The Player

The Player is a reference conserning the person who plays Terraria. A Player may choose to either play Multiplayer with other Players and NPCs, or to play Singleplayer only with NPCs (Non-Player Characters). The Player can choose from a variety of Clothing, Colors and Tools to make him or her look different from others.

Since of a recent update the Player can choose to insert items into Social Slots. The items inserted may be Vanity Items who exist only to be set in a Social Slot, or an Armor Piece, in which case it will be shown instead of the current armor equiped, but will not increase any stats furtherly. Also, for example, if you are wearing a full Shadow Armor Set in the Armor slots, you will gain all the armor buffs etc., but if you wear a full Molten Armor Set in the social slot, only the Molten Armor will be shown and only it's special animation will be shown also. The Molten Armor can also be used as a source of light while moving, and since the Shadow Armor has a much higher Armor buff, it is recomended to have it put on that way, but the player can choose whicever combination he or she wants.

The Player can provoke some things the NPCs cannot, for example: Onl ya Player can provoke a Boss to Awake, and only a Player can build houses and with that provoke the appearing of the NPCs.
