I was playing terraria pirated. The only reason I bought it later was because of its developers. Why would I buy a game if I can just pirate it? Well my answer to that is only to support the game developers.
In Terraria you can create a server for free just by pressing a single button after you purchased the game and play with your friends around the world, In Minecraft you have to run a special client and have white IP address + degree in CS to set everything up or you have to pay for realms subscription monthly in addition to what you paid for the game itself...
I think the real reason Terraria is better is that it has developers so passionate about it that they are still adding updates years after making the "last update" in 2020. In the meantime, Minecraft is owned by a company that barely touches it, and when they do they do shitty mob votes to try to stir up the community instead of just adding all of the ideas. Instead, they focus on making new side games or in-app purchases for Bedrock because it is owned by a corporation that craves more money.
Not to mention the modding communties; Minecraft's is all but dead except for tech mods, but Terraria has dozens of complete overhaul mods that are mutually compatible and extend the experience indefinitely.
Re-logic Just care more about their game, also when Mojang does something bad the community says that is microsoft's fault, but is it really microsoft's fault?
I agree. Terraria just has so much to discover. I’ve been playing it for years and still find myself discovering something new. I adored Minecraft as a kid but there’s nothing left to really discover. The caves and cliffs update definitely did help with that but, after a good 10 hours I discovered everything again. And sure, things in Minecraft can generate differently but it doesn’t really do anything for me. It’s just like okay cool I guess. One thing I also really enjoy about Terraria over Minecraft is it gives you a reason to build. In Minecraft you can build incredible things but I’m very extrinsically motivated so without my builds having a real use I get bored. In Terraria I can build a Tavern for the Tavernkeep, or a Wizard tower for the wizard. So it’s nice to have an in game reason to build extra stuff. Finally, I just think Terraria’s has mastered progression. You are always running into something new and as soon as you feel you’re OP and got a handle on things you’re hit with a whole new world in Hardmode. The bosses you encounter are amazing, the bestiary lets you keep track of hundreds of enemies and get some interesting lore. I could go on for forever about Terraria I’m not saying Minecraft is bad, and for many people who are more intrinsically motivated I’m not surprised they prefer Minecraft and it makes sense. But for me personally, Terraria is a one of a kind game.
True, that isn't even including the massive modding community! Playing with mods enhances your experience a thousand tiems over and gives SO MUCH MORE TO EXPLORE! There's so many massive mods, and so much content, so much to discover, it's a new experience and it really gives you something new to discover. Although some of the mods are pretty laggy with the insane details and aesthetics.
Honestly, the whole "Hey don't compare games. They are different." sounds more like a mere excuse to not see Minecraft compared with a far better product...
@@simenkolas9373 Man, I can see this is not the only comment you made typing "SPooNs ArE bEttEr" trying so hard to get your "gotcha" moment. Just say you don't like reading negative comments about your favorite game lmfao.
Well both of them are completely different games Minecraft is more about building and terraria is more about combat. This is why people say to not compare this games.
I like the fact that there's such a consequence for not being prepared for the night in your first night in Terraria. I was used to Minecraft where night isn't that dangerous and I didn't know how to build in Terraria and I got killed over and over again by zombies and demon eyes for the whole night. Ever since then on every new world I make a house as quickly as possible.
Thats too obvious, just look at the furniture, in terraria you have endgame cosmic toilets made on a ancient manipulator, and in Minecraft you just have some slabs lol
My argument for this is how fun they are, for me I can’t play Minecraft for too long without just being bored, meanwhile I can go on a 3 hour terraria session and have to force myself to stop
@@Skellzee you only buy minecraft once. im pretty sure everysingle minecraft update has been free lol. heck, if you bought the game in early access, youd get every single minecraft feature FOR FREE.
I find it hilarious that Terraria has a pretty small development team but Mojang has over 800 employees and yet they only add like 4 things per yearly update.
@@simenkolas9373 tf you mean FPS game? FPS games are called First Person Shooter for a reason, not a good example is Minecraft nor Terraria. Minecraft maybe a sandbox game, but after you defeated the ender dragon theres really nothing to do except build.. With no real use. In Terraria there are alot more Weapons, Armor, Routes to progress, and especially bosses. Terraria is also a building game bruv, not just boss fighting genre. Stop babbling in the comments and coping about your favorite game. Both are good.
@@RaZer12879 tell me youve never played minecraft, without telling me youve never played minecraft. beating enderdragon is usually like the first thing someone does in a world mate.
Does anyone else like how all the tools in terraria look different like when you go from a copper pickax to a platinum pickax they look different. You get a sense of visual progression in Minecraft to get a color change that’s it.
I mean yea, some people on comments seem to be like not respecting the guys opinion on video, i respect who likes minecraft more or terraria, well i love terraria tho
Ok 100% honest the games don’t compare terraria and Minecraft where made for completely different types of gamers they both have there own differences but they are completely different games only Similarity I can think of is the blocks Minecraft I feel more creative terraria I feel much more of a challenge
Both games are sandboxes,both games have crafting,mining,pve and pvp system,both games have content of items based on certain content,both games have bosses of each biome biome,both games have contruction system,so its obvious that we can compare both games.
Terraria actually has decoration figured out with painting and lots of neat furniture while Minecraft is still adding wood retextures. Where are our vertical slabs Mojang???
It’s like comparing grapefruit to tangerines in my opinion, they can look similar but they’re actually quite different on the inside. Terraria’s community however, is far superior to Minecraft’s.
I disagree with the community part, I feel that minecraft mods let the game be whatever you want while terraria's tends to improve the game but not fundamentally change it. Terraria has way more vanilla content, but minecraft's mods are an endless ocean. Terraria's mods are better for bosses but not much else.
