Fifteen Years?! That is a long time indeed! That's 131,400 hours - which quite a few of you have chosen to spend with our humble game. To say that reaching this milestone is equal parts insane and humbling is a massive understatement. It is really hard to put into words what your support for these many years has meant to our little studio. Simply put, you all are the engine that makes this all work. Your support allows us to keep going, keep expanding upon Terraria, without having to fall back to price increases or microtransactions. This is becoming increasingly rare in modern gaming, and we cannot thank you enough for making what we do every day possible.

From the hardcore players with thousands of hours to those just discovering our "metroidvania in a sandbox" today... from the builders to the speedrunners... from those that we interact with regularly in our community to those that just enjoy the game in silence... from those that are regular Terraria enjoyers to those that like to shake things up with all sorts of mods on tModloader... each and every one of you are precious to us. We hope that our game has brought you some joy over the years. Terraria is a unique experience one that we like to think that we have shaped together alongside the fans into the awesomeness that it is today. This is as much your journey as it is ours!

We thought that it might be fun to toss out some quick numbers to mark the occasion...


Total: 70 Million

• PC: 39.6m
  
• Console: 10.7m
  
• Mobile: 19.7m

tModLoader: 12.3m downloads on Steam

• Terraria: 461k (peaked at 1.4m)
  
• tModLoader: 237k (peaked at 441k)

(Steam counts Terraria and TML separately)

• Terraria: 101 Hours, 18 Minutes
  
• tModLoader: 89 Hours, 52 Minutes

How about you - how many hours have you played? When did you start? What is your favorite memory of your time with Terraria?

So, where does the path lead from here? What does the future hold for Terraria and Re-Logic?

Well, for now we are comfortable confirming that Crossplay is on deck soon... and that Terraria Updates will continue beyond 1.4.6/Crossplay. How that will work and what those entail will be shared as we go along. You will want to stay tuned for that!

Beyond that, we have other plans and ideas that we will share when the time is right, but suffice to say that the world of Terraria remains and will remain vibrant and alive for as long as we have anything to say about it!

Here's to 15 more years... and beyond!

In celebration of the 15th Anniversary of Terraria, we have been working with a couple of trusted partners to put together a few items that we hope that everyone will enjoy. Check out the details below - and if you have any interest, go ahead and get your preorder in today.


To mark the occasion of Terraria reaching 15 years, we have been working on a 15th Anniversary Collector's Edition box set. While we are not quite ready to kick off preorders just yet, we wanted to give you a little teaser of what is to come. There is some really cool stuff in this CE, and we think you are going to enjoy it.

Expect to receive full details and for preorders to open up sometime in early June. Until then, speculate away!


We’re thrilled to announce a partnership between Lost In Cult and Re-Logic to celebrate Terraria’s 15-year anniversary!

Terraria: Design Works will be available for pre-order when it launches on Thursday 28th May at 6pm BST.

For those that are not familiar, the Design Works series offers a glimpse behind the curtain - into the journey of Terraria the game and the team behind it. A retrospective look back on the phenomenon that is Terraria. Fun stories from dev-land, never-before-seen artwork, and more! The Re-Logic team has had a lot of fun so far in sharing the ups and downs of how we got here and where we are going.

The book will be available standalone or as part of a Deluxe Edition complete with a suite of extras. A must have for all Terraria fans!

Greetings Terrarians!

How in the world is it almost Summer already?! It feels like 1.4.5 launch was just yesterday... Our team has been head-down working away on post launch support for 1.4.5 and we really think everyone is going to enjoy what is coming soon in Terraria 1.4.5.7. You will get to see a bit more of that in the update sections below in this State of the Game. As it is balance focused, we are certain there will need to be some tweaks in what we assume will be 1.4.5.8 before we can hopefully - at long last - call 1.4.5 done and move on to the wonderful world of Crossplay. We received our Terraria Board Game copies as well, but we haven't really had time to dive in yet. There is so much more in the works for this year, it should be a fun ride!

Shall we jump right in and see what this month's SOTG has in store?



As mentioned previously, for 1.4.5.7, balance is the name of the game. What sorts of things have we been looking into, you might wonder... well, for example, we've added some new tools to handle frustrations in combat (aggro, invisible hitboxes, ranges, boss attacks, following on Gastropods shooting you offscreen, for example). We're also giving some less popular items fresh new life, and adding new items for niche playstyles. Of course, there are other places we are exploring, but that gives you a flavor for the scope of what 1.4.5.7 is tackling - and why its taking a good bit longer than the other 1.4.5.X fixes.

In the process of our balance work, we have lots of deep and winding discussions about various issues and how best to tackle them. Those discussions spark a lot of other discussions, which lead to things like what we wanted to share with you this month...

A fun new minion for Summoners that don't mind getting their hands dirty...

Keep your thoughts and feedback rolling in, it is always helpful for us to take into account. Hopefully, we will have 1.4.5.7 wrapped up soon!

Hello everyone!

On May 1st the regular monthly update release of tModLoader for 1.4.4 will go live. It contains various bug fixes and some small features. We will continue to update the 1.4.4 version of tModLoader with bug fixes as we work on updating tModLoader to the Terraria v1.4.5 update (Bigger and Boulder).

The tModLoader team has spent most of our efforts this past month continuing work on updating tModLoader to the Terraria 1.4.5 update. Last month we mentioned that the initial process of porting the tModLoader code changes to the Terraria 1.4.5 update was complete and that we were ready for experienced contributors to help us. Since then we've had many community code contributions from experienced modders who have answered the call. Work on updating tModLoader to better support several new Terraria features has been progressing smoothly. Many regression fixes and bug fixes have also been made. We are extremely grateful for those willing to help with this process. The tModLoader team will continue to work with experienced modders to progress towards the tModLoader 1.4.5 update.

This process as well as any other big changes desired by the modding community for this update will take many months still. There are still many tasks to be done, if you are interested in contributing code for the 1.4.5 update, the 1.4.5 Update Information page has information on how to contribute and what tasks remain to be done. That page also explains how to join the "1.4.5-dev" beta branch. Users can join that beta branch to help identify and report remaining bugs, but please don't expect that version of the game to be stable.

We ask that players and modders remain patient as we work on the update. tModLoader will continue to work as expected during this process, but please note that Terraria players and worlds played on the 1.4.5 update can not be migrated to and used on current tModLoader.

Modders and users should also keep an eye out for our monthly Steam announcement on the 1st where a complete listing of bug fixes and API changes for this month's release will be listed. The in-game news button on the main menu will direct you directly to the announcement once it is live.

We look forward to seeing how mods make use of these new features. As always, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our FAQ on github[github.com] or reach out to us at our Discord[discord.com].

The TML Steam Workshop has over 10,000 mods for you to enjoy! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!

Hello Terrarians!

