Terraria Turns Eleven - Town Slimes Are Coming to Celebrate the Occasion!

11 years ago, Terraria was shared with the world for the first time, and 11 years later, Terraria remains our Labor of Love – a game that is like a child to us. We have enjoyed watching Terraria evolve and grow over the years and equally continue to enjoy the outpouring of support from all of you. Thank you all so very much!

We look forward to continuing the Terraria journey with you for many more years to come – be it on Terraria or other games in the franchise.

In celebration of Terraria’s 11th Anniversary, we are proud to introduce the latest addition to our Pet License roster: Town Slimes! This cast of characters is packed with personality and players will get the chance to have one Town Slime move into their towns when the Labor of Love update comes out later this year.

[h2]TERRARIA - LABOR OF LOVE UPDATE[/h2]

The team has made a ton of progress on the Labor of Love update over the past month - and the finish line is in sight. Recently, we have been conducting a huge playthrough with the entire team alongside our trusty playtesters. What are we testing you ask? Well, it's a combination of all of the new stuff we added... and we are playing it on a brand new world seed that is unlike anything Terraria has seen before! What will await you in this new adventure? You will have to wait and see on that, I'm afraid. In the meantime, enjoy some Fart Kart...

Hey, quit crapping around! We have work to do!!

Want some more tidbits? Ok then fine...

So, we heard you all might like some Coral Furniture - something to really bring the beach home to your base. Feast your eyes on this!

Who doesn't love a good World Seed, right? And traps, everyone hates traps right? This one will totally scratch that itch for all you trap-haters out there.

What else does Labor of Love have in store? When will it arrive? Well, you will have to stay tuned to find out!

TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM

Hello everyone!

Hello everyone!

We have some definite progress this month that you will want to check out - tML will be doing monthly previews starting in April... and an update on tML 1.4 timing. Want all of the details? Read on!

April has been a big month for tML and it's looking like May will be an even bigger month. Some major mods have started the port to tML 1.4, and they have provided valuable feedback in the process. We'll start May with a focus on a built-in mod porting tool, tModPorter (thanks to Chik3r and Tomat from the community!), which will automate small code changes which have to be made in thousands of places, reducing the amount of manual effort required from modders. We ask modders to keep an eye on tML development, come chat with us in the Discord, and start porting their mods to 1.4 to be ready for when tML 1.4 launches!

As always, you can keep track the current progress and such more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)

Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)

CONSOLE/SWITCH/MOBILE CONTENT PARITY TO 1.4.3 REMAINS THE FOCUS[/h2]

Parity at last! Well at least for a little while...

That's right Console Terrarians, in case you missed it, the 1.4.1 - 1.4.3 updates went live for Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch yesterday! So, at least until Labor of Love comes out, all Terrarians are at parity in terms of the core content of the game. Want to learn more about what all is included in this latest Terraria update? Click the banner below to head over to the official launch thread to get all of the juicy details!

Not to be outdone, Mobile Terrarians also received the 1.4.1 - 1.4.3 update yesterday! That's right, after yesterday's events, all actively-developed platforms of Terraria are on the same content version. This has only happened once for a VERY brief time (and to be fair, Labor of Love will break it again until we can catch back up), so this is certainly a momentous occasion. Of course, once Labor of Love is out, we will begin the work to get everyone back to parity as quickly as possible.

This update also comes with official support for Mouse and Keyboard on Mobile - in case you missed that last month.

Rest assured that once Labor of Love is out, the team at DR Studios will be hard at work to once again restore parity to the world of Terraria!

Someone beat Terraria hard mode with 1 HP and no dodges

A player has beaten the toughest Terraria hard mode difficulty in a one-HP run with no dodges, making us all look bad. The player took on the survival game's Journey mode For the Worthy in master mode with a slim chance of victory, and yet made it all the way through and defeated the final Terraria boss.

It's nearly eleven years since Terraria released and players are still finding new challenges to take up, even with the absence of Terraria 2 news. A previous game update introduced the 'For the Worthy' world with increased difficulty, which then can, in turn, be played on 'Master' level and then Journey mode - all of which together create a near-impossible Terraria challenge.

Well, Reddit user the_true_lazyguy clearly laughs in the face of impossibility, as they also added a few Terraria mods to give them just one HP of health and removed the ability to dodge hits with items like Hallowed armour and Black Belt. Then, with all this in place, they went and "finally" beat the game. Somehow.

This Pokémon-based Terraria mod is a "passion project" you can try now

A group of fans is making a Terraria mod that ought to scratch the itch of any Pokémon fan who fancies some creature catching on our native platform. We may never get an official Pokémon game for PC with all the typical bells and whistles you'll see in Scarlet or Violet, but that's not stopping modders from filling the void.

Terramon is an upcoming mod for Terraria that'll feature plenty of pocket pals, catching, and battling. One of the developers tells me that it's been in development since 2019, though work is on and off. "It's not my main focus which is why even now, in 2022, it's barely completely finished," Jamz tells us. "It's more of a passion project I work on when I have time. Sometimes when I have bursts of energy I'll work on it for longer."

The mod's conception arrived as another project went awry, with Jamz believing that a mashup of Pokémon and Terraria would "just fit well together". You can currently play a work-in-progress version of the mod, though Jamz says it's essentially just a "pets mod with some unique features like a catching mechanic and advanced user interfaces".

Your Terraria inventory is about to get a massive upgrade

Terraria's next final update (I really don't know how many more 'final update' jokes I can keep making) is going to make inventory management a whole lot easier. The devs at Re-Logic have already said that Terraria 1.4.4 is focused more on balance changes and quality-of-life improvements, and today they've revealed a particularly notable update.

The maximum stack size is getting ten times bigger than its current limit of 999. "Simply put, we are increasing the stack size of nearly every stackable item in the game to 9999," the devs say in the latest monthly update blog post. "Please note that there are some exceptions to this, but only around ten to 15 which had to be kept as-is for mechanical purposes."

1.4.4, or the 'Labour of Love' update is set to arrive sometime "later this year". If you want to know everything that's been confirmed for the update so far, you can check out the official wiki (which has recently been brought under new management).
