Known Bugs (Console)

As we find bugs on the consoles versions, this page will be updated. Feel free to edit this page and add or remove bugs as more are discovered and some are updated.

Known Bugs (General)

 * When making a hole in the bottom of a large quantity of water, the water drains - duplicating itself infinitely.
 * Sometimes, even when you have enough materials to craft an item, the item will not show in the crafting menu. This can be bypassed by talking to The Guide and showing him the materials or simply dropping the required items and picking them back up.
 * The automatic mode has a higher range of breaking and placing blocks than the manual mode. (7 blocks for the automatic mode, the manual mode reaches only 6 blocks)
 * Though it is not a bug, when crafting a new armor piece be aware that it will be automatically equip into the vanity section if you're already using armor in the armor section. You will have to manually place the new armor into the armor section.
 * In some worlds, Hellforges can't be found anywhere in the Underworld, though they do spawn and can be located in the Stone Layer, near the Underworld.
 * When at the edge of the world, there is a rare chance the game will crash. Along with this; sometimes the game will crash if you get too close to the bottom of the world on a large map.
 * If you hit a chest with the ice rod, it will split into two chests. Every time you form an ice block on it after that, it automatically makes two chests. Along with the duplication, it forms a graphical glitch in which the ice that you formed on the chest will have made that part of the chest disappear.
 * If you get a speed changing prefix on your weapon, the prefix will read backwards. Ex. Slow says +speed, and agile says -speed. Also, if you get a mana cost changing prefix, the color will be inverted. Ex. -mana cost will be in red (like it was bad, though it is a good change).
 * Often Vilethorn does not function as intended, either using mana but having no effect whatsoever or placing a flickering image of a small segment of the extended Vilethorn at the location of the player, which lingers in place for a short amount of time and will damage enemies that walk over it.
 * Sometimes when you use a Magic Mirror while in a Meteor Biome (at least 50 meteorite blocks are nearby) and a Meteor Head is approaching you, the Meteor Head will keep following you.
 * In some worlds, it is impossible to relocate NPCs, even if you're inside a vacant suitable house.
 * It is possible that when a new world is generated, all or most of the Golden Chests will spawn with the same treasure item. As this can be very annoying for some players, you can know this will happen if you get the same item from at least three golden chests, then create a new world if it is your case.
 * Sometimes when fighting the Twins near your home, when you instantly respawn one of the twins will have disappeared.
 * Though it is not a glitch, worlds can be downloaded off of the internet, giving players free items and achievements for work they did not do. This violates both Microsoft's and Sony's terms of service, and is not recommended.
 * When traveling in the Underworld it is possible to find Heart Crystals halfway drowned in lava (Where only the top half of the Heart is shown), draining the pool of lava that the Heart is currently in will result in displaying only half a Heart, having it cut off where the lava level was.
 * Sometimes after spawning the Wall of Flesh the player is grabbed by the Tongue and pulled in front of the wall, quickly noticing it's moving the wrong way. You can spawn him being furthest east, and still have WoF moving east even though he was supposed to move west. Although there is no guaranteed fix to this yet, it can be subverted by summoning him near the center of the Underworld.
 * If a player uses a grappling device to hold onto the lower part of the door, then opens the door it will send the player flying a little.
 * When you use the ice rod on a tree it won't destroy the whole tree but only will destory the part that you use it on, the other tree will stay floating and the ice block will stay there, when you exit the world and come back it the ice block is gone and the floating tree will remain.
 * Dungeon Bricks can't be broken like in the PC Version, it is unknown if it is intentional or not.
 * Occasionally the Leaderboards will not update your own stats.
 * In some worlds, every Shadow Orb broken after the second one will drop an Orb Of Light. The only known way to fix this is by creating a new world.

Known Bugs (Multiplayer)

 * Sometimes, when the guest player in an online game tries to go far to one side of the world (right, left, below, or above) they will not be able to go past a certain area, as if the world has ended. This does not affect the host player. One way to know that this will happen is setting a spawn point in or just above the Underworld, and when you join the game, if you do not spawn at that spawn point, then this bug is active. This bug can be solved  by leaving and rejoining the game.
 * Using the Magic Missle along with other magic items that control an object while playing online can cause the host player to crash. When the host uses on of these items, it will crash everyone playing, discluding the host themselves.
 * If a guest in the world saves with an item in his/her inventory, places it in a chest, and then leaves without saving (turn off autosave, leave game), they will have it in their inventory and it will still be in the chest. This is an effective way of duplicating any item.
 * When two players interact with a door at the same time, it duplicates the door every time you open it (As it seems, this can seriously damage your world, so avoid doing it).
 * When one player is editing a gravestone and another destroys the gravestone, the world will crash. This may also work with a sign but is not confirmed at this time.
 * When a boss is defeated, all the players that didn't create the world freeze and have to restart the system.
 * There is a rare glitch that can happen if you are in a friend's world and you disconnect / are disconnected from Xbox Live. After you are kicked from the world if you go into Single Player and join one of your worlds the world will be a clear cut copy of your friend's world and the majority of the world will never generate. The change appears to be irreversable. There is currently no known fix.
 * Sometimes, microphones won't work properly (need confirmation as it can be due to NAT issues not related to the game).