Another month of keeping stride with the PC side along with working on ahandful of other backend adjustments has been the name of the game on our end. We are really hoping that this enables us to get 1.4.5.7 out as close to PC as possible, and things are looking pretty good there so far! Beyond that, the team continues preparations for crossplay as the next step down the Terraria path. The more we get done now, the better and sooner that can happen!

All that said, let's have a second peek at what the PC section was covering, shall we...

Daybloom... not just for sticking in pots and potions anymore!

Hello Terrarians!

Chris here, lead developer at Paper Fort Games. In this month’s Terraria: The Board Game designer diary, we’ve reached a major milestone; Kickstarter fulfilment is now complete!

Late pledge orders are also on their way, and there are still a limited number of games and playmats available while stocks last; you’ll find more details below.

We’re also taking a moment to showcase the final game in all its glory. If you’ve been waiting on the sidelines, now is a great time to take a look and secure the Kickstarter edition before it’s gone.

Grab your pickaxes and let’s dig in!

---

KICKSTARTER FULFILLMENT COMPLETE
Other than a handful of pending playmat deliveries to backers in some territories requiring special customs clearance, we are delighted to announce that fulfilment of Terraria: The Board Game to Kickstarter backers is complete!

If you recently placed a late pledge via BackerKit, your order will be shipped from your local hub soon. Pre-order details are sent to hubs weekly, and your order will be marked as fulfilled on BackerKit once it leaves the warehouse.

MISSED THE PLAYMAT?
Good news; a limited number of playmats remain available for those who missed out during the campaign - grab yours here: Pre-order ⛏ Terraria: The Board Game on BackerKit[terraria-board-game.backerkit.com]

Even if you don’t own the game, the back of the playmat features an evocative WoF vs Terrarian scene by the fantastic George Doutsiopoulos - perfect as a desk mat or playmat for your favourite card games.

GAME SHOWCASE

We wanted to take the opportunity to showcase the final Kickstarter edition of Terraria: The Board Game in its completed form. Below are shots of the Kickstarter edition, which includes exclusive modular boss miniatures, foiled cards, dual layer boards, Developer promo packs and more!

You can buy final copies of the Kickstarter edition at Pre-order ⛏ Terraria: The Board Game on BackerKit .

We wanted to include as many of your favourite biomes, weapons, enemies, NPCs and achievements as we could - Terraria: The Board Game contains a huge amount of content and replayability. And yes… there are yoyos!

All of that content is organised using a bespoke tray system, ensuring that everything is neat, easily accessible and quick to set up.

One of our key goals was making player progression feel tangible and customisable; the game features dual layer player boards that allow players to securely slot in gear, armor, and vanity loadouts as they build their character over time. Transparent cards let you see your character change before your eyes!

The game features six iconic bosses, each with unique behaviours, represented with a distinct colour-cast miniature that physically evolves as the fight progresses.

You can get the deluxe edition of Terraria: The Board Game here: Pre-order ⛏ Terraria: The Board Game on BackerKit[terraria-board-game.backerkit.com] .

THANK YOU!
A huge thank you to everyone who has supported the project and helped bring Terraria into the physical world.

Our goal was always to translate the spirit of the video game into a physical experience, and seeing it in players’ hands has been incredibly rewarding for the whole team.

Until next time, Terrarians!

Greetings Terrarians!

Spring is finally here - we think - sort of? Seriously, last week we had both 80F days and a day of snow. Come on nature, make up your mind! On a serious note, work on 1.4.5.7 continues unabated. As we mentioned previously, this post launch fix update is heavily focused on balance. Console and Mobile continue to chase right behind while preparing for Crossplay. The Terraria Board Game Kickstarter copies are finally hitting the hands of players (exciting!). It really has been an eventful month - and year - so far, with so much more to come. With all that being said, shall we dive into the details?

What lies in wait for Terrarians everywhere this month?



March saw the release of 1.4.5.6 for PC. This was mostly a bug/exploit-focused hotfix, with only a few additions that were mostly related to localization feedback. We know it was hard to follow the act that was 1.4.5.5's dash button, but bug fixes are important too! We can certainly see the light at the end of the tunnel at this point, we hope. We also know that 1.4.5.7 will be a bit of a different and more difficult beast to tackle.

If you missed any of the hotfixes thus far, you can find those changelogs here:


As mentioned previously, for 1.4.5.7, the team has been hard at work under the hood since then focusing mostly on balance. To remind everyone of our philosophy going into that work, we wanted to re-share the below from our earlier "Status Update" post:

We're already looking into some adjustments based on the feedback shared from everyone. It's too early to share anything - but we're cooking. This includes looking at individual items as well as the performance of the various classes in the game. It isn't a feasible goal for every class to have exactly the same performance given their different tradeoffs, but we do want to be sure that every class feels viable, fun, and at least in the same ballpark power-wise at similar skill levels. What that looks like remains to be seen - but we are giving things a look.

We have gone through threads upon threads of feedback on this front. We have checked in with our testers of varying experience and levels of expertise. You can probably be pretty confident that we have seen almost any complaint on top of reading countless suggestions at this point in the process. That isn't to say we know it all, but we do have a a decent idea where the pain points are in the class/item balance ecosystem. We are also going to be clear that we are not looking to go and tweak every item in the game - rather we are focusing on the areas of most need (for example, early game Mage) and seeing what we can do to bring things in line for each class with the primary goal being to make things more fun and interesting. We know that whatever we put out for 1.4.5.7 will draw a wide array of opinions/feedback. We just ask that everyone keep in mind that we have clearly shown that we are listening - but at some point, we as developers have to make the final call on some things. Sometimes, different groups of players have directly opposing opinions on a topic, for example, and we have to make a judgement call. All that said, we do think that Terraria 1.4.5.7 will be a nice step in the right direction.

All that said, you probably came here for a little spoiler, right? Obviously, early game Mage is a space where there have been few options since the release of Terraria...

What if we told you that Gem Staves have been learning some new tricks...

Well, that's it for this month, Terrarians. Keep the notes coming in, and definitely keep your eyes peeled for the remaining 1.4.5 fix/patches that will be coming your way soon! Then it is on to Crossplay and then...

Hello everyone!

On April 1st the regular monthly update release of tModLoader for 1.4.4 will go live. This month's release contains a few bug fixes and new interfaces to allow more customizable and lower boilerplate autoloading. As always we are grateful for the massive amount of community participation in developing and testing new features each month. We will continue to update the 1.4.4 version of tModLoader with bug fixes as we work on updating tModLoader to the Terraria v1.4.5 update (Bigger and Boulder).

In our continued efforts to provide a safe environment for all players, we recently introduced a Workshop Rules Agreement (https://store.steampowered.com/workshopeula/1281930/). Modders publishing to the Steam Workshop will be required to accept these rules the next time they publish an update or new mod. We encourage modders to review the rules and keep them in mind as they create mods. We hope these new rules as well as our continued moderation will help keep players safe.

