How Terraria is The Perfect Videogame (and why Minecraft will never be)

It is my belief that Terraria is the perfect videogame, while Minecraft on the other hand missed out on the opportunity to achieve perfection.

[@CafeCharlie]

Ok so it seems like a lot of people are missing the point of this comparison, which is probably my fault for not making it clearer. The point is not to say that "Terraria is better than Minecraft, you shouldn't enjoy or play Minecraft because Terraria is more fun". I'm saying that Terraria is the perfect player experience, it does everything that people want a game to do, while Minecraft misses those things pretty hard. Terraria is cheap, there's basically no monetization, it's on a convenient launcher (steam), there's a small team of loving developers who respond to the community, the game has continued to get free updates for over a decade, and modding was made as convenient and accessable as possible for free. Like I said, Minecraft is not impossible to download and play (and mod), but it has enough annoying barriers that will keep far more people from fully enjoying the game. Whereas Terraria has basically none of those barriers. And to take things a step further, Terraria's development team is practically nonexistent compared to the massive team producing Minecraft, which ultimately is all backed by Microsoft. It's Bill Gates Vs. Redigit and somehow Redigit is able to absolutley demolish Minecraft in it's accessibility and ease of use. As for why I chose to contrast Terraria's perfection to Minecraft's flaws, I mean c'mon I think the best selling video game of all time backed by the ultra giga-corporation Microsoft can handle some criticisms. P.S. Making Minecraft models is easier than making Terraria sprites, fight me

[@maldivesthegamer9774]

I tried making sprites for my terraria mod and it was actual hell Terraria sprites on paper look really basic but make it look super good like how re logic make it is super hard not to mention sprite for block and armor

[@prosandcons-fl2cc]

Im sure models for terraria are probably easier, but you still need some level of skill with pixel art for minecraft

[@jaydenc367]

I disagree, neither are perfect player experiences really, not exactly it has flaws too, not really it does what it is supposed to do. True, those annoying barriers do suck but Minecraft's price is fair. You act like Microsoft it self handles all of Minecraft which isn't really true. It really isn`t Bill Gates vs Redigit. Except A. Teraria itself can be criticized for it's actual in game flaws too B. it is also one of the best selling video games of all time and C. Microsoft does not handle all of Minecraft themselves. You got proof of that final claim? Because I doubt it is true.

[@rainbowdash3419]

in a nutshell Minecraft and Terraria are both good games but they have their own flaws they are perfect in their own way and every update that Minecraft and Terraria gives will have it’s ups and downs, also ignore the name I don’t really care about KZbin besides watching and learning enjoying myself and not stressing about making video’s besides posting art and such rarely on other social media platforms.

i had a world years ago and on my first seed within the first 10 minutes i found an enchanted sword! i was new so i didn’t think much of it and i quit the game for ages. I start the game again thinking of all the memories i created and i went to a new world and started another terraria adventure and im glad it has still got popularity thank you and thank terraria

[@hectic1830]

@@doginpillows20 I usually see this argument as "Minecraft doesn't have content, because the point is to not have content." Like, how would adding content to the game stop you from enjoying it if you already enjoy it without content? Like, wow, Mojang, you added a whole 2 (two) new mobs to the game after that much time? Thanks, that will completely change the way I play Minecraft now. Anything more and it would've "bloated the game", lol Sometimes it feels like Minecraft is on life support, and these sparse updates are just enough to give the impression that it's still "being developed" Personally, I don't think that improving the game with more variety is "bloating" it. I mean, look at Terraria itself, the way that the game grew and expanded over the years, and the way that it reflects on the game progression itself: how you play the game and approach obstacles completely changes as you progress. Even building improves with the tools you acquire. In Minecraft, you pretty much only get better quality gear, with a few exceptions. In Terraria, everywhere you look, there is a new thing: a new NPC, a new block, a new biome, a new enemy, a new weapon type, a new trinket, a new event, a new mount... It's like a Kaleidoscope of content. And whenever you think you've reached the "end" of what it had to give, it comes around with more stuff. Hell, even the world itself changes significantly as you play. Terraria's finite world seems infinitely more alive than Minecraft actual infinite world.

[@nathandominie5974]

Yes!!! Finally someone who understands that both games are masterpieces stop comparing them!

