This is a very old joke and is very lame, the only similarity between the two games is the crafting, nothing else. There are tons of other games with crafting but no one ever compares it to Minecraft.

Terraria is a game based on the Metroid sidescrolling action game with some crafting due to a sandbox aspect added. It focuses more on fighting monsters and bosses. Building isn't the main focus of the game.

Minecraft is based on Infiniminer and Dungeon Keeper for the first person 3D cube world aspect, then on Dwarf Fortress for the survival and crafting aspect which Minecraft didn't initially have but implemented later on. Fighting isn't the main focus of the game.

Both games are polar opposites of each other when it comes to both strengths and weaknesses, and like I have said, the only similarity is the sandbox aspect.

This thread is only designed to incite arguments and trolling for preference of one game over the other and promote further divide and misunderstanding between the two very different games.
