there. I meant that I don't think "immaterial" is the right word to use because it's a bit of an obscure word, and I'm not even sure it means what you think it does (not saying that in a sarcastic way, since I didn't even know the word existed until you suggested it :P).

 * We might call them "effects" or "graphical effects" or something like that, rather than "blocks" – Sealbudsman talk/contr 01:40, 26 April 2017 (UTC)


 * I think "graphical effects" works.

 * I would support calling them graphical effects, as they do nothing, and do not even appear if the "Beautiful skies" option is disabled. The BlobsPaper.png 00:08, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
