It's back to school time for those of you still in school - and for everyone else, its the dog days of Summer as we look forward to cooler temperatures of what will hopefully be an amazing Fall season. One thing we know for certain is that the last few months of 2021 will see a lot of exciting happenings for Terraria! We have lots of juicy news across the board this month, so let's not waste any more time chatting!
PC - RE-LOGIC
STEAM WORKSHOP NEWS
Click the banner above to check out the Terraria Workshop!
The level of quality and quantity on the Terraria Steam Workshop just continues to climb - over 20,000 packs and worlds so far, which is just insane! If you have not checked out the Workshop yet, what are you waiting for?
TERRARIA WORKSHOP DEVELOPER'S CHOICE SELECTIONS
Our lineup of Developer's Choice picks this time are great in their simplicity and focus on specifics. They have a clear goal and accomplish it well - we hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Strange Pets and Summons by ヒナケイ
WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?
Game jams keep on jamming on! We finished up our first jam project and are off onto another very different experiment at this time. The entire process has been a lot of fun and immensely helpful towards exploring ideas, building skills, and improving on how we work together. All of these things will pay huge dividends down the road!
So, for now, we will have to just continue to ask for your patience and trust in our process as we continue our own journey towards whatever lies ahead.
TMODLOADER NEWS - TML TEAM
Hello everyone!
As we shared previously, the tModLoader 1.4 Alpha is out now - you can click the link below to find out more. Do keep in mind that this Alpha is primarily intended for developers as an audience - so play around with it at your own risk! :)
As always, you can keep track the current progress and such more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.)
Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)
PlayStation 4, XBOX ONE, Nintendo Switch - DR STUDIOS
XBOX & PLAYSTATION
Greetings, Terrarians! August 25th was yesterday, and what a day it was. Why, you ask? Well, yesterday we officially pressed the submission buttons for Terraria: Journey's End on PlayStation and Xbox! Now, we invite all of you to anxiously wait on Sony and Microsoft to complete their review process, after which we will be ready to turn this amazing update over to all of you!
We wish we could be more exact and give you a launch date. However, the review process is not all that predictable in terms of how long it takes, what might need to be addressed, etc. in each submission. Rest assured that when we hear something, we will let everyone know just as soon as we can.
This is the final stretch folks - thanks so much for your patience thus far!
STORIES FROM TESTVILLE
Performance checking with Pumpkin Moon? Child's Play! Let's add in a Destroyer!
Ok, sure... but now do it in Splitscreen (seriously, do not try this at home kids!)
NINTENDO SWITCH
Work is officially underway on bringing the awesomeness of Journey's End to Nintendo Switch. We do not have an exact time to give you just yet, but here's a screenshot of Zenith doing its thing on Switch! Once we get a bit deeper in, we will have an update on timing for you. Stay tuned!
MOBILE - DR STUDIOS
Hello everyone!
Hang in there, our Mobile friends - your time in the spotlight will come again soon enough. As you will see above, we are getting ever-closer to that console release, after which we will be entering the era of "Parity" where we are going to be pushing for a world where all Terrarians are on the same version.
We have also been made aware of some issues impacting some players in regards to Android 11. The team will be looking into this shortly, and we will get any needed fixes out just as soon as possible!
Thanks as always for the honor and trust you give us each month to work on Terraria - it is not a responsibility that we take lightly, and we look forward to bringing more amazing things to you all as we move forward.
COMMUNITY
Greetings Terrarians!
Here's the latest and greatest happenings on the Community side of things. Thanks as always for being the most engaged and awesome gaming Community ever!
TERRARIA MERCHANDISE STORE HUB
As we have brought on more and more amazing merchandise partners over the last two years, it became apparent to us that we would need some sort of centralized "hub" from which Terrarians could easily see and browse all that is available. We have been working on this behind the scenes, and we are happy to share that our first version of this is now available on https://terraria.org/store!
This will be your one-stop-shop where we will have all of the currently-active Terraria merchandise on display. If you see something that you like, simply click on the item and you will be whisked away to the storefront of whichever partner makes that particular product so that you can check out further details and complete your purchase.
Everything is laid out by category and easily navigated via the index and/or search. Please let us know any feedback that you might have so that we can make this experience the best that it can be!