@@resentfuldragon True true. But what I meant by the community was mostly the people. Maybe I just haven’t seen that side of the community yet but there isn’t a new grooming doc hitting the terraria community every month.
@@Algorithm_God_Cult I mean, no, but I guess I'm not exactly correct. At least terraria gave the copper shortsword a use, even if shortlived (also zenith)
@@axilia203 cause the atmosphere my brother. Damn pixel art is cute, a lot of blocks to build and stuff, critters and shit, and if you hate the combat you can play just in Journey mode, set difficulty to Classic and just enjoying chill time. Ofc you would need to defeat bosses to progress, but it would be easy anyway (and fun too). While minecraft is too damn ugly with it's blocks. No art in it, just random piles of blocks with 1 or 2 good tracks and that's all LOL.
@@ravioli-ravioli Calling pixel art cute then shitting on Minecraft artists is kinda contradictory imo I find Minecraft's visual style extremely charming
Terraria builders do some amazing stuff, I'd go as far as to say when it comes to building, if you can get past the 2D limitation, Terraria is a far better experience than Minecraft. From far better inventory management (Hello Mojang? Sort inventory button when?) to being able to paint literally any block in the game with any colour, and having so many more tools within the game ranging from a built in ruler to items that can terraform entire biomes... Plus an extrinsic motivation to build houses for your NPCs, which gives your buildings a purpose and attachment. How awesome would it be if instead of finding villages in Minecraft by walking straight ahead for one or two days until you spot one, you had to build it, cure zombie villagers and having them repopulate your village? It'd introduce a progression element (build a village so you can get trading, instead of raiding them for quick iron and diamonds), it'd allow you to change the world as a result of your own actions (curing the zombified villagers) and it'd create attachment to these villagers, since you had to work to bring them over, and you can't just easily kill them and find another village. Meanwhile the reality is that you just... find them, loot their village and if they get lucky you'll just leave instead of enslaving them for iron golem farms or zombification discount farms. How heroic of you.
i never got how minecraft is better for building even if terraria is 2d you can make builds that look 3d with actuators, paint and a hammer minecraft blocks are much thicker and and don't look as good to me
I would say Terraria being 2D actually helps with it plus the fact that the combination of just the amount of different blocks(with different texturs) and the fact that everything is paintable make Terraria better for building then Minecraft. For me that is.
Building in Terraria is way better, you have better tools to build easier, more block variety, FURNITURE, you can place blocks further, you can place blocks faster, you can destroy stuff faster, you can fly, you can hold more blocks, you can shape blocks with hammer, you can paint blocks different colors, etc. It's only limitation is that Terraria is locked in 2D Compared to that, building in Minecraft feels like a chore and a grind. Just to build a simple house you have to chop like 100 trees lol
I've always been camp terraria since primary school/ secondary school. Minecraft is cool and all but there's so much content in terraria its easy to spend several hundred hours in one world and character and then there's cosmetics and building. Also build options and the soundtrack is banging
Terraria is cool and all but there's so many creative possibilities in Minecraft its easy to spend several undred hours in one world I'm mostly jesting, I just think both games are good, it really just depends if you prefer the sandbox aspect or the adventure aspect, i prefer the former and you the latter I don't think there's a need to really compare both
I play Minecraft way more often but I think terraria is way better, If you want adventure just play terraria if you want building play Minecraft. I wish Minecraft would add the replayability stuff that terraria has, the only thing i don't like about terraria is the corruption spreading system, and underground jungle grinding
Minecraft isn't replayable because you dont "replay" it, you just continue playing You have endless possibilities and that's why people have been playing it for oger ten years and haven't stopped The focus on adventure, bosses and stuff is what makes me not manage to get into terraria
@@axilia203 interesting but doesn't the gameplay of Minecraft get boring after a while, like how you already have enchanted netherite and you don't really start getting new stuff, I start over all the time in Minecraft.
@@benjrobe not really, I don't even care about getting netherite, or tbh, even kill the enderdragon, I don't really have interest in the progression, yet I just don't get bored of playing the game, I can just create the cool things I imagine and that's nice, the satisfaction of building something you're proud of, that you got the resources for yourself, is really nice
Minecraft and terraria are different if you know how to really enjoys both In minecraft it's not about defeating the ender dragon, it's about the trace of your existence on your world, like houses, storage systems, barns and also drained ocean monument, or maybe even transforming the end dimension Terraria is 10x better interms of progressions and adventure wise also dang this game had furniture bro. The sountracks are good, each biome has its own soundtracks And after beating the game, in terraria you just became a literal god, while in minecraft you're still the friendly neighborhood steve. But nah, i'd play both
How to prove Terraria is better than Minecraft: You can have a remarkably Minecraft-like experience in Terraria by simply ignoring most of the game. Focus on exploring and building, fight only pre-hardmode enemies and bosses, never beat the wall of flesh. Boom, 2D Minecraft for the most part. Youre missing out on what, animal breeding? Farming? You cannot however have a Terraria like experience in Minecraft.
Old school Terraria was like that, the game was finished but then the devs decided to drop the biggest update ever with like 2000+ new blocks 500 new items 100 new monsters 5 new bosses lol
I think the main issue which shows up most when looking at how little the unique biomes/mobs provide in minecraft is simply that minecraft isn't trying to be the kind of game terraria is. It isn't even trying to be a survival game either - it's a creative game where you're given a beautiful world filled with small details that on their own are just a little part of a big picture, and you're free to shape that picture in whatever image you desire. And then survival mode was just kinda tacked on for people who want that to come with a bit of challenge, but the challenge ended up being super inconsistent and unfair and lame because the game wasn't designed for it and still isn't.