In regards to updating tModLoader to the Terraria 1.4.5 update, we mentioned last time that it is an involved process that will take many months. The tModLoader team spent this last month moving thousands of code changes over to the new Terraria source code. Now that this initial process is mostly complete, the code is in a state where we are ready for experienced contributors to help us go the rest of the way in restoring any remaining functionality. This process as well as any other big changes desired by the modding community for this update will take many months still.

We ask that players and modders remain patient as we work on the update. tModLoader will continue to work as expected during this process, but please note that Terraria players and worlds played on the 1.4.5 update can not be migrated to and used on current tModLoader.

Modders and users should also keep an eye out for our monthly Steam announcement on the 1st where a complete listing of bug fixes and API changes for this month's release will be listed. The in-game news button on the main menu will direct you directly to the announcement once it is live.

Hello Terrarians!

Alongside the PC version, we remain hard at work on patches this month. 1.4.5.5 went live last week, containing fixes to some of the most pervasive bugs we've seen reported, with 1.4.5.6 to follow today (it may even be out for everyone - except Switch, where we are waiting on approvals - as of the posting of this State of the Game). Suffice it to say that bugs will always be on our horizon when releasing updates - but in addition to that, we are also constantly reading your critiques and looking for things to improve.

On that note, one piece of feedback we've received recently pertains to our crafting menu - notably that there are a few missing features / inconsistencies compared to PC. Though touch / gamepad considerations prevent us from making it completely 1:1 with PC in terms of appearance, we wanted to take some time to address what we could - namely colours, layout, size, quantities, categories and bulk crafting directly accessible from workstations.

Though bulk crafting requires a little bit more time in the oven before we're ready to show it off, we have the other changes ready to share with you today. Here's an interim look at the new crafting UI!

(We know this is on imgur - sorry UK folks, the file was just too large to get onto Steam, where the file size limit is REALLY small and we haven't found a great third party alternative that works with Steam yet)

Note that this is still fairly early on, and subject to change in future patches. That said, we hope this helps bring the menu more inline with PC, and are looking forward to seeing how everyone finds it!

Hello Terrarians!

Chris here, lead developer at Paper Fort Games. This month’s Terraria: The Board Game designer diary is a relatively brief one as we push through the final stages of fulfilment.

After a brief hiatus - because the State of the Game last month should have been pretty obvious haha - we are back again with the usual monthly update across the world of Terraria. What a time it has been since our last SOTG - Terraria 1.4.5 released and has seen several rounds of fixes already (with more to come), a handful of new merch products released (details on that below), and planning is well underway for "what comes next". We will be hitting on all of those topics alongside our usual community pieces this month. Before we launch into all of that, we wanted to thank everyone for the overwhelming response to Terraria 1.4.5 and for your diligent reporting, feedback, and more as we go through our usual post-launch fixes and tweaks. You have once again proven that the Terraria fans are the best fans across all of gaming.

What a great start to the year - shall we take a peek at what's to come?



Well, we certainly kicked off 2026 with a bang, didn't we? Terraria 1.4.5: Bigger & Boulder released on January 27 across the globe and across all platforms and received a truly outstanding reception. We saw one of the largest player spikes in the history of the game (nearly twice the size of Labor of Love), peaking out at almost 230,000 concurrent players. To say that we are blown away once again by how you support our game and our team is the understatement of all time. Thank you a million times over!

Of course, no update has been or ever will be perfect on launch. No matter how much we test things (and we do), releasing an update out to millions of players will bring forth bugs and issues that the team did not find or anticipate. Such was the case with 1.4.5 - but also as usual, you all have been amazing with your detailed bug reports and feedback rounds. This allowed us to release several hotfix rounds (five as of this writing), and we still have some more things we want to address before we will feel comfortable calling 1.4.5 done.

If you missed the hotfixes, you can find those changelogs here:

So, what are we focusing on for the remaining post launch updates for Terraria 1.4.5? We won't dive into a ton of detail just yet, but here is some insight as to the topic areas that we are looking into moving forward...

BUGS - We're trying to take down every issue we see, prioritizing playability problems. We've also been looking at some quite thorough reports that could help Terraria's modability.

BALANCE - We've begun tuning many of the different items and enemies. Many are still too early to call. Balance work takes a lot more time and iteration than more straight-forward fixes, so we would ask for your patience on that front while we work through that process.

MORE ITEMS - We're experimenting with adding a few long requested items. What those may be will remain a mystery for now...

QUALITY OF LIFE - Following the update many of you have brought up great suggestions and improvement requests. We are doing our very best to follow up on these. Expect some more hotkeys and other gameplay adjustments to come down this road.

WIDESCREEN - We've begun experimenting towards more official Widescreen support. Unfortunately, Widescreen formats mess with a lot of the ways Terraria works at a fundamental level. Many adjustments are still necessary before this can become a reality and meet our standards. We cannot promise anything here just yet - but we are giving it a try just to see if there is any way to make it work well.

BUILDING/BUILDERS - Our latest internal beta took a step towards a very exciting potential feature for builders. Want a preview? Of course you do!

What could this possibly be?FONTS & LOCALIZATION - We're collecting all of your reports and working towards improvements on various fronts here. We just wanted to be sure that you know that we have heard the issues being raised and they are on our list.

Well, that's it for this month, Terrarians. Keep the notes coming in, and definitely keep your eyes peeled for the remaining 1.4.5 fix/patches that will be coming your way soon! What comes after that... well, keep reading to find out!

Hello everyone!

On March 1st the regular monthly update release of tModLoader for 1.4.4 will go live. This month's release contains various bug fixes and smaller features. As always we are grateful for the massive amount of community participation in developing and testing new features each month. We will continue to update the 1.4.4 version of tModLoader with bug fixes as we work on updating tModLoader to the Terraria v1.4.5 update (Bigger and Boulder).

In regards to updating tModLoader to the Terraria 1.4.5 update, it is an involved process that will take many months still. The tModLoader team is hard at work moving thousands of code changes over to the new Terraria source code. Once this initial process is completed, we will be ready to accept community contributions to further adjust the tModLoader API to changes made in 1.4.5 and any other big changes desired by the modding community.

We ask that players and modders remain patient as we work on the update. tModLoader will continue to work as expected during this process, but please note that Terraria players and worlds played on the 1.4.5 update can not be migrated to and used on current tModLoader.

Modders and users should also keep an eye out for our monthly Steam announcement on the 1st where a complete listing of bug fixes and API changes for this month's release will be listed. The in-game news button on the main menu will direct you directly to the announcement once it is live.

We look forward to seeing how mods make use of these new features. As always, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our FAQ on github[github.com] or reach out to us at our Discord[discord.com].

