Player stats

Numerical miscellany for basic player functions and movement.

Temporary bonuses:

Horizontal movement
Recall that one block in Terraria is a two foot square. The following values are ignoring the small amount of time it takes to accelerate from a standing position. Accessories that add a constant stacking bonus do so in an additive way (so +10% and +10% is in total +20). The movement speed is capped at 1.4*base speed.

The three hook tools, i.e. the Grappling Hook, Ivy Whip, and Dual Hook reel in the player at a constant speed regardless of speed boosting accessories. The more passive speed boosts a player has, the less noticeable using a hook is to move quickly. The Hermes Boots and Spectre Boots build up to a fixed speed of max movement speed (possibly higher like the hooks but need verification). Using movement boosts with one of the two boots only speeds up the boots' effect.

Note: As of 1.0.6, two of the same type of accessories may no longer be equipped at once, thus it is impossible to use more than one Anklet of the Wind, except with the use of an inventory editor.

Vertical movement
Players are able to jump once to a height of 6 blocks above foot level with no extra equipment. A Shiny Red Balloon will increase this to 10 blocks. A Cloud in a Bottle will provide a second jump which begins at a similar velocity to the first, and is also affected by the Shiny Red Balloon if the player has both equipped. There are currently no items that make you fall faster, though the Ivy Whip or Grappling Hook may be used to temporarily "fall" faster by grappling downwards while in water or Cobwebs (they are not significantly faster than falling in air). The numbers for Rocket Boots are at maximum velocity, not when decelerating.

Medium movement
There are currently 3 media in the game other than air: Water, Lava, and Cobwebs. They all have slowing effects on movement compared to that of air.
