Secret world seeds

Some world seeds have been discovered as secret easter eggs that generate worlds with strange or unique features.

Secret seeds can produce worlds with characteristics that would not be attainable through normal world generation. They can affect not only the usual world structure, but also the game's mechanics while playing in that world. They may change enemy statistics and behavior, item drops, graphics, theme music, and more.

Secret seeds use unique world-generating mechanics that differ from normal seeds. Using a secret seed overrides the normal use of seeds as a source of randomness, and two worlds created via the same secret seed will not necessarily be identical.

Drunk World



 * Seeds:  or

This seed references the date of 1.4's official release, 5/16/2020, and generates a strange world referred to in the source code as. It has therefore come to be referred to by the Terraria community as "Drunk World."


 * Both World evils generate, each on opposite sides of the world, and both the Corruption and Crimson Biome Chests are present in the Dungeon. The world icon in the world selection menu shows a tree infected with both world evils.
 * Shadow Orbs and Crimson Hearts share a single counter. Only the first of either will be a guaranteed firearm, and every 3rd total will spawn its boss.
 * At the start of each day, the main world evil will switch. This only affects features that depend on a single world evil such as which items NPCs sell during Blood Moons and Eclipses and which player-made evil Mimic will spawn.
 * When the world transitions to Hardmode, only one evil is chosen to be opposed to the Hallow.
 * Both ore variants for each tier generate, instead of just one. This applies to Hardmode ores as well: It requires destroying six Demon or Crimson Altars for all ores instead of three. Destroying the first three Altars will generate Hardmode ores as normal, and destroying the next three Altars will generate the other variants. Destroying more Altars will repeat the cycle, generating more veins of those ores.
 * The Party Girl replaces the Guide upon entering the world for the first time.
 * Visiting this world once permanently unlocks a "Music" option in the Party Girl's menu, to toggle the game's default soundtrack for the Terraria: Otherworld soundtrack. Once unlocked, the option carries to all players and all worlds. Every song in Terraria's soundtrack is replaced with an Otherworld equivalent. In multiplayer, only players who unlocked the "Music" option themselves will hear the change.
 * Living Trees generate much more frequently on the surface, and may be clustered and interconnected underground.
 * Living Mahogany Trees can generate anywhere underground, not just in the jungle.
 * Moon Lord Legs and Red Potion items can generate in Chests with and  chance to appear, respectively.
 * Marble and Granite caves swap their structures and tiles.
 * Jungle and Snow biomes generate on the same side opposite of the Dungeon.
 * The Jungle generates without a tunnel to the surface, unlike normal worlds would.
 * The Dungeon generates underneath a "dead" Living Tree, and contains Chippy's Couch. The tree's leaves will be painted brown to differentiate it from other Living Trees, and the Dungeon painted red, yellow, blue, purple, or brown.
 * The surface entrance to the Dungeon is completely removed, and the Old Man is placed in a pre-generated house underground, making it harder to defeat Skeletron.
 * The Old Man may spawn in the Dungeon in the underground entrance. As such, entering the Dungeon will not spawn the Dungeon Guardian. However, going below a depth of 265 will still spawn the Dungeon Guardian.
 * The Jungle Temple is painted green and is much larger than normal.
 * Bee Hives are replaced with oversized variants, hosting multiple Larvae.
 * The spawn rate inside is significantly increased to match that of Blood Moons.
 * The Underworld's horizontal layout is inverted, with the middle third as a continuous lava lake and the two thirds at the edges containing Ruined Houses.
 * Floating islands are now either deserts with sand instead of dirt and/or snow biomes with snow instead of dirt, with a corresponding Water Fountain.
 * Both Oceans will always generate with the ocean cave variant.
 * Deserts have a much higher chance of generating Pyramids.
 * Gem trees and Underground Rich Mahogany trees are much more common.
 * Vanity trees chance to replace a forest tree during generation is increased from 5% to 15%.
 * The surface layer is slightly thicker, with the underground starting slightly lower than normal, relative to the map height.
 * Moss is less frequent and cannot generate in the vertical middle third of the map.
 * Cactus generated at the start of the world have a chance to be larger than usual.
 * Scaled up enemies will look slightly larger, while scaled down enemies will look slightly smaller.
 * While generating:
 * The generation descriptions and tips become random numbers that change every tick (except when "placing traps").
 * The background shows a Glowing Mushroom biome rapidly scrolling towards the left on a permanent night sky. Several more falling stars than usual can be seen.
 * The moon moves backwards through the sky and resembles a glowing smiley face, referencing a popular astronomy hoax.
 * The clouds resemble Redigit's head.
 * The outline of the progress bar rapidly flashes between Corruption and Crimson.
 * The Title (Console) theme music plays, instead of the normal title theme.
 * The Terraria logo spins out and disappears along with the version number.
 * Chroma keyboards will appropriately light up as the surface mushroom theme.
 * Once the world finishes generating, it is possible to go back to the main menu with these effects still visible.