[@thegrayghoul4638]

For me Terraria is the pixel sandbox boss based RPG I wanted Minecraft to be. Over all the years ive generally lost interest in Minecraft due to the lack of new genuine progression and bosses. Instead they seem to be focused on blocks and just adding more irl animals as mobs while modders can do that and then some in 1/20th of the time Mojang can. As great as the nether/cave updates were ive lost passion for the direction Minecraft is going even as a childhood fan and instead picked up Terraria and its everything I wanted Minecraft to evolve into. Terraria makes you feel like a God by the end and MC on the other hand has 3 main bosses two of which (the wither and the elder guardians) have TERRIBLE rewards with extremely niche uses to the point where they are pretty much only worth doing for the sake of it for most players.

[@SarzaelX]

I think the difference is that Terraria is a thoroughly fleshed out game made out of passion and love by a small team of dedicated developers, while Minecraft has become a monetised mess with shallow updates that add features that lead nowhere and don't tie in with anything else in the game, such as copper. One focused on making their game the best it can be, while the other lives off the brand name to sell boring spinoffs to kids.

[@SarzaelX]

​@@thegrayghoul4638I think it would be perfectly okay for Minecraft to have no bosses if they had a direction for their game. Most of the updates are extremely shallow, lack attention to detail and lead nowhere. The bosses are boring because they just exist for the sake of having a boss in the game. The End itself was always an artificial, extrinsic goal in a game where the real fun comes from making up your own goals.

[@FakeGuthix01]

Yeah the appeal of Minecraft for me is building cool shit. The lack of an entire dimension in Terraria means that building stuff just isn't as satisfying. Also, Terraria is fundamentally more of a combat focused RPG with a long series of clear goals that you are railroaded into doing, which is something that I don't care for.

[@CrapZackGames]

[@deblxdee]

The amount of times I came back to Terraria and replayed it is uncountable. I've bought the game almost a decade ago and got about 600-700 hours in it. And almost none of those hours were wasted on main title, but playing and enjoying it. Defeating the wall of flesh, getting the rod of discord, listening to wacky jungle rock while beating a freaking plant, then defeating a moon god is unmatched and every time feels like the first. It's truly an amazing game that makes you feel, you'll get angry when a Wyvern spawns out of nowhere just because you got a block too high while fighting a boss, or you'll feel like you've just finished a shift at work when farming for said rod of discord and immense joy when you finally get to clap Moon Lord cheeks and idiot drops an item you've wanted on the first attempt. And the fact that the game is going to be updated and every update gets called "THE LAST" will always get to you and make you laugh, saying to yourself - "The madlads at it again! They're again lying about the last update of this beautiful game!"

[@Delta_Edits.]

Bro I have it for 2 years and around 700 hours and it became kinda boring I’ve done everything I could possibly do in the game more than once I will have to wait for a new update

[@Mukuta_Pavlov]

​@@Delta_Edits.2000 h player here. Have you tried doing other classes? I used to play mage a lot, played it on release of every major update (5+ times) and got bored a bit. But a few years ago, I tried ranger and Calamity rogue after that, and it was awesome. It was a feeling I had when playing mage for the first time. Just a completely new perspective on the game. How I built my arenas, how I use my armor, which stats are important etc. Fast forward to today I played every class at least 3 times, at least 1 on each difficulty (because of how those were added one after another). And after master mode on every class and Calamity death mode on rogue and summoner, I can now say that every class is equally fun just in a different ways. I still play vanilla game sometimes tho. Just building and relaxing. And if you get bored grinding, install something like luiafk. It may seem cheaty, but I only use it for things and potions I already farmed for a lot before. Generally, using QoL mods speeds up the pacing and allows skipping tedious parts. Pumping up difficulty with mods also helps, since it essentially forces you to either hope for luck and spend tens of tries on bosses or look for stuff to make fights easier and learn something new. I still remember times I defeated bosses on the first try by sheer luck, and times I died even though I thought I was prepared and expected an easy fight. I hope this helps. And remember to take the brakes sometimes. Despite how I love this game I'm rarely able to play more than 2 playthroughs in a row even with different mods.

It’s hard to distinguish a lack of care from the developers or if the lacklustre updates are all due to their creativity essentially being capped.