The TML Steam Workshop has over 10,000 mods for you to enjoy! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!


The whole team at DR and 505 are really happy with how the v1.4.5 release has been received on both mobile and console. It’s been so great to read all your feedback as we continue to roll out patches to address your concerns. We wanted to take this opportunity to update you on the progress towards crossplay between PC, server, mobile and console.

Let’s summarize where we are currently so that we have some context for where we plan to go from here. Back in 2019, having spent a year optimising and building a new touch interface on top of the PC codebase, we released v1.3.0.7 on mobile. Using the raw source code directly from PC meant that we would get crossplay compatibility for free. Assuming your PC, dedicated server and mobile are all on the same release version, many of you will have been enjoying crossplay since this release.

Using the same codebase, we then picked up all console versions with our take on controller input, and released v1.4.0.5 in 2021. Since then, we have teased that we already have crossplay functioning between all platforms. This is thanks to them all using the same PC codebase and the magic of TCP/IP networking. However, you will have noticed that crossplay support did not materialize with the original v1.4.0.5 release or even the latest v1.4.5 release on console.

Cross-platform multiplayer on consoles requires a great deal of cooperation with the likes of Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo. We have to respect the safety and privacy of their players, which requires much more stringent checks before we can release crossplay support. We’re happy to say that we believe we have now met all of those requirements, and are ready to start submitting crossplay enabled builds to them for review.

---


Now a little detail about what we mean when we say “crossplay”. As we already said, crossplay has been live on mobile, PC and server for many years now. This is the technical foundation of crossplay that internally we refer to as Phase 1. If you know the IP address and port number of your host, you can type it into any client to connect to their session. This is the functionality that we plan to initially release on console to complete Phase 1.

The UI was overhauled in v1.4.5 to support this, and many of you are discovering the changes to the Multiplayer Join and Host screens. Your console friends continue to appear in the Friends section of the Join screen. From mobile, we are bringing to console the Local section, which lists any devices on your LAN (i.e. Wi-Fi) that are hosting a multiplayer session. Similarly, if you host a session on console on your local network, then other players will be able to join through the same UI.

The Remote section from mobile is also coming to consoles. This is a list of known servers on the internet that you have previously connected to. These would usually be dedicated servers that you host yourself or have rented. We have also added UPnP support when hosting a session, which attempts to liaise with your internet router to open a port that you can then share with your friend.

So that’s Phase 1 of crossplay, already available on PC, server and mobile, coming to consoles very soon. You can play crossplay sessions between any devices on your local network. You can also connect remotely over the internet between any devices if you know their IP address and port. This gives us the stable foundation to build the next phase.

As many of you are finding on mobile, the crossplay on your local network works seamlessly with no technical knowledge required. However the remote crossplay is temperamental and complex to set up reliably. Although the UPnP support added in v1.4.5 goes some way to help this, it only works if you have the router and network environment that supports it. Some of you are using VPN-like services such as ZeroTier, Hamachi or Radmin to bypass these restrictions.

---

For Phase 2, we really want to make built in, cross-platform, cross-network multiplayer as seamless as possible and accessible to all. Truly crossplay. We would like anyone hosting a multiplayer game to be able to share their session ID or join code with any player on any platform on any network. We are building on top of the Phase 1 foundation with this goal. Once Phase 1 is released on consoles, we’ll follow up with progress on Phase 2 and further details.

Very few games can say they have full crossplay between all PC, server, mobile and console versions. We are committed to bringing Terraria multiplayer to as many players as we can. I’m sure there will continue to be questions beyond what we’ve laid out here such as regarding cross-progression, cross-saves or mod support. We hope to get onto all that in good time. For now, we’re focussing on getting Phase 1 released on consoles and supported on PC, server and mobile. We’re then straight back to work on Phase 2 and beyond.

In the meantime, we would really like to hear about your own multiplayer requirements: what does crossplay mean to you and your friends?

This month, we bid farewell to Stephen Takowsky, Senior Digital Content & Engagement Manager and Terraria Community Manager at 505 Games. He was instrumental in building up the Terraria community during his time with us - particularly the Terraria Discord Server. We wish him nothing but the very best in his journey ahead!

Until next time, Terrarians - we hope you have an amazing month, and we look forward to bringing you the latest and greatest next time!

Happy launch day, Terrarians!

At long last, today is the day: Terraria 1.4.5 is here! What better way to kick off the year of Terraria's 15th Anniversary, right? We know the wait has been a long one, but we hope that everyone enjoys what this latest update has in store. As always, we will be posting any hotfixes or important information regarding Terraria 1.4.5 here in this launch post thread, so you will want to keep an eye on this one for sure.

Focusing on the goal of a global, synchronized launch across all platforms and regions, we will be rolling out today on PC, Console, and Mobile everywhere except for the bespoke China Mobile version. A combination of factors led to this. The Chinese mobile edition offers online features based on official servers, which will require additional server migration work upon receiving the complete 1.4.5 content code, followed by a formal review process for the new materials. The completion and release of version 1.4.5 is also very close to the Chinese New Year, and that after the work of porting and localization review, there remains an essential phase of internal testing, which we consider crucial to ensuring a polished gameplay experience. Re-Logic, 505 Games, and XD believe that taking the time to ensure quality is more meaningful than rushing the update before it is ready. Therefore, after discussions with our partner team, it has been jointly determined that the release timing for the Chinese region will differ from that of other versions.

我们原本希望 1.4.5 版本能够在所有平台、所有地区同步上线，目前 PC、主机和大部分地区的移动端已经顺利完成更新；但由于一些客观原因，中国移动端版本需要延后一段时间发布更新。
这是由多方面因素共同导致的。首先中国移动版基于官方服务器提供在线功能，因此在收到完整的1.4.5版本内容代码后，需要进行额外的服务器迁移工作，随后对新内容进行正式审核。
其次考虑到 1.4.5 版本的完成与发布时间临近中国春节假期，且在完成移植和本地化审核之后，我们仍希望预留一个必要的内部测试阶段——这对于保证游戏体验的完善至关重要。
综上Re-Logic、505 Games 与XD三方一致认为，投入时间确保版本质量，远比仓促推出未完善的更新更有意义。经与合作团队共同商讨，我们决定中国区版本的发布时间将与其他地区版本有所差异。

These things can happen when you have so many moving parts. We are working with XD to try and improve the process in the future so that things are truly aligned from now on. That said, expect China Mobile to update to 1.4.5 just as soon as possible!