Not the bees



 * Seed:  or   (case insensitive)

This seed references a meme from the 2006 remake of the film The Wicker Man. It generates a world dominated by bee-themed biomes and bee-related items and structures.


 * While generating, the generation descriptions all say "Generating bees".
 * The starting NPC is the Merchant instead of the Guide.
 * All Water is replaced with Honey, except on Floating Islands.
 * Jungle replaces Forest.
 * Hive Blocks replace Stone Blocks.
 * Honey Blocks replace Sand Blocks at the Ocean.
 * The Snow biome is composed entirely of Hive blocks.
 * Larvae generate abundantly and can appear anywhere.
 * The Dungeon is Painted orange.
 * The Merchant sells the Furnace.
 * Queen Bee spawns at the edge of the world.
 * Most of the Mud Blocks in the Glowing Mushroom biome are replaced by Crispy Honey Blocks.
 * Much of the lower cavern area is Glowing Mushroom biome that extends down to the Underworld.
 * The Desert and evil biomes are not affected.

For the worthy



 * Seed:  (case insensitive)

This special world's features aim to drastically increase the difficulty of the game. It is referred to in the code as.


 * The world generation screen messages have backwards text.
 * The Demolitionist replaces the Guide upon entering the world for the first time.
 * Some water pools throughout the world are replaced with lava.
 * Pots drop lit bombs that shortly explode, instead of collectible Bomb items.
 * Trees drop lit bombs when hit, instead of their usual items.
 * The Wall of Flesh has 50% more health applied before any bonuses.
 * All enemies and bosses that do not gain size modifications (see below) have their defense increased by 50%, damage increased by 20%, and size increased by 10% before any difficulty bonuses.
 * Enemies and bosses have their health and damage doubled alongside difficulty bonuses (a Blue Slime will have 100 health in Expert mode compared to its usual 50 health.)
 * All enemy damage is increased by 33% after difficulty bonuses.
 * The Eater of Worlds and Wall of Flesh receive small defense bonuses.
 * Many bosses are either larger or smaller than normal:
 * Larger: Skeletron, King Slime, Destroyer, Plantera, Eater of Worlds, Skeletron Prime, Queen Bee.
 * Smaller: Golem, Wall of Flesh, The Twins.
 * The Hungry and Probes have increased sizes.
 * Spider Nests, Granite Caves, Marble Caves, and Glowing Mushroom biomes are much more common.
 * Glowing Mushroom biomes are much larger.
 * Floating Islands are always infected with the world's evil, with matching water fountains.
 * Skyware Chests are replaced with locked Gold Chests.
 * The Dungeon is painted with vibrant colors and filled with many more Spike traps. Additionally, the surface building of the Dungeon is inverted (the opening faces towards the nearest Ocean). It is therefore possible for the entrance of the Dungeon to be below the ground.
 * The Jungle Temple is painted green and is much larger.
 * Underworld:
 * The Ash Block ground is speckled with 1 block-sized pockets of lava.
 * Digging up Ash Blocks will sometimes trigger other nearby Ash Blocks to fall (be affected by gravity), similar to Silt. This behavior is closely related to that of Cracked Dungeon Bricks.
 * All Ruined Houses are made of Hellstone Bricks.
 * All Demons are replaced with Voodoo Demons.
 * Wood Chest/Water Chest loot can contain a single Dirt Block along with their standard loot.
 * Red Potions can generate in chests. When consumed, these apply 3 random 30-minute buffs (instead of applying all debuffs like in other world seeds).
 * Bunnies are replaced with Explosive Bunnies.
 * The Brain of Cthulhu spawns with 40 Creepers, twice as many as normal.
 * Skeletron Prime's bombs destroy blocks.
 * The Lunatic Cultist and Empress of Light cycle faster between attacks.
 * The Queen Bee dashes quicker, spawns more bees, and shoots stingers faster.
 * The Destroyer has twice as many segments (160).
 * All blocks take only half as many hits with a pickaxe to break, rounded up.

Trivia

 * The discovery of Drunk World originated from an image posted in a tweet by Redigit, featuring the release date and the new world generation screen.
 * The moon forming a smiley face in the world generation screen of Drunk World is a reference to a meme stating that "The moon, Jupiter and Venus will form a smiley face on May 16th, 2020", the date 1.4 was released.
 * The Moon Lord Legs is likely Redigit's answer to a petition to add Moon Lord's legs to the 1.4 version of the game.
 * "Not the Bees!" is also an achievement for firing a Bee Gun with a full set of Bee armor equipped.
 * "For the Worthy" relates to the tooltip for Red Potion. It is the only world where the potion grants buffs rather than debuffs.
 * In "For the Worthy", the locked gold chests on Floating Islands originated from earlier versions of Terraria, in which Floating Islands contained locked chests. This caused them to be generally inaccessible until defeating Skeletron.
