Some tips from me:

1) Build a house in the Jungle for the Witch Doctor, and buy a Leaf Wings for 1 Platinum from him. It's good, and it flies pretty high (162 feet) and it's the same level as Frozen, Flame, Beetle, Festive, Spooky and Mothron Wings. Except it goes up slower.

2) Go fishing on pre-hardmode and get as many as crates that you can get. When your world is hardmode, open all of your crates. You will get hardmode ores and can craft a few early weapons and tools for it.

3) Don't break all of the Demon/Crimson Altar, break it only like 3-15, because: 1. It spawns lesser ores than the last one your world is blessed with that ore, and 2. It converts 1 random block in your world into ebonstone/crimstone and another one is pearlstone; so If you break too many, your world will spread faster corruption/crimson and Hallow

4) There's 3 types of Armor variation for the Titianium/Adamantite set: 1. The armor itself (pretty good defense and damage, set bonus is you have a chance to dodge an attack), 2. Frost Armor (Designed for a Melee/Ranger class, lesser defense for melee, but higher defense for ranged. The set bonus deals frostburn to enemies using melee and ranged weapons), and 3. Forbidden Armor (Designed for Mage/Summoner class. Lesser defense but high damage, and the set bonus is double tap DOWN to spawn a guardian). So, think first what armor do you want to make, don't just be like: "I want titanium bcuz it's strong!", there's more variation of it.

5) For very very early hardmode tips, like the first day in your hardmode day, go to a Spider Nest and farm some black recluses for Spider Fangs and Poison Staff. Craft a Spider Armor, Spider Staff and Queen Spider Staff out of it, and you're ready to go! Spiders will help you attack enemies.

That's some additional tips from me, hopefully it helps ;)