We will be keeping this up to date and continuously adding to the offerings available here - so this is a page you will want to bookmark and check often!
TERRARIA MERCHANDISE UPDATES
We still have a handful of partnerships and products that remain under wraps, but that we will be revealing just as soon as the time is right - our plan is to have a LOT more out for the holidays. That said, what better time than the State of the Game to check in on news from our existing partners as well as to shine a light on some other things that are in the works?
SKYLAND ARTS LIMITED EDITION TERRARIA FIGURES - SERIES 1A PREORDERS UNDERWAY!
Our partners at Skyland Arts have at long last rolled out preorders for the first wave of Terraria Collectible Figures. Three figures are included in this first set: Dryad, Shadow Armor, and Eye of Cthulhu (with removable iris, to expose its second phase). Skyland does not have its own digital storefront, so they have decided to utilize Kickstarter as their preorder method. The up-front expenses have been paid, the tooling of the steel production molds has already begun, and the factory is ready to produce the figures. This pre-order campaign helps Skyland to judge how many of each figure to produce and ensures that every Terrarian gets the one that they want most!
To check out the purchase options and to place your order, click the link below or the figure images above to head on over to the Kickstarter page!
Prototype Painting is done and the run-up to preorders for this premium high-end collector's piece is about to begin! You will want to keep an eye on the page linked below for the latest and greatest on this limited edition set!

TCT HELPING COMMUNITIES
We are excited to announce that we are expanding the TCT to help many Discord communities and it will be referred to as "The Community Team" going forward. The TCT will still function in the same capacity within the Terraria community, but now all partnered and verified servers will be allowed to apply to join the TCT as an Affiliated community.
Affiliated communities are required to promote the TCT to their servers as their community management recruitment and training platform. Our goal is to provide a platform where anyone can learn how to help communities and what opportunities are available.
TCT will launch with the following Teams:
1) Art Team: Create art, emotes, memes, stickers, and gifs for communities that can be used for sharing, banners, social media, and events. 2) Development Team: Create and manage Discord bots and other development projects. 3) Event Team: Create and manage community events, create custom builds for sandbox games that can be used for parkour, pvp, and other community functions, suggest community events, and receive notification whenever there is an Affiliated community event. 4) Localization Team: Translate community content into multiple languages and help manage non-English social communities. 5) Moderator Team: Discuss community moderation, share moderation strategies, assist Affiliated communities with their server moderation. 6) Partnership Team: Recruit new Affiliated communities to join the TCT and evaluate communities looking to join the TCT. 7) Quality Assurance Team: Receive notification whenever their is a new game Beta application, report game bugs, and make game suggestions to community officials. 8) Stream & Video Team: Make video content for communities or stream for communities. 9) Trivia Team: Help make and review general Trivia questions that are used by communities in activities. 10) Writing Team: Create editorials for servers to share with their communities and the media.
Registration is now open for partnered and verified servers to join the TCT as an Affiliated community! You must be at least a moderator or admin for a server to apply to have the server join the TCT as an Affiliated community. To apply to become an Affiliated community please message @TCT Mod Mail and include the perma server link, your role in the server, and a brief explanation why you would like the server to join the TCT as an Affiliated community. There will be an interview process for partnered and verified servers to become an Affiliated community.
We look forward to helping many communities become as great as possible.
Until next time, Terrarians - we hope you have an amazing month, and we look forward to bringing you the latest and greatest next time!
We wanted to share the awesome news that the first three Collectible Terraria figures that we have teased in past State of the Game posts are now available for preorder! These amazing pieces were developed by our partners at Skyland Arts, and are the first in what we hope will be several waves of figures that Terraria fans will love to get their hands on!
Skyland does not have its own digital storefront, so they have decided to utilize Kickstarter as their preorder method. The up-front expenses have been paid, the tooling of the steel production molds has already begun, and the factory is ready to produce the figures. This pre-order campaign helps Skyland to judge how many of each figure to produce and ensures that every Terrarian gets the one that they want most!
Without further ado, let's check out the lineup for this first wave of Terraria figures!