Terraria is better in terms of -lore and progression -content and its varieties -boss fights -updates Minecraft is better in terms of -being a sandbox game -multiplayer -content creation -having more dimensions (lol) Both are loved. Both have wholesome gaming and modding communities. Both are apex predators from somewhat similar but actually different environments.
@@insert_name8490 Minecraft has well-known public servers to play a large variety of games with other players with their own plugins. Terraria, on the other hand, doesn't have that, and I wish it did.
I agree with most of these, though I feel like Terraria's building and sandboxing is often disregarded when there is actually much more to it. There is a reason to that though. Minecraft's is much simpler and easier to execute when it comes to building, which allows more players to recognize that. Terraria's has a lot of useful tools for this, but would require some extra effort from the player to understand everything. This is intentional design from the developers, and having understood both I am biased to say I prefer Terraria's more.
The games have different playstyles, Terraria is more focused on progress and survival, while Minecraft is more focused on building and exploring. They have certain similarities but at the end of the day they are different games.
Oy oy, both games are equally great, they shine in their own ways, heck even the text on their splash screens tells you to play the other game, basically brothers from different mothers
As someone who enjoys both games, I feel like this entirely misses the point in Minecraft. Terraria is a progression game that excels. Minecraft doesn’t want to be that, it’s a sandbox with some stuff to do IG. The focus is more on building and exploration. It is of course fine to not enjoy Minecraft but I don’t think one is better or worse than the other. More importantly, nether fortresses and warped forests are far from rare.
Another thing is that terraria has more updates, higher quality updates and the community loves every single one. The only update the community didn't like (biome torch luck) was reworked immediately, and they even added a cool little boss for it
I feel like they both just scratch a different itch for me. Minecraft is mindless grinding and surviving in an efficient manner, a calm, comforting experience. Terraria is hellish bossfights and ridiculously fun challenges to overcome, an active and engaging experience. Both are fun.
Can I be honest? Minecraft was a game I watched my cousin play for over a decade. She gave me the controller and tbh, and I'm the type to give new things a try, but I just wasn't feeling it AT all. Then, years later, terraria came out, played it for fifteen minutes and that was it. Now, in 2024 I decided to actually give it a chance and I'm not exaggerating, from fifteen minutes to 315 hours today of playtime, I really am happy I gave terraria another chance. I would like Minecraft more if it had even a slight clue of what you're 'supposed' to do to progress compared to Terraria's NPC's who literally guide you to what you could do next.
I like terraria more, but they are both completely, absolutely different, having the mindset that they are both can be compared is the same as saying Terraria is a ripoff of Minecraft This is the same as comparing the last of us to DOOM
"in both, you can just relax and build" "the fun doesn't just stop the second you beat the (final boss), the fun stops the second you decide it stops. You can build almost anything from..." ( i got lazy) improved quote
The games aren't similar in the SLIGHTEST. Yeah they are both blocky and have health bars. That's about where the differences stop. Minecraft is a 3d Sandbox with survival mechanics. Terraria is a 2d action adventure rpg. (No survival mechanics. A healthbar just doesn't cut it) Both games do have phenomenal building options. I've seen AMAZING artwork in BOTH games, however Minecraft has a HUGE advantage when it comes to redstone and command blocks allowing you to build LITERAL computers. Yes there is wiring and some cool contraptions in Terraria, but you can't make anything NEARLY as complex as some creations in Minecraft. Overall, I enjoy Terraria more. It feels more engaging to me. Minecraft? Eh. It's lost its charm for me. I understand why people like it. Unfortunately, I'm not very creative when it comes to building, and the survival aspects kinda suck for me (for the same reasons in the video).
Terraria has more wiring items, like toggle blocks, player detectors, logic gates. Minecraft doesn't so you need to improvise with pistons and stuff. You can totally build computers on Terraria, but it's harder due to space constraints because the game is 2D
9:30 seems kind of misleading to lead with diamonds It's kind of like saying you need crimtane ax to mine trees Iron and emeralds also work Which can be farmed
I (like most people) like a challenge. Minecraft is piss easy, and when you do die in Minecraft, it’s because you died to a creeper you couldn’t see or got knocked into a pit due to something unavoidable. And it’s not just because Minecraft is 3D. Many other 3D games give you at least a little indication of mobs attacking you or where you’re getting hit. I made a giant storage room for tons of items once, and then a creeper I couldn’t see blew up and like thousands of items were on floor that I had to reorganize, some of which disappeared.