在涉及多方协作的复杂项目中，此类情况时有发生。我们正与XD团队共同优化后续流程，力争实现未来版本的真正同步。期待中国移动版能在准备工作完成后尽早更新至V1.4.5！

So, 'Bigger & Boulder!', why 'Bigger & Boulder' you ask? Beyond a good bit of additional content, a lot of effort with this update went into rounding out and expanding on existing experiences. Things like making inventory management and crafting easier than ever. We expanded upon secret world seeds - something that we feel greatly expands the replayability/freshness of the game - while also making them more accessible than ever before. We also had a focus on improving things like atmosphere on top of our continual polish/quality of life/balance efforts - which is getting harder and harder as Terraria gets bigger!

Oh, and you might encounter some new boulders... or existing boulders in new ways. Don't say we didn't warn you!

As always, we never share everything that is in each update - not even in the "full" changelog. Part of the fun is in the discovery! Good luck and happy adventuring, Terrarians!


Once we get through the 1.4.5 launch (and all of the fixes and whatnot), we will be checking back in with everyone to share some details on future plans - but we will leave that as a mystery for now!

The team will be out and about today, hanging out, collecting bugs and feedback, etc. Be sure to catch us at any of the locations below!

Uncovering new materials and using them to craft ever more powerful gear or just simply cool items has always been central to the Terraria experience. With what is now over 6000 items in the game, it goes without saying that taking a hard look at managing such an expansive crafting experience was needed. Something that makes the potentially-overwhelming feel managable, while also feeling consistent and keeping some familiar functionality. With that in mind, we have introduced a new crafting interface that should feel a lot like how "Research and Duplication" works in Journey Mode. Both the Guide crafting recipe interface as well as crafting station interfaces are now organized by tabular functions (e.g. Weapons, Furniture, etc.) as well as being fully searchable so that you can quickly find what you need to craft any particular item.

This new crafting interface replaces the old "grid" view - for those that prefer the old ways, the list view for crafting is still available by clicking the crafting icon again, as it has been in the past. We really think the new interface accomplishes our goals set out above, and we cannot wait to hear what you think!

Oh, and while we were at it, we made some improvements to the way that crafting from chests works - you can now automatically use materials from nearby chests to craft items. No need to put them in your inventory first - or even open any chests first! With some proper base building, this should put all of your materials at your fingertips automatically. If that gets overwhelming, just toggle it off in the crafting menu. Coupled with the powerful new crafting interface, crafting in Terraria has never been better!


Much like sandworms, most people don't really care to spend tons of time fiddling with their inventory when they would rather be getting back to the Digging, Fighting, and Building. Streamlining Inventory Management is a constant focus area for our team with each Terraria update. With 1.4.5, you are getting a couple of tweaks to help keep the clutter down and allow you to spend more time on the good stuff...

The new Banner Menu allows players to claim and use their banners at their convenience. No more having to tote them around or stuff them in a chest somewhere. You will still need to earn them however...

All identical items are now fully stackable! Yes, that includes items with the same prefix/suffix combos!


In the past, when a player is slain while on a multiplayer server, they would have to sit there and watch the respawn countdown. While that is certainly riveting, we find the new Spectate feature to be vastly superior. This allows any players waiting on a respawn to toggle between the other players on the server - see what they see! How is that big boss fight going? Are they stealing your coins that you dropped when you died? Now you will know!


Villagers no longer require a valid room/home in order to spawn in your world. This should make them more accessible to players and take some of the pressure off of making "Terrarian's First Cubicle Tower" on each playthrough. Villagers without a home/room will retreat to safety, and thus will be unavailable to players during the nighttime hours.

The Housing Query feature has had a makeover as well, and now provides a visual indictation of what is being scanned as well as icons indicating where the necessary valid elements for Villager housing are located. Of course, you will also still get a text notification of what is missing.

This is just a sampling of the Quality of Life improvements we have made in Terraria 1.4.5! Be sure to dive into the full changelog for all of the juicy details!

CHECK OUT THE FULL TERRARIA 1.4.5 CHANGELOG HERE[forums.terraria.org]


We feel like World Seeds are such an untapped gameplay feature for so many players. The special world seeds put a whole new spin on Terraria - each unique in its own right - and substantially enhance the longevity and replayability of the game. However, the past implementation left a lot to be desired. Either people do not know that they exist (unless you follow our news releases carefully, find out via word of mouth or happen across them on the wiki, how would you know the fun world seeds are even there?), the entering of codes is a pain, or you are somewhat limited in what is possible. For Terraria 1.4.5, we wanted to address this in a substantial way...


Accessible by clicking the little seed icon next to World Seed during setup for generating a new world, the new World Seed Menu displays all of the main special seed world types that are available. Simply choose what you want, click apply, and off you go!

But wait, there's more! You can also create custom special seed combinations. Ever wondered what a Remix + Not the Bees! world would be like? Wonder no more!


A world without any ground, where you begin your adventure on a tiny island in the sky. How will you survive and thrive when building quite literally includes building the world itself? This unique world seed introduces entirely new gameplay dynamics and rules - when resources are scarce and you are one mis-step from a plummet to your doom, you will have to learn all new ways to work your way to the end.

What will your palace in the sky look like?


You know how we do - we always have to leave some secrets out there for players to find. All we will say is that some fun effects can be unlocked via specific combinations of special seeds from the World Seed Menu or - as before - secret code words. What sorts of effects or seeds might you unlock? How about becoming a vampire?

Vampires would be wise to avoid the sun at all costs!

Maybe you have wondered what Terraria would be like if you and your friends would start in different positions on the map? Well, wonder no more! The new "royale with cheese" seed will create a different spawn position for every team; simply join the world, choose your team and you will be teleported to your very own starting territory! When we playtested this seed internally, we discovered this creates all sort of interesting dynamics: where do the villagers end up living? Who gets which Pylons? Is it morally acceptable to sneak into another team's base and steal all their stuff? Whether you want to play cooperatively, capture-the-gem, or a good old Hardcore PvP team deathmatch, this seed is sure to shake up your experience!

Perhaps you've one day found yourself in a particularly festive and jingly mood, only to look at your calendar and discover it's the middle of summer? Well, the time of changing your system clock is over: the new "jingle all the way" seed will ensure Christmas season in your world all day, every day! Are you more of a Halloween person? No fear! Well, lots of fear, actually, because the "hocus pocus" seed will permanently spookify your world, no matter the time of year!

Another seed that is splashing down in this update might make you want to bring a towel or an umbrella, because the forecast is rain. Lots and lots of rain. Don't bother waiting until the rain lets up to go outside, because it's not going to. But hey, at least the fish seem to like it! Or have you ever looked at your world and thought to yourself "Hm, what this needs is more holes!"? Well, for those of you wishing to explore a world of jagged peaks and craggy rocks, we added another seed to do just that!

If all this sounds rather tame to you, not to worry! We have a couple that are quite a bit more impactful. For example, if you ever thought that the Dungeon is too small, there are too few of them, and you don't spend a lot of time there, then good news! We have a seed that solves all three of those problems! Can you find the secret phrase that unlocks it?

