Revisional Differences

view on tcrf.net

This is a sub-page of Terraria.

To do:

  • Add beta and latest version graphic comparisons, please!
  • Info on the 3DS version of the game and its inclusions/exclusions to PC. Also Check if 3DS has the removed content (such as Dye Trader NPC or Paints) in tact somewhere in the files.
  • tModLoader unused stuff as well as exclusive items (mainly vanity) could go here.
  • Console Mobile features such as unique icons for info accessory toggles.
  • Japanese release Differences.
    • By the way, the fonts used in older Japanese releases are completely different from those used in current Japanese releases.
    • Specifically, it's very similar to the font used in Danganronpa's Nonstop Debate.

The console and mobile versions add more items and enemies, and the beta version has different sprites.

NOTE: Post-1.0 desktop versions will not be covered here due to the massive amount of changes and additions typically present in each update. Please refer to the official changelogs for more information.
