Gameplay
Players begin by creating a character, and then a world. Multiple characters and multiple worlds can be created. World generation is based on random seeds, so two worlds are generally never the same. The game starts with the character spawning in the middle of their new world, armed with a Copper Shortsword for protection (a Wooden Sword in the ), a Copper Pickaxe for mining, and a Copper Axe for gathering wood. The player is then encouraged to gather resources (such as ore), build a base for defense against enemies, and generally overcome various game challenges. Hints to aid the game progression are provided by the Guide NPC who spawns nearby.

The game includes a wide array of features. Players will generally be spending their time exploring, building things, collecting/creating items (mainly for empowering the character), fishing, and fighting monsters and bosses. As Terraria is a sandbox game, players are not locked into working towards any singular goal and can decide for themselves what to pursue. One popular goal is to make one's character as strong as possible and ultimately defeat the game's hardest bosses and events, such as the.



Terraria can also be played in multi-player, in which more than one character can play in the same world. Multi-player games are either cooperative games where players work together to build things or overcome challenges as in single-player or competitive PvP games where players or teams fight against each other.

The time system of Terraria is real-time, the in-game time furthermore cycling between day and night. The game can, however, be paused (in single-player), but only if the option is enabled in the settings. It is also possible to save and exit the game whenever desired and resume later. However, the character will teleport back to their spawn point.