The Iconic Dryad
Shadow Armor & Light's Bane
The ominous Eye of Cthulhu - with removeable lens to reveal its toothy grin
Again, these will be available for preorder on the Kickstarter page below for the next month or so. While these figures may appear at a later date at retailers, the only way to ensure that you get your hands on the figure(s) that you want is to get your preorder in now!
June has flown by, and here we are in the heat of July - and as we promised, we wanted to share more of the goings-on in the Terraria Community. Summer sale has come and gone as well, and we know there are new Terrarians out there itching to jump right in... so let's get right to it!
Again, we will continue to check in periodically with fun events and happenings throughout the community, so you will definitely want to stay tuned! Of course, if you are looking for a more holistic view into the ins-and-outs of the dev teams and more, you should check out our monthly State of the Game posts over on Terraria Community Forums (June's linked below):

Can you believe it, Terrarians? The game that we all know and love so much is about to reach its tenth birthday! No doubt, it has been a long and amazing journey that we have enjoyed taking with you - one full of twists and turns, ups and downs, and more than a few surprises along the way. Even crazier is that Terraria is stronger than ever as it heads into its second decade - with no end in sight!
We could not do it or be here without the amazing and passionate support of each and every one of you - so we want to formally invite you to join in on the Terraria Tenth Anniversary Celebration! What all do we have in store?
Check out the current slate of events below - and you will want to keep an eye on this page as we may have another surprise or two in store, you never know....
Happy Birthday, Terraria and Terrarians! Today, the game we all know and love so much turns 10 years old. It has been a great time to look back and reflect on the past as well as look forward to what the future might hold. We hope that everyone has been able to participate in our "Pre-Anniversary" Contests thus far... and is looking forward to what today and the rest of the celebration holds. We did promise a few surprises along the way did we not? Let's dive in and open up this first birthday present...
TERRARIA 1.4.2.3 LAUNCHES TODAY!
That's right, Terrarians - the dev team put together their very own birthday gift from us to all of you. Now, this update may not contain any new content (we were serious when we said 1.4.2 was it ;) ) - it does contain a very special celebratory world seed that is unlike any other that we have made previously. Oh, and we did toss in a few neat bug fixes for you while we were at it...
To access this special new World Seed, you will need to figure out its name and enter that into the World Seed field on the World Creation Menu. What is the name of the seed? What surprises await you inside? Well, that is for you to uncover...
TERRARIA 1.4.2.3 CHANGELOG
Added Celebratory Seed
Corrected the damage on Frost Armor's set bonus debuff from 20 to 25 DPS.
Fixed Vulkan and Metal rendering issues that lead to crash, on FNA builds.
Fixed a certain exploit.
Fixed missing tooltip in Queen Slime's treasure bag.
Fixed every vine type except Normal/Flower vines from passing on paint as they grow longer.
Fixed King Slime's spiked minions being able to pick up money and despawn with it, similar to Queen Slime's minions previously.
NOTE: Terraria 1.4.2.3 requires a new dedicated server version for those that use it, linked below:
From May 13th until May 17th, Terraria is half off on Steam! If you have been waiting all this time to try out this amazing 2D sandbox adventure, there is no better time than now. Become a part of the second decade of Terraria... or even bring along a friend or four.
Head on over to our Steam Store Page to pick up - or gift - a copy today!
Of course, you knew we couldn't resist playing an active role in this celebration! The entire Re-Logic team will be conducting an AMA on the r/Terraria Subreddit on May 17th, beginning at 10am Pacific Time. We will do our very best to have as many team members as possible answer each and every question (or at least the ones we have an answer for...). You will NOT want to miss out on this chance to ask the burning questions for the team.
(When the event is live, the text above will be a link to the thread on Reddit)
On top of that, be on the lookout for Re-Logic team members hanging out in Discord in the Terraria-Chat channel over the next couple of weeks - we have encouraged everyone on the team to take some time out (as they can) to actively hang out and enjoy the festivities! The link to our Discord Server is below!
Incredible to think that it has been 10 years since we set that initial version of Terraria out into the world. From humble beginnings to selling 35 Million copies across all platforms - it all started with a dream and some imagination.
