Master Mode

Master Mode is an option that can be selected during world creation. It further increases the difficulty of the game beyond Expert Mode, as well as offering Master Mode–exclusive items. Like Expert Mode, Master Mode begins the moment the Master Mode world has been created, and cannot be altered after that by the player. In Journey Mode, Master Mode can be toggled using the difficulty slider.

All Expert Mode changes also apply to Master Mode, including increased drop chances, modified AIs, etc. All Expert-exclusive content is available in Master Mode.

General

 * Most enemies have roughly 50% more health and damage and 10% more knockback resistance than in Expert Mode (thus three times as much health and damage and 20% more knockback resistance than in Classic Mode).
 * For example, a Blue Slime has the following stats in the different modes:


 * {| class="terraria align-center"

! Stat !! Classic !! Expert !! Master
 * align=left | Max. health || ||  ||
 * align=left | Damage || ||  ||
 * align=left | KB resistance || ||  ||
 * }
 * Bosses gain flat 50% increase in damage and 27.5% in health to their Expert Mode values.
 * Like in Expert Mode, weaker enemies may get an additional multiplier to the above stats upon entering Hardmode and another after Plantera has been defeated.
