Actually... Terraria was released on May 16, 2011, (no earlier information to be found) and Minecraft  development started at May 10, 2009, and publicly released on  May 17, 2009 as classic version. (But official release was  18th November 2011, but there were many players before official release, including me and my friends ;). )  So I would say Minecraft was actually released first. But I dunno, depends on how people think about it..?

Don't get me wrong, just saying this, no hating. ^^

(I always say that... I don't want to get people angry.. ^^)