@@add4line906 they usually don’t stay there though. Also villigars only even go into your house if in a close vicinity to them and can be stopped. Terraria npcs on the other hand stay there, you can place a house under water and they’d find a way to get in and there is no way to stop them
I have my opinion on both games Both are good but terraria in vanilla beats minecraft while both modded are superior Huh why you're here? Keep scrolling down I guess Really? Almost there my friend Well you reached the bottom Well I award you a grape juice
terraria is a fighting adventure game with a little bit of building... minecraft is a building game with a little bit of adventures. Stop comparing the games
I also feel like the replay value is a key aspect here, once you beat minecraft there really isnt anything else to do, where as in terraria, you can play around with 4 main classes (and more subclasses) and beat the game like that
I would disagree on the minecraft part. In my survival world, 10% was before ender dragon and 90% after. There's so much building and projects that I can do, and really makes the endgame fun
Very good conclusion at the end. No game is better because they are so different and I play them both on and off depending on the kind of itch im craving. Both games have their flaws and yes Terraria too I guess having 1400 hours makes you see all the small shortcomings. I also think Minecrafts biggest flaw is not having meaningfull progression but im lost to how you could fix the problem while keeping in mind the interests of every type of player for the biggest game ever made
@@xrcbxlg terraria is literallly focused on beating bosses to progress through the game. if you need to defeat bosses to unlock most content, then its not a sandbox
@@Ethan_Cubed Sandbox gaming is a type of video game that allows the player to have a high degree of freedom to explore and interact with the game world in a nonlinear fashion. Even on Wikipedia it's sandbox, so your opinion doesn't matter
@@Ethan_Cubed The main goal of all games it to defeat main bosses in order to finish the game, it doesn't matter od progress but of freedom in that world
Microsoft/moyang ruined Minecraft by not caring about their game and not really caring about their game, terraria succeeds because re-logic loves their game and puts love into their game
15:07 I think it’s important to distinguish graphics from visuals. In terms of graphics, Terraria literally just has flat, pixelated, 2d images. You can’t get much graphically lower than that.. Visually, on the other hand, terraria can be a true sight to behold, with excellent art direction and some truly visually stunning late-game weapons. Although it’s modded, Calamity Infernum Devourer of Gods is an outstanding example of this. While technically being just a bunch of low-res pngs, the care put into those pngs make it one of the most ornate and beautiful bosses I have ever seen in a video game…
terraria fixes some major problems i have with minecraft (teleport to spawn, keep inventory, shops, no duribility). thats why i prefer terraria. minecraft is much better for building tho
Yes terraria has more upfront content but where Minecraft shines is its sandbox, Minecraft has a shitty final boss and progression because that’s not the point. Minecraft far exceeds terraria in sandbox because that’s what is intended. They have similar features but they are two very different games with very different intentions of what they are
"The fun stops the second you decide it stops" bro minecrafts fun stops right after you build a house. Every single one of my playthroughs ended right after that. I had to actually lock in and fight myself to beat the ender dragon
My main point is that mods are easily accessible and free for Terraria, and has one of (if not) the most well-known video game mods. Even after beating the vanilla game, you can come back to a completely new experience. Also in just the vanilla game you can play all 3 difficulties and all 4 classes in multiple runs, which makes the potential Terraria playtime rival the potential Minecraft playtime
Its an opinion guys, neither is better both have their own merits. That being said, terraria is better. On a more serious note: Minecraft to me is more of a building game and a creative outlet, which I think it does a little better than terraria just because its 3d and easier to get into. Also minecraft multiplayer is super fun, and much better for high player counts (although Terraria still has amazing multiplayer). For most players though, Terraria is just way more fun, and its objectively better because of its content and enjoyment (not saying terraria has to be your favorite, its absolutely fine to have an opinion) Minecraft also really doesn't seem like your type of game Also sorry for the unorganised comment, I wrote this in a really weird way
Terraria debatably has more construction and sandbox capabilities. Since wiring goes through blocks, you don't need to make room for it beyond levers and the mechanisms. There's also been incredible and detailed structures made in terraria using things like hammers, dynasty wood, the heavy workbench and sawmill, the hand of creation, etc. It's debatable that Minecraft is better for building, the biggest advantage it has is being 3D.
Honestly I want a video like this talking about the quality of the weird spiritual "love-child" of the two: Starbound While Minecraft and Terraria are largely different to the point of being mostly incomparable, I can still look at their overall quality and think "Man... Terraria's gotten a lot more love sunken into it lately" Minecraft's just been on a downward spiral with recent updates, and I don't say that as someone who was hyped for Caves and Cliffs and butt-hurt over its split, I say that in observation of how n o t h i n g Minecraft's updates have felt since around then I find that the novelty of a modern update in Minecraft quickly wears off for me because it's either something I don't need to interact with other than possibly for multiplayer (Sniffers, decorational armor trims) or I likely have to go out of my way to check it out (Ancient cities, I've explored and disarmed one and then never really tried to do the same for another) Terraria is just a gift that keeps on giving and bringing me back meanwhile: 1.4.4's melee rework is amazing, Empress of Light is flashy and I still have yet to give her a proper try myself but the fact there's an actual incentive to BE A GOD GAMER against her is great, blah blah literal poop as an item blah... And then there's Starbound, a weird combination of Terraria's 2D format + combat, and Minecraft's "infinite world" idea + its exploration all while having a plot of its own... and kinda failing to do any of these things But it's a weird case to me because it feels like Starbound's dev team (that's probably now non-existent due to allegations with the studio of the team not getting due payment) stopped while they were ahead, and it's actually getting to a point of being better than Minecraft just because Starbound's not getting any worse (nor is it getting better but look at Minecraft's array of one-off things nobody gives much of a shit about anymore)
I would say Terraria beats Minecraft at even the sandbox. Building in Minecraft is really slow and boring, and there's nothing you can do to speed it up. Meanwhile Terraria progression actually helps you to build bigger and faster with the tools it gives. Bro paint exists, meanwhile minecraft needs 100 types of wood to even match that 😂😂 Also the construction part feels way more cohesive in Terraria, you have to build houses, build hellevators, build arenas. Meanwhile you can beat Minecraft without building anything, the only things you require to build is farms to cut out on boring grind because the progression doesn't help it out
I think terraria just has more content than minecraft, I mean, let's compare the two games (writing this before I watch the video, don't judge) Minecraft - Craft Tools, find village (optional), go nether, get rods, come back, find stronghold, kill dragon, no more progression at this point, game end Terraria - Craft tools, explore for better items because without them you won't be able to take on the first boss, defeat boss, defeat another boss to get better items, defeat yet another boss to unlock new unique biome and an npc that will grant you new equipment (wire stuff), defeat yet another boss to get a new npc that will unlock some cool items, defeat another boss to unlock much more variety and new items for your world (also make it harder) at this point you have so much stuff to do I will just skip over it because i'd sit here all night, get new gear, defeat new 3 bosses, get yet more gear, defeat another boss, the progression just never ends and it's not like you're gonna do all that at once, there's fishing, side bosses, all of the npcs and "secret npcs" (see mushroom npc), and the uniqueness of items and tools, chainsaws, drills, GUNS, summons, it has so much more variety than minecraft, the only thing it doesn't have is 3rd dimension view
Honestly, the fact Minecraft doesn't really have a progression system is what makes it so great to me, it's the perfect sandbox It's playing Legos with some survival/adventure mechanics on top without them being overbearing All the second part of what you describe makes me feel extremely uninterested in playing terraria xD
That's pretty stupid, Minecraft is more of a sandbox since you can create your own custom furniture if you actually use your brain. Also, the game has a whole extra dimension to work with.
