Upcoming features

This page is about features that have been announced by official game developers. Please remember that none of this is guaranteed to be included in the game.

Some of the following information hasn't been explicitly announced yet, and are only listed upon assumption of information released by the developers (i.e. screenshots). Some names are conjectural, and therefore may not be the final name upon release. References with a dotted underline will indicate where the information is exactly sourced from within the reference when hovered over with the cursor.

1.1 (next patch)
1.1 is planned to be the first major content update. Its release date is currently unknown. However, Redigit has recently stated that the soonest it will be out is November, but might be as late as December. It will be a very large content update, akin to a "free expansion pack," according to Redigit.

New items

 * Hallowed Seeds, which can be planted to create an "anti-corruption" biome (which stops the Corruption from spreading).