Now it’s your turn to infuse Terraria with your own imagination. In honor of Terraria’s tenth anniversary, we’re having a contest where you get to show off your own creativity and how you envision Terraria. There are categories for all Terrarians, whether you play on PC, Console, Mobile, or even our new Stadia players.
We have a category for Steam Workshop Maps and Texture Packs, a category for Art, a category for Screenshots featuring in-game builds, and even a category for Other - anything that doesn't fit into the first three categories. You can choose to enter any category you'd like, so get your ideas ready, join us to celebrate, and dive in!
At last, Terrarians, we can reveal the entire AMAZING Tenth Anniversary Art Piece by Bohrokki to you all. Celebrating the multitude of armors and weapons from across the world of Terraria - and the seemingly endless ways to play - this piece reflects upon the community gathering together as much as it does the game itself. We are thrilled to be able to share this fitting work of art with each and every one of you out there. You inspire us to great things.
You will see a nice digital version below for now... and we are working with a handful of merchandise partners to try and bring a variety of printable options your way very soon - from the easy to the fancy/high end. Stay tuned for more on that front!
Greetings, Terrarians... and happy Terraria 1.4.2/Steam Workshop Support launch day!
That's right - at long last, we are able to provide an easy-to-use system and location for Terrarians everywhere to showcase their creative energies in all new ways. Starting today, everyone will be able to create, upload, share, download, and play a variety of types of game modifications within the vanilla Terraria game. Let's break down the new toys at your disposal!
NEW WAYS TO MODIFY THE CORE TERRARIA EXPERIENCE
WORLD UPLOADS
Have a really cool map that you want to share? The best Terraria golf course ever? Maybe an epic adventure map that would blow peoples' minds? This is your chance to share it with the world!
RESOURCE PACKS
Change how Terraria looks, sounds, and reads with custom Packs that can alter various aspects of the game. Resource Packs and alter one, two, or all three of the content types below:
Texture Packs
What if the Zenith were a giant banana? That doesn't sound too apeeling to us, but maybe its your thing - this is your chance to change up one, two, or maybe even all of the sprites in Terraria!
Music Packs
Want to change things up with the in-game soundtrack? Import your custom tunes via this very cool-sounding feature.
Language Packs
Feel like you could make a better translation - or a new one? Want to write your own custom dialogue for the NPCs? This is your lucky day!
Of course, if you want to take your modifications even further, impacting the core gameplay itself, you can take Terraria modding to the next level with the already-available tModLoader:
NOTE: TMODLOADER IS STILL RUNNING ON THE 1.3.5 VERSION OF TERRARIA. THE TML TEAM IS HARD AT WORK GETTING TMODLOADER UP TO THE 1.4 ERA. STAY TUNED FOR MORE ON THAT IN THE FUTURE!
In order to help everyone learn how all of this works - both content users and content creators alike - our very own Leinfors hand-crafted the guide linked above. This is very comprehensive, covering every topic you could think of around how to get around and use these new features - both for Steam workshop and for our non-Steam players. We highly recommend that you check this out before getting started. This will always be linked at the top of our Steam Workshop Home Page as well via the "Learn More" Button.
These features are available to all PC Terrarians - whether you are on Steam or not - however, alongside these new toys comes Steam Workshop support for Terraria, giving players a place to showcase any amazing maps or Resource Packs that they have created for Terrarians everywhere to download and enjoy! Let's learn more, shall we?
STEAM WORKSHOP SUPPORT
That's right folks, we are embracing the wonders of Steam Workshop with this update in order to make Worlds and Resource Packs as accessible as possible to everyone. From within Terraria, you will be able to upload your creations to Workshop in order to share with other Terrarians everywhere!
Once a World or Resource Pack is uploaded to Terraria's Workshop, it will be there for other players to discover, subscribe to, and enjoy! Beyond that, using Workshop allows you to create and foster your own little community where you can discuss your creations and how they might be improved over time. Features available on your Workshop page for each content item that you have uploaded include, but are not limited to:
A description page, which can be updated with a full description of your choosing
A dedicated discussion forum for your content
A comments page
A changelog page for updates you've made
A variety of metrics and rating system information for Workshop files
An option to change the name of the content (it uses the file name of the uploaded item by default)
Options to attach additional screenshots or even videos to demonstrate your content in action
A visibility toggle (the same as the visibility option you set when publishing)
Check out the new Terraria Steam Workshop by clicking the banner above - or by clicking the link below!
