Changes: Parallax

Revision as of 12:42, 9 May 2021

PC/Console/Mobile-Only Content: This information applies only to the PC, Console, and Mobile versions of Terraria.

Parallax is an option which controls how much the biome background scrolls relative to the foreground.

A video demonstrating the effects of Parallax (first low, then high).

Settings of 0–100 (inclusive) are available.

A setting of 0 (default) will have the background (which consists of sky, walls, etc.) scroll with the foreground (what the player walks on and bumps into etc.).
A setting of 100 will scroll the background tiles at a high speed compared to walking just a little to the left or right.

Tips

This effect is most noticeable Underground where the dirt backgrounds can be seen scrolling when the player moves and has Parallax set high.