Like the special seeds, these secret seeds can be combined, and specific combinations have special interactions! Let us know what you discover!

Of course, World Seeds are just one aspect of Terraria 1.4.5 - be sure to check out the full changelog linked below for all of the details!

CHECK OUT THE FULL TERRARIA 1.4.5 CHANGELOG HERE[forums.terraria.org]

Terraria 1.4.5 brings over 650 new items into the world of Terraria, bringing the total item count to over 6,000! Of course, there is more to content than just items, but we find it is always a good number to give a sense of scope...


Let's go back to where Terraria 1.4.5 began: Terraria x Dead Cells. Our friends at Motion Twin released their side of the crossover some time ago as a part of their Everyone is Here, Vol II Update. If you haven't checked out Dead Cells at this point, we would greatly encourage you to do so - it is truly a fantastic game.

At long last, the Terraria side of the Dead Cells crossover is available for Terrarians to enjoy. From vanity to furniture to weaponry taken from Dead Cells and re-imagined Terraria-style, we hope that fans of both games will find this new content to be authentic and fun to play with. What sorts of Dead Cells content might you find?

Display your treasures in all new ways! (Beheaded Vanity optional)

Deploy Dead Cells weapons to vanquish your foes!

Of course, this is just a teaser. We will leave it to you to dive into all of the Dead Cells content!


Our good friends at Pocketpair did a masterful job of bringing Terraria into Palworld just a few months ago during the Tides of Terraria Update. If you have not witnessed the glory of Meowmere or the epic Moon Lord boss fight in Palworld yet, what are you waiting for? Check out the update - as well as Palworld itself - over on the Palworld Steam Page!

The official animated trailer for Palworld x TerrariaFor the Terraria side of the Palworld crossover, we focused in on some of the most popular Pals and tried to imagine what they might be like in the world of Terraria. Not only in regards to appearance, but we also tried to give each of them some fun - and in many cases, unique - functionality in game. These Pals are no mere pets, they are here to share your adventure alongside you!

Digtoise is here to help you delve ever deeper into the world of Terraria!

The team wanted to really up the ante in regards to enhancing the atmosphere of Terraria. New backgrounds, new environmental effects (both visual and beyond) and more... all a part of trying to bring the world of Terraria to life in new and exciting ways. Oh, and we went ahead and updated a bunch of sprites as well...

In June 2024, we revealed that Terraria 1.4.5 would proudly include a vanity set in honor of Frank - a huge Terraria fan that was going through a critical illness and whose one wish was to have his very own vanity set in Terraria. The good folks at Make-A-Wish® New Jersey reached out to our team and the rest is history. Named after his player character, Heroicis, we are beyond excited to finally be able to bring this vanity set to everyone!

To help set the mood, we also put together a film noir shader that fits the style of the Heroicis set!

As a part of the launch day festivities, Frank asked if he could say a few words in the launch post... and so without further ado, we turn the floor over to Frank!

"Hey everyone, I just wanted to add my own input to this post because of the emotional weight it carries for me. Yes I had leukemia, that doesn't define me. Yes I have permanent neurological issues, that doesn't define me. I'm looking forward instead of living in the past. I say this not to draw attention to my struggles, but to demonstrate that whatever you're going through doesn't have to define you. You're stronger than you'll ever know. It took having cancer for me to realize that, but it doesn't have to be that dramatic. Enough yapping though, it's time for thank you's. Thank you to my parents who shepherded me through this. Thank you to the Make A Wish staff who made this all possible. Thank you all Terrarians who showed my vanity set so much love. Thank you to my friends who were always there to play video games with me when I needed a distraction. Last, but not least, thank you to the dev team who worked so close with me to bring my creative vision to life (shout out to Loki and Jaxrud). That just about does it for me. My set has a special obtainment method so happy hunting and I truly hope you enjoy the update!"

Of course, this is just a sampling of what we have added in Terraria 1.4.5 - be sure to check out the full changelog linked below for all of the details!

CHECK OUT THE FULL TERRARIA 1.4.5 CHANGELOG HERE[forums.terraria.org]


With the launch of Terraria 1.4.5, we have added support for the following languages:
Japanese
Korean
Traditional Chinese

In addition, after a thorough review of the existing localizations by dedicated members of the Terraria community - and then a further professional review of those suggested edits by our professional localization company - we are rolling out what we hope will be improved translations across a number of the languages that we supported prior to Terraria 1.4.5. We doubt it will be perfect, but we do hope it yields a better experience for everyone.

NOTE: Some of the Community Review changes will be coming in 1.4.5.1, as we had a few items that we realized needed a second pass after we had already locked the build for First Party submissions.


Do you hear boss music? Why yes indeed you do! Terraria 1.4.5 brings 8 new boss tracks to the game, meaning that each Terraria boss now has their own tunes! We also had a couple of tunes that didn't make the boss-tier cut, but we loved so much that we could not just let them go. You can find these via music boxes.

We will be adding these to the Official Soundtrack on Steam and elsewhere as quickly as each system allows. The Soundtrack update will include every track introduced since Journey's End - a total of 14 new Terraria tunes for your listening pleasure!

Of course, we have a host of smaller changes - Terraria 1.4.5 has way too many balance/tweaks/fixes to be able to cover them off here - be sure to check out the full changelog linked below for all of the details!

CHECK OUT THE FULL TERRARIA 1.4.5 CHANGELOG HERE[forums.terraria.org]

Well, that's our very high level look at Bigger and Boulder. Of course, the changelog has a lot more to share - as does playing the update itself. A big note of thanks to everyone for sticking with us throughout the far longer than expected development process for Terraria 1.4.5. This update faced a lot of unexpected challenges, but we are proud to see it finally go live.

Fun and exciting times lie ahead as well - we cannot wait to see what the future of Terraria holds alongside each of you!​

Greetings, Terrarians!

As we mentioned in last month's State of the Game, things were looking up for a January 2026 release. We did have to resubmit a few things, which pushed us back a bit further than expected. However, and to keep this short and sweet, we are happy to share that...



We have a few more things to get done between now and then (a couple of approvals still pending as well), but start the countdown because Terraria 1.4.5 will be in your hands in 13 short days!

See you then!​

Greetings Terrarians! Here we are once again at the end of another year. One filled with ups and downs, highs and lows, but through it all we remain so thankful for all of you Terrarians - and even more excited for what lies ahead. We will get into the short term details of that below, but we will leave you wondering and speculating about what is in store for 2026 and beyond. After we get through 1.4.5, we will dive into that with everyone. For now, expect a very abbreviated State of the Game this month. Given the timing of the last Thursday of December this year, pretty much all of our partners (and, indeed our team) has stepped away for the holidays. However, we didn't want to leave you without at least a brief update on a few things. [/p]

So, with that said, let's get to checking out what lies beneath the Terraria Tree this year!

