Top 10 Reasons Why Terraria is Better Than Minecraft

I can honestly agree with that. Whenever I log onto Mineplex, I select this option that lets you go to other people's servers. But guess what every single server is? That's right. Immature fans. I go on the list of servers and the names are as follows: "Boys only," "Girls only," "Boys only," "Girls only." Seriously, Minecraft fans, why? Terraria fans actually care about you and other people. Once I was a real newbie at Terraria, and this one guy on the server helped me out!

Terraria indeed is so much more welcoming considering the community. I see it in the forums too. Minecrafters are always offending each other. Terrarians don't even need to defend themselves because other people nearly always politely discuss the matter if someone is offensive.

Minecraft and Terraria are both excellent games, but Terraria surpasses Minecraft in many aspects. Minecraft has few tiers and a low ore count, while Terraria boasts a variety of tiers, items, enemies, bosses, and classes. If you prefer Minecraft, I respect that choice. However, if you have never played Terraria, I encourage you to try it. Who knows, you might rise to the challenge and become a legend, perhaps even freeing Terraria from Cthulhu's grasp.

What does Minecraft have for a boss? A damage-spitting dragon and a black thing that shoots. What does Terraria have for a boss? A giant slime (actually two of them), a great eyeball, a segmented worm, a brain, a giant bee, a skeleton, a laser wall, a bunch of mechanical stuff, a giant moving plant, a queen of the hallows, a weird red thingy with giant fists, a half-wizard half-person, a flying fish, and Cthulhu himself. Which one sounds better? (To be honest, I don't know myself)

Music in Minecraft is trash. There is only one tune (it gets annoying after a while). In Terraria, there are different biome music and boss music.

P.S. The music in Terraria is so much better!

Minecraft Update: Oh, look, I waited a year and a half for one new boring mob, a new sword, and eight new items. How boring.

Terraria Update: Finally! The update I waited two years for is here! It adds two new bosses, seven new mini-bosses, 1,000 new items, an entire new class, new weapons, and armor!

Minecraft: finally improved the Nether, even though it took years of begging.

Terraria: Here are 1,000 new items for free.

Terraria has more enemies, weapons, armor, accessories, bosses, and ores. Terraria is just way better.

To me, the combat update in Minecraft was a massive disappointment. Minecraft had only six weapons, and the update didn't introduce any new ones, despite the community's desire for crossbows, muskets, and clubs. The only notable additions were different arrows and dual wielding. Yes, quality over quantity matters, but Terraria still outperforms Minecraft in this category. Do yourself a favor and check the Terraria wiki to see how many weapons were added in the glorious 1.3 update.

I always hated that in Minecraft, you have to go through a lot of pain and search for "how to change your skin in Minecraft". In Terraria, you just create a character without any confusion.

In Minecraft, you see characters that could be perceived as inappropriate. In Terraria, you see characters with wings, armor, and they look formidable. Minecraft characters sometimes appear less serious.

It is true that all of Terraria's bosses were created before Minecraft exited beta. It's possible that Minecraft took inspiration, but inspiration is about seeing something amazing and attempting something similar. However, programming a 2D world like Terraria's is simpler than a 3D world like Minecraft's. In a 2D world, you don't need to design block sides or specific physics. You can focus on pixel art.

Minecraft and Terraria both involve programming AI, health, animations, and drops for mobs and bosses. Whether you believe Minecraft copied Terraria or think both games borrowed elements is up to you.

Minecraft without mods for ore equals barely any, while Terraria without mods equals a ton. Kill the Wall of Flesh, and you get 4+ more ores! Minecraft has poor armor while Terraria has more than 10 sets of armor.

Terraria has significantly more ores and armor types. Minecraft has only iron, gold, and diamond. On the other hand, Terraria starts you off with options like the Copper Short Sword and Wood Armor, scaling up to items like The Legendary Terra Blade and Turtle Armor. By the way, I am struggling with the Twins. Whenever one transforms, they keep ramming into me. I have to use the magic mirror to return to base for the nurse, but they killed her. She respawned. Any tips?

Terraria's gemspark blocks can lead to epic creations. Say the Dryad is going to move in, but you want a unique house for her. Simple! Go mining a little bit and look for emeralds, go to the desert for sand, turn the sand into glass at your furnace, and boom! Green blocks! For Minecraft, you have to go to the very rare mesa biome and get stained terracotta blocks. See what I mean?

Exactly, we all care about that little detail.

Some people might say, "3D is way better!" However, you can get motion sickness from playing Minecraft in a vehicle much more easily. Terraria takes you back to a time when its graphics were the best you could get. In my opinion, they still are.

It's not 100% square, but still good enough so it looks like a block. Minecraft doesn't even support grass on the sides.

Minecraft? You just have blocks: block fence, block stone, even block people.

I read all these reasons and I heavily agree. The main reason Terraria is better than Minecraft is that Terraria is small, but it's full of things to do. Minecraft is big, but it's literally empty! It has no meaning, no story, no music (just a boring piano melody), no complex stuff in general. The people who work at Mojang are so slow - a 15-year-old boy can create wonderful mods and a whole team can't! Terraria is better. I'm sorry if I made grammatical errors. Bye.

This is true because every time I play Minecraft, I have to get a friend online to play with me. Otherwise, I'll play Terraria and actually have a bunch of stuff to do.