minecraft is a more simple chilled out game whereas terraria is more of a progression game which im guessing you prefer an actual progression system other than something like a sandbox such as minecraft
Every survival game has a diffrent focus. Don't Starve's focus is to just survive. It's the most "survivalish" survival game out there imo. Terraria's focus is combat and acrion. This is why Terraria has so many weapons. Minecraft's focus is building. It's easliy the most creative game out there.
As someone who has 1500-2k hours in MC and 120 hours in terraria, I could certainly NOT agree more. Terraria takes almost 70 hours to complete by going the shortcut way, and to 100% you need like 180 hours i guess, while in minecraft it's like 10 hours to get the best armor and beat ender dragon, and like 30 hours to 100% if you are older than 13
Minecraft is good with friends, and terraria is good by yourself. In terraria you just end up shouting at eachother, while in Minecraft everyone’s pretty chill and cooperative.

I fully agree. Minecraft just seems bland, but terraria is always fun until just after moon lord. But you didn‘t even mention mods, which make terraria have endless possibilities, Minecraft mods though, take forever to get and dont normally add much to the game.
I think Minecraft has way better building and pvp combat(they basically mastered it) and Terraria has incredible progression, boss fights, and exploration. (This is just my personal opinion)
although each game is its own genre and can't really be compared, for me minecraft got a bit boring whereas terraria i still find fun stuff i didn't know about and more.
@@WannabeHeavenResident not really, minecraft has progression and an end, just like terraria. Various biomes and NPCs and crafting and enchantments. Both can be played as a builder sandbox entirely ignoring progression. UI and perspective differ but the core of each is the same.
I’m of the opinion that if you think terraria and Minecraft are similar. You have not played both or at least beat both. Terraria becomes a completely different game from even itself after Hardmode. The similarities are really only surface level. Not really comparable. Both are also going for completely different vibes.
@@basharatrahman6249 Because it isn't as linier as Terreria, and it is much better for building. Both games are different, it's like comparing a platformer to a shooter, you can think one is better than the other, but objectively they are totally different games with different playstyles.

I agree. Terraria just has so much to discover. I’ve been playing it for years and still find myself discovering something new. I adored Minecraft as a kid but there’s nothing left to really discover. The caves and cliffs update definitely did help with that but, after a good 10 hours I discovered everything again. And sure, things in Minecraft can generate differently but it doesn’t really do anything for me. It’s just like okay cool I guess.
One thing I also really enjoy about Terraria over Minecraft is it gives you a reason to build. In Minecraft you can build incredible things but I’m very extrinsically motivated so without my builds having a real use I get bored. In Terraria I can build a Tavern for the Tavernkeep, or a Wizard tower for the wizard. So it’s nice to have an in game reason to build extra stuff.
Finally, I just think Terraria’s has mastered progression. You are always running into something new and as soon as you feel you’re OP and got a handle on things you’re hit with a whole new world in Hardmode. The bosses you encounter are amazing, the bestiary lets you keep track of hundreds of enemies and get some interesting lore. I could go on for forever about Terraria
I’m not saying Minecraft is bad, and for many people who are more intrinsically motivated I’m not surprised they prefer Minecraft and it makes sense. But for me personally, Terraria is a one of a kind game.
True, that isn't even including the massive modding community! Playing with mods enhances your experience a thousand tiems over and gives SO MUCH MORE TO EXPLORE! There's so many massive mods, and so much content, so much to discover, it's a new experience and it really gives you something new to discover. Although some of the mods are pretty laggy with the insane details and aesthetics.

@@ravioli-ravioli Calling pixel art cute then shitting on Minecraft artists is kinda contradictory imo
I find Minecraft's visual style extremely charming
Terraria builders do some amazing stuff, I'd go as far as to say when it comes to building, if you can get past the 2D limitation, Terraria is a far better experience than Minecraft. From far better inventory management (Hello Mojang? Sort inventory button when?) to being able to paint literally any block in the game with any colour, and having so many more tools within the game ranging from a built in ruler to items that can terraform entire biomes... Plus an extrinsic motivation to build houses for your NPCs, which gives your buildings a purpose and attachment.
How awesome would it be if instead of finding villages in Minecraft by walking straight ahead for one or two days until you spot one, you had to build it, cure zombie villagers and having them repopulate your village? It'd introduce a progression element (build a village so you can get trading, instead of raiding them for quick iron and diamonds), it'd allow you to change the world as a result of your own actions (curing the zombified villagers) and it'd create attachment to these villagers, since you had to work to bring them over, and you can't just easily kill them and find another village.