Let's lead off with the main news of the month - while December wound up being impossible - we can share that the first console submissions are indeed in and being reviewed by first parties. In addition, our global partners in Korea/Japan/China have been given the release submission builds so that they can work on any tweaks and additions needed on their end. Taken all together, these are precisely what we needed to accomplish to ensure that January is looking good for the launch of Terraria 1.4.5.

We do not know exactly when in January that Terraria 1.4.5 will release just yet. Once the results of the first submission are in, we will have a MUCH better sense of timing. As soon as we know, you will know.


Why didn't December happen? To give you a short summary, it just was not possible to get every platform and global partner together in time to rush out a December release that would arrive early enough in the month that we would be able to ensure all hands on deck for any hotfixes and the like. Submissions take time - and even if we had gotten lucky and everything went perfectly the first time (highly unlikely), that would have meant a launch right into the Christmas week, and we just do not feel right asking all of our teams to forego time with family and friends and skipping the Holidays. We have also always been VERY anti-crunch as a company, so we were never going to ask people to work insane hours and weekends to try and shave a few days. We all wanted 1.4.5 out in 2025, trust us, but at some point, we just have to say discretion is the better part of valor. That said, we did get our submissions in, so hopefully we get a clean review (or more likely just need some small changes and a second submission) to start the new year and we are off and running.

We wanted to close by sharing a few holiday-themed builds from our beta testers and to wish each of you a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays and we cannot wait to kick off 2026 in style with the release of Terraria 1.4.5 and then to hop right into what else we have planned. Thank you all for another amazing year - we could not and would not be able to do all of this without you. Cheers, Terrarians!

Hello everyone!
On January 1st the monthly update release of tModLoader for 1.4.4 will go live.

As always we are grateful for the massive amount of community participation in developing and testing new features each month.

This month's release contains various bug fixes and smaller features. We've fixed several issues related to ModAchievements and fixed some UI inconsistencies and errors.

For modders, this month's release includes improvements to the modding experience such as better CodeAssist and a few small additions such as control over if a summon can be 'replaced'. As usual, we'd like to encourage modders to test out new tModLoader features on the preview branch if they are relevant to your mod. Major features in preview are listed on our Discord.

Modders and users should also keep an eye out for our monthly Steam announcement on the 1st where a complete listing of bug fixes and API changes for this month's release will be listed. The in-game news button on the main menu will direct you directly to the announcement once it is live.

We look forward to seeing how mods make use of these new features. As always, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our FAQ on github[github.com] or reach out to us at our Discord[discord.com].

Greetings Terrarians!

At long last, our good friends at Hystar have recently released a series of super high quality desk mats featuring some of the most iconic scenes and characters from Terraria! These desk mats measure in at 36"x16" (900mmx400mm) and are 5mm thick. This is the perfect addition to any Terraria fan's desktop setup! These will be available both on Hystar's website and on Amazon - though for the present, Hystar is suggesting that fans use Amazon.

Our good friends at Fire and Steel have been making realistic replica Terraria swords for several years now - seriously, if you haven't seen the stainless steel True Nights Edge or Meowmere, you are missing out! However, we are very aware that a stainless steel sword isn't necessarily everyone's cup of tea nor are they necessarily affordable for a lot of folks. Taking those things together, Fire and Steel is proud to reveal the first sturdy foam sword in the lineup - Meowmere! We hope that this will be far more approachable and affordable for Terraria fans that want their hands on this iconic weapon.
Of course, the stainless steel versions recently came back in stock as well - so be sure to check out the entire Terraria collection at Fire and Steel[fireandsteel.ca] today! Pick yours up today by clicking the image above!

Hello Terrarians!
Chris here, lead developer at Paper Fort Games. In this month’s Terraria: The Board Game designer diary, we’ve got some very exciting news – games are on the way!

Grab your pickaxes and let’s dig in!

---

MPC (MANUFACTURER PRODUCTION COPIES) APPROVED AND GAMES ARE BEING PACKED!
We are very, very happy to report that Gameland managed to get updated MPCs to us quicker than anticipated, and after a thorough review at the end of last month, they were fully approved! 🤩

Games are currently being packed and divided into shipments that will travel to fulfilment hubs across the world. As each split is completed, the batches are transported by lorry to the sea port and loaded onto cargo ships destined for each region. The only exception here is games for backers in some parts of Asia where pledges will be transported overground to fulfilment hubs, rather than by sea.

As soon as each ship leaves port, we’ll share the vessel name and tracking information. While the games are in transit, we’ll be finalising fulfilment data and sending everything to our fulfilment partners so they can dispatch copies as efficiently as possible once stock arrives.
---

CARTON CUSTOMIZATION
One perk of pre-packaging everything is the ability to customise the outer cartons. Within the limitations of black ink on brown cardboard, we’ve given each carton a little extra personality!

---
CLASS BUILD EXAMPLES
Recently, a backer asked if we could share examples of different class builds (equipment, armor, consumable and action card combinations that would allow you to lean into a certain playstyle) We thought it was a great idea; you can find some simple examples below!

Mid-Game Late-Game ---

PAX UNPLUGGED RECAP

Last month, Matt and Chris attended PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia, PA – it was a tiring but fantastic trip and a wonderful chance to meet backers and show the game. They managed to fit everything for the booth into their luggage; Terraria just fits into carry-on dimensions with some room leftover for spare socks! Thank you to everyone who stopped by the stand; we never get tired of meeting Terrarians and witnessing people's excitement at seeing the game in person; especially the transparent armor cards, modular bosses and world playmat!

The convention was also a chance to catch up with the Artovision[artovision3d.com] team who make the official Terraria shadowboxes!
---

THANK YOU!
Thank you, as always, for your support, enthusiasm and patience. We're so close and we can’t wait for you to experience Terraria: The Board Game!

Until next time, Terrarians!

-Chris and the Paper Fort Games team

Until next time, Terrarians - we hope you have an amazing month, and we look forward to bringing you the latest and greatest next time!

Greetings Terrarians!

A very Happy Thanksgiving to each and every one of you! Our teams are taking a small break today and tomorrow to spend time with friends and family (and generous helpings of turkey, dressing, and more). Of course, Christmas and the busy shopping season lurks right around the corner as well - so much going on all at once! It goes without saying that we are beyond thankful for the support you all show us each and every day. Even on the most difficult of days, it is that support that makes it all worthwhile. You make all of this possible, and we never forget that. We also know it has been overlong with the Terraria 1.4.5 dev cycle, but we are getting closer and closer each and every day. Thank you for your patience there.

Let's settle in and see what this month's State of the Game feast has in store...