I used to like Minecraft more than Terraria, but now the tables have turned. Compare the two Minecraft bosses to the seven pre-Hardmode Terraria bosses. Ender Dragon (200 health) VS King Slime (2000 health).

In Minecraft, there are about 10 mobs. In Terraria, there are about 1000 mobs! Can you see the difference?

There are so many monsters in Terraria. It's way better than Minecraft.

You have vanity sets which give you a chance to express yourself or just look plain cool. Heck, you can even put armor on the vanity set area. I like the creeper suit and the sun mask as my favorites.

There is no better feeling than defeating the Moon Lord while wearing a fish costume.

You can collect costumes in Terraria. In Minecraft, only dyed leather armor.

Robots are cool. "Giant" is the adjective of "awesome." Santa is fat. Let's say it together... "Let's fight a cool, awesome fatty!"

With epic music in the background, while he shoots with a chain gun at you.

Okay, nothing needs to be said. You get to fight the big man himself.

Thank you for opening my mind with that evidence. I am writing an argumentative piece on whether Minecraft or Terraria is the better video game. I have been trying for years to convince my friends that Terraria is superior, but they always counter with Minecraft's creative and survival modes.

I argued that Terraria offers so much to do, but they claimed the same for Minecraft. I have yet to find better evidence than this, and I doubt I ever will. I am very glad you were willing to share why you believe Terraria is better.

For instance, I have been playing Terraria for over five years now and still cannot defeat "Duke Fisheron," the second hardest boss in the game. Meanwhile, I have played Minecraft for five months and already have full diamond armor and tools in all 12 of my survival worlds.

I hope this comment helps you decide which game is better. Go team Terraria!

Minecraft mods are often just single item mods or rip-offs of other games, complete with silly names and likely infringing copyrights. Terraria mods, on the other hand, are incredible. They typically add at least three new bosses and 100 mobs, introduce about 200 items, and extend gameplay by 50 extra hours. Plus, they have cool names.

For those who think Minecraft has a better mod community: Minecraft's mod community is larger, but few mods add quality and useful changes to the game. In contrast, Terraria mods add twice as much content as originally intended.

There may be no lag, but I can't count how many times my friend and I couldn't join another friend's world or just lost connection and left.

Terraria is still miles better.

More like no lag. I love Minecraft, but it lags.

Nostalgic music definitely hits differently. It's like, you can still remember the visuals years later while forgetting the soundtrack, so just hearing the music again feels like revisiting childhood.

Minecraft always has that annoying tune. Terraria? Nah, fam.

In Minecraft, when you switch to another world or server, you have to redo all your hard work. Unlike Minecraft, Terraria lets you save all your weapons, items, and gear and take them to another world or server. You can continue your adventure in Terraria without having to redo everything, such as defeating a difficult boss.

And you can trade with your friends. For example, imagine you wanted to trade 50 truffle worms for the possessed hatchet. You can go with your saved items and give your friend the hatchet. Easy! In Minecraft, you can't even trade much, and you can't get your stuff in other worlds. If world hopping in Terraria didn't exist, I would've never gotten the scourge of the corrupter and vampire knives. - astroshark

Terraria has a significantly better community. I believe Terraria will maintain its positive community since it's superior to Minecraft from the start. The PEGI 12 rating attracts more mature players, and even the oblivious seven-year-olds are entertaining to us. We don't want to be like them.

Minecraft community: 90% kids, 9% teens, and 1% adults. Terraria community: 15% kids, 60% teens, and 25% adults.

So, so true! Couldn't have said it better!

Try and get the Rod of Discord before saying you got everything. Did I mention the extra 150+ items? Also, did I mention Minecraft has only 10-50 items?

You can give it to the goblin at a price, and you can get better or worse prefixes, which help you in battle. The Terra Blade can shoot glowing swords at your mouse pointer. The Paladin's Hammer is like a boomerang. The Lord's Holy Hand Grenade is the best explosive device in Terraria and the stuff in the locked chests in the dungeon.

Terraria has more items.

1. You have over 2000 items and blocks.
2. You have more damaging weapons than just wooden swords and golden pickaxes!
3. Looking for a challenge? Try getting the Slime Staff!
4. The last item you get is the Celestial Sigil, while the first one is a dirt block.
5. Starting with the dirt block and ending with the Celestial Sigil as the 3001st item - that's a lot of items!

Yeah, I know, lots of people say, "Minecraft has cool mods!" But let's be real here. The only reason Minecraft has these "cool" mods is because the game is so limited! "Oh, but there are cool-looking castles and mine carts." Come on people, let's be real. Minecraft is now becoming a corrupted compilation of everything the fans want, instead of an actual game. Terraria has never (and hopefully will never) have this problem.

After a while, Minecraft gets boring for people more into their teens. Minecraft is overall a boring game for those who aren't under 8 years old and are more creative thinkers. Creative thinkers tend to have a lot more expectations for popular games and so therefore get disappointed and easily bored by the limited content of the game called Minecraft.

How is Minecraft challenging when you can simply walk over to your bed and skip the entire night? In Terraria, it only sets your spawn point, which actually forces you to go out and do something, rather than being lazy.

In Minecraft, you can just skip nights and avoid all problems. But in Terraria, you can't avoid all monsters. You have to work for your rewards.

Did you know that the Medusa mob in Terraria has more health than the Wither?

You can see an enemy that is behind you.
