Why does one error and not the other?

I am using Intellij, and it is completely fine with this code

    @Override
    void updateStats() {
        this.armor = this.baseArmor;
        this.power = this.basePower + this.weapon.power;
        this.attackBonus = this.baseAttackBonus;
        for (ToolItem t : equippedArmor) {
            this.armor += t.armor;
        }
        for (ToolItem t : equippedTrinkets) {
            this.attackBonus += t.bonus;
        }
    }

    @Override
    void updateStats() {
        this.armor = this.baseArmor;
        this.power = this.basePower + this.weapon.power;
        this.attackBonus = this.baseAttackBonus;
        for (ToolItem t : equippedArmor) {
            this.armor += t.armor;
        }
        for (ToolItem t : equippedTrinkets) {
            this.attackBonus += t.bonus;
        }
    }

but says this does not work, with the error "method does not override method from it's superclass."

    @Override
    void applyEffects(ArrayList<String> keys) {
        for (String key: keys) {
            switch (key) {
                case "frozen" -> this.power = 0;
                case "stuck" -> this.armor /= 2;
                case "disarmed" -> this.power -= this.weapon.power;
                case "disarmored" -> {
                    for (ToolItem i : this.equippedArmor) {
                        if (i != null) this.armor -= i.armor;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

    @Override
    void applyEffects(ArrayList<String> keys) {
        for (String key: keys) {
            switch (key) {
                case "frozen" -> this.power = 0;
                case "stuck" -> this.armor /= 2;
                case "disarmed" -> this.power -= this.weapon.power;
                case "disarmored" -> {
                    for (ToolItem i : this.equippedArmor) {
                        if (i != null) this.armor -= i.armor;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

Both of these methods are overriding equivalent methods from the class this one extends.

if anyone needs to see, the ones from the base class are

    void applyEffects(ArrayList<String> keys) {
        for (String key: keys) {
            switch (key) {
                case "frozen" -> this.power = 0;
                case "stuck" -> this.armor /= 2;
                default -> {

                }
            }
        }
    }

    void updateStats() {
        this.power = basePower;
        this.armor = baseArmor;
        this.attackBonus = baseAttackBonus;
    }

    void applyEffects(ArrayList<String> keys) {
        for (String key: keys) {
            switch (key) {
                case "frozen" -> this.power = 0;
                case "stuck" -> this.armor /= 2;
                default -> {

                }
            }
        }
    }

    void updateStats() {
        this.power = basePower;
        this.armor = baseArmor;
        this.attackBonus = baseAttackBonus;
    }
