You can submit as many emotes/stickers as you want and each emote or sticker we decide to add will be rewarded with 1,000 Prize Points each up to a maximum of 10,000 Prize Points! (Please note, this does not mean you can only have 10 emotes/stickers added, just that you can only win up to 10,000 Prize Points).
For any emotes/stickers we decide to add, you will also be credited in the Server Artists section!

Our goal is to have some fun and start working together with other big communities on fun collaboration events. In addition to the prizes that the top 10 global winners will receive, we are also going to give prizes to the top 5 entries that come specifically from the Terraria community/server.

In the coming weeks we are also going to be announcing additional fun Summer events in the Terraria community, so you will want to keep an eye out for more as we continue the exciting community celebrations in Terraria's 10th year.

That's it for starters, but we are just getting warmed up. Look forward to hearing about more fun Terraria events during the Summer of 2021!

Can you believe it, Terrarians? The game that we all know and love so much is about to reach its tenth birthday! No doubt, it has been a long and amazing journey that we have enjoyed taking with you - one full of twists and turns, ups and downs, and more than a few surprises along the way. Even crazier is that Terraria is stronger than ever as it heads into its second decade - with no end in sight!

We could not do it or be here without the amazing and passionate support of each and every one of you - so we want to formally invite you to join in on the Terraria Tenth Anniversary Celebration! What all do we have in store?

Check out the current slate of events below - and you will want to keep an eye on this page as we may have another surprise or two in store, you never know....



Happy Birthday, Terraria and Terrarians! Today, the game we all know and love so much turns 10 years old. It has been a great time to look back and reflect on the past as well as look forward to what the future might hold. We hope that everyone has been able to participate in our "Pre-Anniversary" Contests thus far... and is looking forward to what today and the rest of the celebration holds. We did promise a few surprises along the way did we not? Let's dive in and open up this first birthday present...



That's right, Terrarians - the dev team put together their very own birthday gift from us to all of you. Now, this update may not contain any new content (we were serious when we said 1.4.2 was it ;) ) - it does contain a very special celebratory world seed that is unlike any other that we have made previously. Oh, and we did toss in a few neat bug fixes for you while we were at it...

To access this special new World Seed, you will need to figure out its name and enter that into the World Seed field on the World Creation Menu. What is the name of the seed? What surprises await you inside? Well, that is for you to uncover...
​
[h2]TERRARIA 1.4.2.3 CHANGELOG[/h2]

• Added Celebratory Seed
  
• Corrected the damage on Frost Armor's set bonus debuff from 20 to 25 DPS.
  
• Fixed Vulkan and Metal rendering issues that lead to crash, on FNA builds.
  
• Fixed a certain exploit.
  
• Fixed missing tooltip in Queen Slime's treasure bag.
  
• Fixed every vine type except Normal/Flower vines from passing on paint as they grow longer.
  
• Fixed King Slime's spiked minions being able to pick up money and despawn with it, similar to Queen Slime's minions previously.
  

NOTE: Terraria 1.4.2.3 requires a new dedicated server version for those that use it, linked below:

[h3]TERRARIA 1.4.2.3 DEDICATED SERVER APP[/h3]





From May 13th until May 17th, Terraria is half off on Steam! If you have been waiting all this time to try out this amazing 2D sandbox adventure, there is no better time than now. Become a part of the second decade of Terraria... or even bring along a friend or four.

Head on over to our Steam Store Page to pick up - or gift - a copy today!





Of course, you knew we couldn't resist playing an active role in this celebration! The entire Re-Logic team will be conducting an AMA on the r/Terraria Subreddit on May 17th, beginning at 10am Pacific Time. We will do our very best to have as many team members as possible answer each and every question (or at least the ones we have an answer for...). You will NOT want to miss out on this chance to ask the burning questions for the team.

TERRARIA TENTH ANNIVERSARY AMA WITH RE-LOGIC[/h2] (When the event is live, the text above will be a link to the thread on Reddit)

On top of that, be on the lookout for Re-Logic team members hanging out in Discord in the Terraria-Chat channel over the next couple of weeks - we have encouraged everyone on the team to take some time out (as they can) to actively hang out and enjoy the festivities! The link to our Discord Server is below!

It’s celebration time Terrarians!

Incredible to think that it has been 10 years since we set that initial version of Terraria out into the world. From humble beginnings to selling 35 Million copies across all platforms - it all started with a dream and some imagination.

Now it’s your turn to infuse Terraria with your own imagination. In honor of Terraria’s tenth anniversary, we’re having a contest where you get to show off your own creativity and how you envision Terraria. There are categories for all Terrarians, whether you play on PC, Console, Mobile, or even our new Stadia players.

We have a category for Steam Workshop Maps and Texture Packs, a category for Art, a category for Screenshots featuring in-game builds, and even a category for Other - anything that doesn't fit into the first three categories. You can choose to enter any category you'd like, so get your ideas ready, join us to celebrate, and dive in!

[h2]THE CONTEST IS NOW LIVE! CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT THE DETAILS[/h2]





At last, Terrarians, we can reveal the entire AMAZING Tenth Anniversary Art Piece by Bohrokki to you all. Celebrating the multitude of armors and weapons from across the world of Terraria - and the seemingly endless ways to play - this piece reflects upon the community gathering together as much as it does the game itself. We are thrilled to be able to share this fitting work of art with each and every one of you out there. You inspire us to great things.

You will see a nice digital version below for now... and we are working with a handful of merchandise partners to try and bring a variety of printable options your way very soon - from the easy to the fancy/high end. Stay tuned for more on that front!
