The Bug:
Death messages relating to the thorns enchantment don't contain conjunctions where appropriate, unlike every other death message in the game, therefore introducing an inconsistency.
Below is a table I've constructed that lists the affected death messages to show the issue that's present here.
Affected Strings:
Before reading the table, please note the following:
Words colored in GREEN are correct.
Words colored in RED are incorrect.
Translation Key | Current String | Expected String |
|---|---|---|
death.attack.thorns | %1$s was killed trying to hurt %2$s | %1$s was killed while trying to hurt %2$s |
death.attack.thorns.item | %1$s was killed by %3$s trying to hurt %2$s | %1$s was killed by %3$s while trying to hurt %2$s |
h3. Steps to Reproduce:
Locate any of the affected strings as listed above.
Take note as to whether or not death messages relating to the thorns enchantment contain conjunctions where appropriate.
Observed Behavior:
Conjunctions are not present within the affected death messages.
Expected Behavior:
Conjunctions would be present within the affected death messages to maintain consistency with every other death message in the game.
The correct spelling should instead be whilst; see my arguments in this Reddit post.