[@Ethan_Cubed]

they'll never add sharks because they are being hunted to extinction and adding them to minecraft would teach kids that killing sharks gives you a reward. They'll never add furniture because it would limit creativity. having to design your own things like furniture is one of the things that makes minecraft appealing to so many people.

[@mrlampy]

@@Ethan_Cubed the shark one is stupid. Who says you have to hunt them for them to be in the game? Sharks may be hunted frequently but they’re also a key part of reef ecosystems, so teaching kids that instead of “kill shark because shark bad” as so many other forms of media do would do more good than bad, and raise awareness for it similar to how they did with pandas and axolotls. The furniture one isn’t as bad but it’s still not fantastic, even despite the many workarounds, some people may find that what they had in mind is simply impossible or at least overly difficult to pull off and discourage them from trying similar things. It doesn’t have to explicitly be furniture but maybe just more ways to tweak tables and chairs without having too much hassle. The simple ability to right click on stairs and sit down would be even less work to implement but still give players a challenge to add a little extra creativity. Ironically, despite encouraging creativity for players by putting roadblocks for them here and there, when mojang encounters any similar blockages they just give up.

I've played both games for a decent amount of time each, both multiplayer and single player, and I can confidently say that Terraria has been able to keep my attention much longer than Minecraft has. And another thing I like about Terraria that you could've mentioned is the fact that the devs want to have fun making the game just as much as the players want to have fun playing it, they add random joke items just because they thought it would be funny like a whoopee cushion that drops from a worm for some reason or gravity defying cactus balls to annoy players because why not. Compared to Minecraft which feels like it has had joy slowly drained out of it with every update feeling somewhat underwhelming and lacking on some features that they promised before, Terraria's updates just drop whatever the heck the devs find useful, funny, challenging, and/or playful, and let the players have fun with them however they wish

[@brondlini5459]

After the many many controversies (like their reason not to add sharks or the recent anti-gun thing) I feel like mojang despises terraria. Also they're probably politically biased against adding certain stuff to the game (like sharks (again) or fireflies). Not to mention the 1.17, 18, 19 & 20 updates, utter trash (excluding the warden).

I basically know every nook and cranny about terraria yet I always find more and more content to look into and I also find more ways to put a smile on my face, Minecraft though, I basically found out everything the minute I heard of it, and it didn’t take that long, meaning that there isn’t much content to explore or new content being added. sure, I still loooove the game, but terraria takes everything, terraria’s only problem is figuring out when they will forget the game and stop updating it so my cheeks stop hurting from smiling. TERRARIA FOR LIFE

[@Klaus_Kaizer]

I will say, I keep playing Terraria for two reasons: The devs add quality content and actually listen to the community. The constant hype for new updates and weapons and content the devs pump out keeps me playing. Hours and hours have been dumped into one world that I have where I turn the entire thing into a super base for myself, so I can test and collect every item possible. Red (the creator of Terraria), interacts with the community often and is constantly asking for ways to improve the game! The countless ways to play. With the 4 main classes (and countless sub-classes), the game always has a new way for you to run through and beat it! I find myself creating a new world occasionally and screwing around with a brand new character, trying out a play style I never would’ve thought of before! Minecraft is a good game, but Terraria has had more time, love, and effort put into it. I can without a doubt say that I prefer Terraria over Minecraft.

Small correction; the base price for Terraria at launch was $15, lowered to $10 sometime after 2016. It goes on sale all the time, even back in 2011 you had several chances to buy it for as little as $5. Minecraft's 1.0 launched at $26.95 (prior to this you could buy beta access for less and carry access to the "final product"), raised to $30 sometime after 2016. It almost never goes on sale; in fact I don't think I've ever seen it below $20 at best, and that was before the microsoft acquisition. The value comparison has only gotten better over time.

Why Terraria is a great game: -It‘s cheap -It looks colourful -It‘s polished and not buggy -It‘s overflowing with content -It‘s rewarding -It‘s worth your time -You have lots of freedom -It has good music -It‘s highly replayable -You can actually run it on a potato PC -It has a good community -No shitty cash grabs or microtransactions -Devs continue to bring meaningful updates -It has loads of cool mods (AlchemistNPC, Calamity, Fargo‘s etc) and you don‘t have to visit sketchy sites just to download them -And of course, the Goblin Tinkerer who constantly demands all your coins and makes you broke. The list doesn‘t end there, it just keeps on going. Minecraft just isn‘t the same.