Meanwhile the reality is that you just... find them, loot their village and if they get lucky you'll just leave instead of enslaving them for iron golem farms or zombification discount farms. How heroic of you.
After 4 months, i agree with you, ur a legend🫂🫂
i never got how minecraft is better for building
even if terraria is 2d you can make builds that look 3d with actuators, paint and a hammer
minecraft blocks are much thicker and and don't look as good to me
@@MoonLord-vv1gmand you need shaders for Minecraft builds lol
I would say Terraria being 2D actually helps with it plus the fact that the combination of just the amount of different blocks(with different texturs) and the fact that everything is paintable make Terraria better for building then Minecraft.
For me that is.
Building in Terraria is way better, you have better tools to build easier, more block variety, FURNITURE, you can place blocks further, you can place blocks faster, you can destroy stuff faster, you can fly, you can hold more blocks, you can shape blocks with hammer, you can paint blocks different colors, etc. It's only limitation is that Terraria is locked in 2D
Compared to that, building in Minecraft feels like a chore and a grind. Just to build a simple house you have to chop like 100 trees lol

I don't think there's a need to really compare both
speaking of cosmetics in terraria you just need to find/craft/beat a boss to obtain
while in minecraft you need to buy it

How to prove Terraria is better than Minecraft: You can have a remarkably Minecraft-like experience in Terraria by simply ignoring most of the game. Focus on exploring and building, fight only pre-hardmode enemies and bosses, never beat the wall of flesh. Boom, 2D Minecraft for the most part. Youre missing out on what, animal breeding? Farming?
You cannot however have a Terraria like experience in Minecraft.
Old school Terraria was like that, the game was finished
but then the devs decided to drop the biggest update ever with like 2000+ new blocks 500 new items 100 new monsters 5 new bosses lol
@@Tiagocf2 Indeed, I was playing at the time!
“You cannot however have a terraria like experience in Minecraft”
At least in vanilla
Modding however…
It can really be summed up in just a single word: Progression. This alone makes Terraria SEVERAL TIMES better than Minecraft.
I think the main issue which shows up most when looking at how little the unique biomes/mobs provide in minecraft is simply that minecraft isn't trying to be the kind of game terraria is. It isn't even trying to be a survival game either - it's a creative game where you're given a beautiful world filled with small details that on their own are just a little part of a big picture, and you're free to shape that picture in whatever image you desire.
And then survival mode was just kinda tacked on for people who want that to come with a bit of challenge, but the challenge ended up being super inconsistent and unfair and lame because the game wasn't designed for it and still isn't.
Terraria is better in terms of
-lore and progression
-content and its varieties
-boss fights
-updates
Minecraft is better in terms of
-being a sandbox game
-multiplayer
-content creation
-having more dimensions (lol)

How the hell does MC have better multiplayer when you have to host your own server
@@insert_name8490 Minecraft has well-known public servers to play a large variety of games with other players with their own plugins. Terraria, on the other hand, doesn't have that, and I wish it did.
I agree with most of these, though I feel like Terraria's building and sandboxing is often disregarded when there is actually much more to it. There is a reason to that though. Minecraft's is much simpler and easier to execute when it comes to building, which allows more players to recognize that. Terraria's has a lot of useful tools for this, but would require some extra effort from the player to understand everything. This is intentional design from the developers, and having understood both I am biased to say I prefer Terraria's more.

Can I be honest? Minecraft was a game I watched my cousin play for over a decade. She gave me the controller and tbh, and I'm the type to give new things a try, but I just wasn't feeling it AT all. Then, years later, terraria came out, played it for fifteen minutes and that was it. Now, in 2024 I decided to actually give it a chance and I'm not exaggerating, from fifteen minutes to 315 hours today of playtime, I really am happy I gave terraria another chance. I would like Minecraft more if it had even a slight clue of what you're 'supposed' to do to progress compared to Terraria's NPC's who literally guide you to what you could do next.

Both games do have phenomenal building options. I've seen AMAZING artwork in BOTH games, however Minecraft has a HUGE advantage when it comes to redstone and command blocks allowing you to build LITERAL computers.
Yes there is wiring and some cool contraptions in Terraria, but you can't make anything NEARLY as complex as some creations in Minecraft.
Overall, I enjoy Terraria more. It feels more engaging to me. Minecraft? Eh. It's lost its charm for me. I understand why people like it. Unfortunately, I'm not very creative when it comes to building, and the survival aspects kinda suck for me (for the same reasons in the video).
Terraria has more wiring items, like toggle blocks, player detectors, logic gates. Minecraft doesn't so you need to improvise with pistons and stuff. You can totally build computers on Terraria, but it's harder due to space constraints because the game is 2D

I (like most people) like a challenge. Minecraft is piss easy, and when you do die in Minecraft, it’s because you died to a creeper you couldn’t see or got knocked into a pit due to something unavoidable. And it’s not just because Minecraft is 3D. Many other 3D games give you at least a little indication of mobs attacking you or where you’re getting hit.

In terms of graphics, Terraria literally just has flat, pixelated, 2d images. You can’t get much graphically lower than that..
Visually, on the other hand, terraria can be a true sight to behold, with excellent art direction and some truly visually stunning late-game weapons.
Although it’s modded, Calamity Infernum Devourer of Gods is an outstanding example of this. While technically being just a bunch of low-res pngs, the care put into those pngs make it one of the most ornate and beautiful bosses I have ever seen in a video game…

i find mining to be so boring that my fun stops the moment i get a singular diamond
You are just gatekeeping your Minecraft experience. you can do anything. You decide to stop after building a house because of your choice.
