Tutorial

The Tutorial is a special world scripted to explain to the player the basics of the game. The player starts on a small floating island, between a small hole covered by three Wood Platforms. Nearby there are some Ores. The Tutorial will ask the player to do a certain task, and once it is completed the player will be able to start the next task. If the player, by accident or on purpose, does a task before they are asked to do so, the game will just let them skip it. The tutorial has its own music track. The game will randomly choose a gender, clothes colors, and race for the player. The race tends to be Black or White, and not any specific colors.

World


* All accessible chests on the island are marked, but chests off the island are only marked if they have unique items, in order to prevent bloat.

Details about the Tutorial World

 * Unlike other versions of the Tutorial, the player character is unnamed, and all instances of the player's name will appear blank.
 * The time does not change from noon.
 * As such, any bosses locked behind night time cannot be summoned. Taking into account all other restrictions on the world, the only summonable bosses are the King Slime, the Eater of Worlds, and the Wall of Flesh.
 * This also means there is a permanent -20% fishing power penalty on the player. This makes it significantly harder to fish, especially when combined with the lack of good Fishing Rods early on.
 * There appear to be no Heart Crystals. There is one Glowing Mushroom biome in the world right under the Island in the top layer of the cavern yielding a Mushroom seed.
 * All blue flowers in both the underground and island jungle drop Nature's Gifts with various modifiers. It is best for the player to keep the best ones and sell the rest for money.
 * If playing on an earlier version of switch, normal music would begin playing after the tutorial was completed
 * Due to the constraints of the tutorial, only the Guide, Merchant, Demolitionist, Dye Trader, Dryad, Arms Dealer, Painter, Angler, and Goblin Tinkerer can move in. The Skeleton Merchant can also spawn underground.
 * Butterflies do not spawn during the tutorial, however, all other critters seem to spawn as normal.
 * The world spawns with Salamanders and Crawdads.
 * The Tutorial Music plays everywhere except for the Underworld.
 * The whole world appears to be shifted up around 80 tiles, as well as having a very thin cavern layer.
 * The world is actually a small 1.1 world with a water-filled sand basin carved out. An island has been built in the middle of this basin, and if the player were to dig through the basin itself, they would find the rest of the world under it. The underside of the sand basin is lined with dirt.
 * The Flippers are near required for early traversal off the island, but it is also possible to gather enough money to get the merchant to move in, and then farm blocks with the Sickle to make a bridge.
 * Once acquired, The Rod of Discord is both useful for exploring caves and traversing the basin, should the player not have a bridge.

Directions

 * The game will first instruct the player to move around, jump, then fall through the nearby Wood Platforms.
 * After jumping out, the game will tell the player to use an item, and switch to another one, more specifically, to the Copper Shortsword / Wooden Sword.
 * After this, the player will be instructed to kill a Green Slime. The slime will always appear from the left.
 * The player will then be told to cut down a tree to obtain some wood. The player is then told how to use this wood via the inventory.
 * When the player enters their inventory, the player will be told how to switch between menus and how to craft. The player can leave the inventory after crafting three torches.
 * After exiting the inventory, the game directs the player to a vein of ore, which the player is told to mine.
 * The player is told to build 5 platforms to get out of the hole. Under the ore is a chest containing 99 Wood, ( only) which can be used to build the required house.
 * The game then instructs the player to smelt the ore after exiting the pit. The player ends up with two of each ore, with two Copper and Iron left over.
 * After that, the player is told to build a house of a minimum of 6 by 10 blocks. Even though a house can be smaller in-game, the tutorial will not progress until the requirement is met.
 * The player will then craft a Work Bench, use it to craft a Door, build the background walls for the house, and place a Chair and Torch for a suitable house.
 * After this, the player can explore the world and do whatever they want, but it is recommended that they create their own world.