Greetings, Terrarians! Another month has flown by and the team has made some great strides towards the completion of Terraria 1.4.5. Localization work (at least in regards to the PC side of things) has pretty much been completed at this point - outside of a few stragglers that we may just take care of within a post-release hotfix. Outside of that, the team has been hard at work testing and fixing bugs as well as coordinating with all of our various global partners to try and get everyone as far advanced as possible in parallel. We have not yet reached the point of making first party submissions, but we should hopefully be there soon. We will try to let everyone know once those submissions are in, at which point things will be mostly out of our control. We do have guesstimates about how long that will take based on past rounds, but we have seen it go way faster and way slower before so you never know.

We will try our very best to continue to narrow that window down as we know more. We should know a LOT more once we get the first round of submissions out of the way. The reality is that first party staff go home for the holidays eventually - at which point we are stuck waiting on them to return. We are racing that clock to at least get our first round of submissions in and done this year. If we get first-pass approval, December remains possible. If not... then it's probably January. We are trying to be as transparent with the process as we can here - we know it has been a long time coming, so we owe you that much.

Now, we wouldn't want to leave you empty-handed spoiler-wise either, so we have what we think is a really cool one for this month - a revamped crafting UI! This new take on the crafting interface blends what has worked so well in regards to research and duplication on Journey Mode and brought it over into the mainstream crafting process. These changes also apply to the Guide recipe interface. This means you will be able to sort through the sometimes-daunting pile of possible crafting recipes for any given material via both categorical tabs and even a text-based search box. This becomes all the more important with the changes to craft from nearby chests that will arrive with Terraria 1.4.5...

Taking all of this together, we hope this helps everyone to be able to more quickly find and craft that one perfect item that they want more quickly! (This is still undergoing some tweaks as we find and fix bugs/issues in the testing process so its final form may differ)

The next generation Terraria Crafting is here!

All that said, we always do step back reflect at this time of year on how thankful we are for everyone in our amazing community - you truly are the engine that makes Terraria go. You are the soul of what makes Terraria what it is and what it will become in the future. We are in awe of your creativity and passion around this video game that our small team works on every day. There is so much darkness in the world today, it is refreshing to know that we can all rally around and enjoy a game of Terraria together. Here's to many more years of that to come. So, thank you - a thousand times thank you - for your support over the years, today, and in the years to come. Cheers!

Hello everyone!

On December 1st the monthly update release of tModLoader will go live. As always we are grateful for the massive amount of community participation in developing and testing new features each month.

This month's release contains various bug fixes and smaller features. We've fixed several regressions related to the liquid rendering fixes from last month and fixed some UI inconsistencies and errors.

For modders, this month's release includes support for custom pressure plates along with new hooks for tile interactions, as well as new hooks for custom armor set shadow effects and transforming the full player rendering. As usual, we'd like to encourage modders to test out new tModLoader features on the preview branch if they are relevant to your mod. Major features in preview are listed on our Discord.

Modders and users should also keep an eye out for our monthly Steam announcement on the 1st where a complete listing of bug fixes and API changes for this month's release will be listed. The in-game news button on the main menu will direct you directly to the announcement once it is live.

We look forward to seeing how mods make use of these new features. As always, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our FAQ on github[github.com] or reach out to us at our Discord[discord.com].

The TML Steam Workshop has over 10,000 mods for you to enjoy! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!
More features, continuing to evolve and grow what TML can do... and getting ready for 1.4.5.

As always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader[github.com] (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[github.com] branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader[github.com])

The DR Studios team remains hard at work both keeping pace with the PC team on any new additions as well as chipping in where possible on cross-platform bug fixes - all in order to get Terraria 1.4.5 out to you as soon as physically possible. In the meantime, the submissions team at 505 Games is trying to get all of those planned for and scheduled to maximize our chances of a smooth and speedy approvals process.
We don't necessarily have any fun spoilers for you this time around. We do have a few more fun quality of life tweaks that we are working on for our bespoke control schemes, but those are not quite ready for prime time quite yet (we do expect to have them in the update though!).

With that said, hopefully the next time we speak, the update will be in the midst of (or have completed!) first party submissions - this is always a huge and somewhat daunting milestone, so we are excited.

Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

Hello Terrarians!

Chris here, lead developer at Paper Fort Games. In this month’s Terraria: The Board Game designer diary, we’ve got information about our latest MPC (Manufacturer Production Copy), the project timeline, foiled boss cards and packaging.

Grab your pickaxes and let’s dig in!

---

MPC (MANUFACTURER PRODUCTION COPY) + TIMELINE
This part of the process is always exciting and terrifying in equal measure. We received MPCs (Manufacturer Production Copies) from Gameland earlier this month, and while the vast majority of the components were spot-on, we identified a few areas that need to be addressed and ultimately, we weren’t able to approve the MPCs.

Everything we flagged is being addressed, but this will take time and as a result shipping and fulfilment will unfortunately need to be pushed back. This is disappointing, but we will always choose quality over speed; we're committed to creating the best product possible and we’re not going to settle for sending you anything other than that. Gameland estimated that rectifying these issues and getting another MPC to us would take 3-4 weeks. With the holidays looming and congested shipping routes at this time of year, at this stage it’s hard to say exactly when games will arrive in each region. There’s a chance that some backers in Asia might receive their copies this year (as these will be shipped ‘overland’, rather than via sea freight) but it’s looking likely that most backers will receive their pledges in early 2026. Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll have a better idea of timescale and we’ll continue to keep you as up to date as we possibly can; in the meantime we really, really appreciate your patience.

---

IT'S NOT ALL DOOM AND GLOOM!
When you’re looking for problems, it’s really easy to overlook all of the things that are wonderful, so here’s a rundown of what excited us about the MPCs!

PUNCHBOARD DELAMINATION IS FIXED
In the last update, we discussed the punchboard issues we had come across in the copy provided to us at Essen. We're very happy to report that there was no evidence of peeling in the copies that we received yesterday, so we won’t be needing to reprint 150,000 punchboards. Thank goodness!

FOILED BOSS CARDS
We’re absolutely thrilled with how the foiled boss cards turned out. Opening the boss card deck feels like opening the best trading card pack ever; every card is a shiny! They have a very nostalgic ‘Team Rocket Pokémon card’ vibe, and they look fantastic stored inside the Boss Boxes.
​

PACKAGING
This one’s a bit nerdy, but super important for making sure that your games get to you in pristine condition. The packaging of the games is excellent; we’ve upgraded the protection even further with a higher density foam in place of corner protectors, and Gameland’s drop tests show that the packages are able to stand up to some serious punishment, as you can see in the video below!

A packaged Hellstone pledge (banana for scale)

Hellstone pledge packaging render. Top to bottom: High-density foam, promo booster packs, game box, high-density foam, Hellstone extras box, additional high-density foam, carton.

THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for your support and for bearing with us while we navigate these final hurdles; we can’t wait for you to experience Terraria: The Board Game!

Until next time, Terrarians!