Really? I never got bored in my longterm minecraft world that lasted for months
@@DalekGarf ofc my bad, I got bored of my own choice bc making a hyper efficient sugar cane farm isn't exactly my idea of exciting
@@chuni5942 I don't like making farms either, it's why I don't.
My main point is that mods are easily accessible and free for Terraria, and has one of (if not) the most well-known video game mods. Even after beating the vanilla game, you can come back to a completely new experience. Also in just the vanilla game you can play all 3 difficulties and all 4 classes in multiple runs, which makes the potential Terraria playtime rival the potential Minecraft playtime
Its an opinion guys, neither is better both have their own merits. That being said, terraria is better.
On a more serious note: Minecraft to me is more of a building game and a creative outlet, which I think it does a little better than terraria just because its 3d and easier to get into. Also minecraft multiplayer is super fun, and much better for high player counts (although Terraria still has amazing multiplayer). For most players though, Terraria is just way more fun, and its objectively better because of its content and enjoyment (not saying terraria has to be your favorite, its absolutely fine to have an opinion)
Minecraft also really doesn't seem like your type of game
Also sorry for the unorganised comment, I wrote this in a really weird way
Terraria debatably has more construction and sandbox capabilities. Since wiring goes through blocks, you don't need to make room for it beyond levers and the mechanisms. There's also been incredible and detailed structures made in terraria using things like hammers, dynasty wood, the heavy workbench and sawmill, the hand of creation, etc.
It's debatable that Minecraft is better for building, the biggest advantage it has is being 3D.
Honestly I want a video like this talking about the quality of the weird spiritual "love-child" of the two: Starbound
While Minecraft and Terraria are largely different to the point of being mostly incomparable, I can still look at their overall quality and think "Man... Terraria's gotten a lot more love sunken into it lately"
Minecraft's just been on a downward spiral with recent updates, and I don't say that as someone who was hyped for Caves and Cliffs and butt-hurt over its split, I say that in observation of how n o t h i n g Minecraft's updates have felt since around then
I find that the novelty of a modern update in Minecraft quickly wears off for me because it's either something I don't need to interact with other than possibly for multiplayer (Sniffers, decorational armor trims) or I likely have to go out of my way to check it out (Ancient cities, I've explored and disarmed one and then never really tried to do the same for another)
Terraria is just a gift that keeps on giving and bringing me back meanwhile: 1.4.4's melee rework is amazing, Empress of Light is flashy and I still have yet to give her a proper try myself but the fact there's an actual incentive to BE A GOD GAMER against her is great, blah blah literal poop as an item blah...
And then there's Starbound, a weird combination of Terraria's 2D format + combat, and Minecraft's "infinite world" idea + its exploration all while having a plot of its own... and kinda failing to do any of these things
But it's a weird case to me because it feels like Starbound's dev team (that's probably now non-existent due to allegations with the studio of the team not getting due payment) stopped while they were ahead, and it's actually getting to a point of being better than Minecraft just because Starbound's not getting any worse (nor is it getting better but look at Minecraft's array of one-off things nobody gives much of a shit about anymore)
i played terraria for 1.2k hours then got a permanent burnout and i like minecraft now
I would say Terraria beats Minecraft at even the sandbox. Building in Minecraft is really slow and boring, and there's nothing you can do to speed it up. Meanwhile Terraria progression actually helps you to build bigger and faster with the tools it gives. Bro paint exists, meanwhile minecraft needs 100 types of wood to even match that 😂😂
Also the construction part feels way more cohesive in Terraria, you have to build houses, build hellevators, build arenas. Meanwhile you can beat Minecraft without building anything, the only things you require to build is farms to cut out on boring grind because the progression doesn't help it out
I think terraria just has more content than minecraft, I mean, let's compare the two games (writing this before I watch the video, don't judge)
Minecraft - Craft Tools, find village (optional), go nether, get rods, come back, find stronghold, kill dragon, no more progression at this point, game end
Terraria - Craft tools, explore for better items because without them you won't be able to take on the first boss, defeat boss, defeat another boss to get better items, defeat yet another boss to unlock new unique biome and an npc that will grant you new equipment (wire stuff), defeat yet another boss to get a new npc that will unlock some cool items, defeat another boss to unlock much more variety and new items for your world (also make it harder) at this point you have so much stuff to do I will just skip over it because i'd sit here all night, get new gear, defeat new 3 bosses, get yet more gear, defeat another boss, the progression just never ends and it's not like you're gonna do all that at once, there's fishing, side bosses, all of the npcs and "secret npcs" (see mushroom npc), and the uniqueness of items and tools, chainsaws, drills, GUNS, summons, it has so much more variety than minecraft, the only thing it doesn't have is 3rd dimension view
minecraft is more of a sandbox game
terraria is more of a progression game
@@MrBreast-gc4ziTerraria can also be a sandbox game if you know how to build stuff, But still you need to find other blocks to unlock them.
Honestly, the fact Minecraft doesn't really have a progression system is what makes it so great to me, it's the perfect sandbox
It's playing Legos with some survival/adventure mechanics on top without them being overbearing
All the second part of what you describe makes me feel extremely uninterested in playing terraria xD
@@landhemi3391 just because you can build doesnt mean its a sandbox.
i find it hilarious to be on the underdog's side for 2 different game wars
terraria (underdog) and minecraft

Terraria has colored lighting.
I hate to be that person but "than" not "then"
i dont consider minecraft a building game because it lacks building features like furniture, paints, and a bunch of other stuff
ONG!!
what?