I lost my creativity with Minecraft years ago, before, me and my cousins would build very big, great, and sometimes questionable stuff on our superflat world, survival was more of a side quest, for us, creative was where it's at, so many ideas, so much free time on our hands, we would just go way off, building mansions, roller coasters, houses, machines, sus pixel art, you name it, sky really was the limit. And then survival became more and more popular, we got influenced, and with that, we just lost our love and passion for building. Minecraft used to be a game that encouraged creativity, but now, it's just all gone, beating the game continuously can only keep you entertained for so long, the fun came from the buildings and magnificent art we would all create, now, this trend of "beating the game" has completely made that fun obsolete.

Minecraft in my opinion lost much of its charm when it was bought my microsoft. Originally the game was made with the idea to have a game that you can just pick up and play, having virtually no restrictions (other than those in the game). It let you play the game your own way, and have fun with the community focused on its creative aspects. With that said, minecraft was meant to be a sandbox oriented game, but because of microsoft, not only did the core programming of blocks change, making it more difficult to load into worlds, but they added so many other additions to the game that feels like a cry for help to make the game as fun as it used to be.

It really didn't lose any of it's charm though really. The core programming of blocks didn't change and it is not more difficult to load into worlds, it really doesn't feel like a cry for help as the game is still as fun as it used to be actually it is arguably more fun then it used to be.

[@lazarmarkovic8382]

@@jaydenc367 I beg to differ. Although I'm not entirely sure about the coding itself, I've heard rumours from data miners that blocks are now rendered as 6-figure panels rather than one solid 3D figure. My personal "evidence" of this is that I could run minecraft smooth as butter on most PCs, but now even on my relatively strong PC I have to deal with longer loading time and even when it loads, it's severely laggy to play properly. Like, understand that minecraft with added shaders need some of the more better and expensive graphics cards, to the point where minecraft with shaders outclasses 95% of any high quality game in terms of graphics, and the other 5% just include data bombs. If you find it more fun, that's your own opinion, but I think it's fair to say that minecraft officially lost its charm when we have to vote for a new mob every half a year or so.

[@djzanderoni6095]

​@@lazarmarkovic8382I don't think that the rendering change you heard of is the reason why Minecraft doesn't run as well now. A solid 3d model for every block can mean that blocks could have 5 sides not viewable, whereas 6 panels lets those potential 5 panels be unrendered. I think the main changes were due to the increase of world height along with Minecraft just not being the most well put together game.

I just want to rant about updates for a bit. Terraria 1.4.5 is in development right now. At first, it was going to be a small update that released some new items from its Dead Cells crossover. But as time went on, people kept asking for more stuff. And since the update was already taking time, Red obliged. We have already seen hundreds of new changes, from new items to QoL updates. And a huge chunk of them from the community. Every time we get an update for this game, its full of community ideas and new things. 1.4 exists because it became such a huge update that Red basically said "Fuck it, its 1.4. Throw every idea you have at me." Minecraft, on the other hand, has its once a year mob vote where a KZbinr decides they like a mob and their community causes it to get added to the game.

[@Wufflezz2]

As a Terraria and Minecraft player, that has been playing both for years, I can confidently say *Your statement are absolutely correct.* It really are a shame when Microsoft just decided to squeeze the heck out of Minecraft. If I'm being honest, I feel like Minecraft has lost its soul it used to have. The enjoyment and fun have decreased by a mile. I think everyone can agree that Minecraft rarely listen to us, nor they jump in to be part of the community, unlike the devs of Terraria. I hope Microsoft realize just how bad their decision are by making this small and almost _meaningless_ update to Minecraft (such as the mob vote...) Because in my opinion, if this keeps going, the Minecraft we know and love could potentially meet its end.

[@Wufflezz2]

Oh, and one thing to add why Terraria's player experience are better in my opinion are the progression. Minecraft's game progression hasn't changed much, while Terraria do. But, Minecraft whole focus is about creativity though, so it's understandable why there aren't any major progression update.
