Smart Cursor Bug?
(PC version) I was using a Chlorophyte Warhammer and toggled on Smart Cursor to take out stone walls. When I got close to a Demon Altar, the cursor automatically aimed for it and hit it a few times. This was a pre-hardmode world, so it hurt me a few times before I realized what was happening. My question is: is the Smart Cursor supposed to prioritize hitting Demon Altars? And is this related to why the Picksaw will prioritize chopping down trees over digging out the blocks below the player? FyreNWater (talk) 21:10, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Minimap
"if you can't toggle your minimap on,or this isn't in the setting menu,it must be because your PC is old"

LOL,you simply go to CONFIG.JSON,look carefully to "mapenabled",set it to true and done :) Jonhof04 (talk) 04:49, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

This article is outdated, please fix asap
I was recently going through the Terraria settings, and was a bit confused with some of them. So, I looked to this page to see what things were, but the organization of the settings has changed in game since this article's last major edit (I assume), and more have been added. I don't have the knowledge to edit it all myself, but I would greatly recommend that you fix this page. Raddaman8000 (talk) 18:02, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

Need some help with resolution.
I wanted to change some settings and hit the resolution option to see whats it's about. I changed my resolution and my inventory, crafting slots, equipment, ... the whole screen itself got smaller and zoomed out. Now I can't reset it and when I try to set the resolution to its original, it didn't work. And with every change I made with the resolution, it got all smaller and zoomed out. Now I can't see things that good anymore. Maybe adding a 'switch to default' button help. Any solutions? It is really ruining my gameplay. And one hint, DON'T change the settings unless you need to and know what you are doing!


 * You can exit the game and open your config.json file. Look for "DisplayWidth" and "DisplayHeight", change them to reasonable values (1024 x 768 might be one to try), save the file and then start the game.


 * In the future it's best to ask these questions at the forum. I hope this helps though. Equazcion  ( talk ) 19:33, 29 Sep 2016 (UTC)

>Playing in windowed mode may slow performance as the game will be rendered only by the CPU.
This is just incorrect statement. CPU rendering (called Software Rendering) is an ancient thing, wich have leaved back in 90s. Now everything is rendering via GPU. Main difference of fullscreen and windowed mode is in graphic context. If we have some visible windows, then compositor (in operating system's graphic system) must update all their contents. But when compositor see that we have a fullscreen application, it can ignore background updates (because user will not notice them anyway), and save some performance. Switching between fullscreen application and background will cause lag, because compositor must update everything.

Console
Console 1.3 got some of those settings too Proline3366 (talk) 12:34, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
