3DS version
The 3DS version of Terraria was published by 505 Games and developed by Codeglue. It is a port of CodeGlue’s 
Mobile version. This version contains exclusive content not available on other versions, including enemies, armor, weapons, pets, and bosses, but some exclusive content is also available on the 
Old-gen console version.
The 3DS version is unlike the other console versions, not only because of its exclusive entities, but also because it follows its own update line. A list of all the updates it has had, as well as a few highlights of each one, can be found at 3DS version history.
It can be played on the New Nintendo 3DS family of systems at a higher frame rate and it adds an expanded world option.
The 3DS version's most recent update is equal to 
Desktop 1.2.1 with some content from 1.2.2 to 1.3.1.
This version will not receive any significant updates past its current Desktop 1.2.1 equivalent (with small 1.3 exceptions).[1]
Many desktop exclusive items can be hacked in with homebrew and many surprisingly are usable
3DS-exclusive content[edit | edit source]
Some of the following content is also available on the Old-gen console version. Most of it used to be available in the Mobile version as well, but was removed from there entirely with the 1.3 update.
Dragon armor
(as armor, not vanity)
Spectral armor (as armor, not vanity)
Titan armor (as armor, not vanity)