That's pretty stupid, Minecraft is more of a sandbox since you can create your own custom furniture if you actually use your brain. Also, the game has a whole extra dimension to work with.
minecraft is a more simple chilled out game whereas terraria is more of a progression game which im guessing you prefer an actual progression system other than something like a sandbox such as minecraft
Every survival game has a diffrent focus. Don't Starve's focus is to just survive. It's the most "survivalish" survival game out there imo. Terraria's focus is combat and acrion. This is why Terraria has so many weapons. Minecraft's focus is building. It's easliy the most creative game out there.
I think this is just about personal perspective but I agree
This is when I remind you that someone beat the game with a lawnmower. Mechdusa also exists.
As someone who has 1500-2k hours in MC and 120 hours in terraria, I could certainly NOT agree more. Terraria takes almost 70 hours to complete by going the shortcut way, and to 100% you need like 180 hours i guess, while in minecraft it's like 10 hours to get the best armor and beat ender dragon, and like 30 hours to 100% if you are older than 13
that doesn't mean a game is better.
well terraria is $10 and has more content than minecraft which is $30. i think terraria’s better.
@@not_a_cheterIt literally does
@@Banana-rn1zy I was talking about the whole how long does it take to beat and 100% a game part.
@@not_a_cheter I'm aware? Still does make a game better
a combination would be so cool tho, 3d terraria and much better sandbox
"i play both and i loved both game"
- chad
yes
Minecraft is good with friends, and terraria is good by yourself. In terraria you just end up shouting at eachother, while in Minecraft everyone’s pretty chill and cooperative.
No I just think you need to get along with your friends more. In terraria you do not end up shouting at each other because of the game.
no?? in terraria u can turn off pvp, to prevent bullying and also multiplayer in terraria is also good, U can also bring your item with your friends world
@@photonic083 some of my friends have terrible mics and one isn't even a native English speaker so there's mix-ups sometimes, but they also just do really stupid shit.
@@Jamm6295 i never said anything about PVP
you may need better friends
Minecraft is my childhood and my favorite game but I have to agree that terraria is miles better
same i started with mc but now i play terraria cuz i got bored of mc(i still play it but rarely)
keep comparing forks and spoons
@@MrBreast-gc4zii tried playing terraria, got bored and went back to mc
@@axilia203What did you do? I mean It's an exploration game, beat the bosses, complete achievements, play golf (if you can find the golfer) theres alot you can do. If you got bored of dying then your missing the point of the game.
@@axilia203Lol did you even chop down a tree?😂😂😂You got bored while playing Terraria but not got bored till now by playing Minecraft😂
THAN* MINECRAFT.
and yes, terraria is better than minecraft
Poeple that do this are a disgrace to the Minecraft and Terraria brother ship and should uninstall both. We dont need your comparison for 2 legends and you cant prove me otherwise even if you try cuz i can name you 1b reasons why mc is better and 1b other reasons why terraria is better.
one word. progression and theres prob a video on it idk
I like terraria more because minecraft is too easy
Try pvp if you can even reach lt5 its just that youre not familiar with true minecraft and just watched some stuff about it thaat made you think its ez@@mus19990
@@mus19990 very good comment i rate 10/10
@@mrizmooi have over 100 hours on hypixel kid, but i got bored
I fully agree. Minecraft just seems bland, but terraria is always fun until just after moon lord. But you didn‘t even mention mods, which make terraria have endless possibilities, Minecraft mods though, take forever to get and dont normally add much to the game.
minecraft: also play terrarai!!
Terraria: also play Minecraft!!!
Thats why TerrariaCraft exist so we can experience both .
I think Minecraft has way better building and pvp combat(they basically mastered it) and Terraria has incredible progression, boss fights, and exploration. (This is just my personal opinion)
minecraft is absoloutly not made for pvp, the system is terrible(same for terraria)
minecraft's pvp isnt perfect by any means but i do agree its better than one shotting other people in vanilla terraria pvp
nice rage bait with no elaboration what so ever. seems like just prejiduce@@ki_dragonkiller6651
@@ki_dragonkiller6651 yes it is. why do you think there are countless servers solely focused on pvp?
There are actualy 6 biome exclusive bosses in terraria: boc, eow, queen bee, deerclops, plantera and golem
Duke fishron?
Seven, including Duke fishron. Also I’m glad these bosses don’t des lawn when taken out of the biome, but enrage. It’s cool
Boc
Eoc
Queen Bee
Deerclops

This was a debate, seriously?
although each game is its own genre and can't really be compared, for me minecraft got a bit boring whereas terraria i still find fun stuff i didn't know about and more.
@@WannabeHeavenResident i don't know if 2d vs 3d is enough of a distinction to say they aren't the same genre.
@@scottrussell360 minecraft is more of a sandbox kind of game while terraria is more of an rpg i'd say, 2d and 3d isn't all that is.
@@WannabeHeavenResident not really, minecraft has progression and an end, just like terraria. Various biomes and NPCs and crafting and enchantments.
Both can be played as a builder sandbox entirely ignoring progression.
UI and perspective differ but the core of each is the same.
@@WannabeHeavenResident Terraria is not a rpg,is a sandbox just like minecraft.
I’m of the opinion that if you think terraria and Minecraft are similar. You have not played both or at least beat both. Terraria becomes a completely different game from even itself after Hardmode. The similarities are really only surface level. Not really comparable. Both are also going for completely different vibes.
Personally I like both, but I like Minecraft better
Everyone throw rocks at this man
@@aidanmarshall9945yes
yeah depends on personality
Why do you like Minecraft better just tell me in which aspect it is better than Terraria...?
@@basharatrahman6249 Because it isn't as linier as Terreria, and it is much better for building. Both games are different, it's like comparing a platformer to a shooter, you can think one is better than the other, but objectively they are totally different games with different playstyles.