In addition, you can now easily find the Workshop any time you want by heading to the Terraria page in your Steam Library, clicking on Community Hub, and then clicking on "Workshop" in the top menu within the Hub.
DEVELOPER'S CHOICE
The Re-Logic team is celebrating this release by putting out a couple of Texture Packs created by our own artists, Jimmarn and Lazure. You can find these located in the "Developer's Choice" section of the workshop, which is a special curated part of the Workshop where the Re-Logic team will be hand-picking Worlds and Resource Packs that we feel are the best of the best over time and tagging them with the Developer's Choice flag, placing them in this special section.
This is definitely an honor that we hope that everyone will strive for - and we cannot wait to see what you all will create!
STEAM WORKSHOP - GETTING AROUND
Let's take a few moments to show you around the new Workshop - and then we will close with a very comprehensive Guide to all things Terraria Workshop written by our very own @Leinfors!
HOME PAGE
This is what it sounds like - the landing page for the Terraria Steam Workshop. You will find a few sections of interest here:
Top Bar navigation allows you to quickly move between Home Page - Items - Collections - Favorites/Subscribed Items - Discussions about Workshop
Below that, you will see two featured sections - one based on the most popular (most downloaded/rated) items and then another that is tied to the Developer's Choice section we mentioned above.
Right Sidebar (top) allows you to see your Workshop Files (content you have personally uploaded) as well as the most popular/top rated/most recent content
Right Sidebar (bottom) allows you to Browse all of the Terraria Workshop content via key terms/tags to help narrow your search. Note that on the home page, you can only select one tag, but on the Browse and other pages, you can select as many as you want to narrow down your search!
At the very bottom, you will see three tabbed lists for Most Popular, Most Subscribed, and Most Recent
BROWSE PAGE
The Browse Page allows for you to do what it says... browse the available content items in the Terraria Workshop. Each listing is displayed in a grid complete with the name of the content, the author, and an average user rating (1-5 Stars). You can also check out your favorites list... your friends' favorites/content... and even follow your favorite content creators.
As mentioned on the homepage, you will see the list of tags on the right side so that you can narrow down your search. We will be listening to community suggestions to improve this starter list over time as well.
Once you find and click on something that you might be interested in, you will be whisked away to the...
WORKSHOP CONTENT PAGE
Once again, this is precisely what it sounds like - the place where you can find out all there is to know about a specific piece of content prior to downloading.
Most of what is here is pretty self-explanatory. However, let's run it down:
Image pane shows the feature image the creator chose as well as any other screenshots, etc.
Upper right shows the file size as well as creation date and any updates. You can also view any changelogs the author has shared here.
Below the image pane, you can give the content a thumbs up/down, favorite/share, award it (Steam Points), add to a collection, or report it (the little Flag icon)
Please familiarize yourself with the rules of what is and is not acceptable on Steam workshop
Vulgar, offensive, etc. content will be removed. As will any reported content that violates any legal issues/copyrights/etc.
Finally, we have the big green SUBSCRIBE button. Clicking this will allow you to download the content as well as sign you up for any future updates to this content.
Down below, you can leave comments on the content and interact with the author/creator.
Lots to go over there, to be sure - but those are the basics. There is really so much to know and learn here about how to create and use Workshop content on Terraria, we highly recommend that you check out Leinfors ' Guide linked below.
Other than the new customization features and Workshop support, we did have the time to squash a few more bugs within the core Terraria experience. That comprehensive list is shared below. Hopefully your "favorite" bug is there and will no longer haunt you. As always, if you run into any issues, please report them via the link below!
Other New Features
Added Steam Workshop Integration to Terraria, allowing the downloading and sharing of World Files and Resource Packs
Expanded Resource Pack Functionality to include Language Replacement and Music Replacement
Added a button to the Research and Bestiary Menus that lets you delete all current search text
Enemy Banners now also give increased player protection against enemy projectiles (previously they only applied to contact damage)
Added an option to change the name of characters and worlds

Fixed an issue where Pupfish were sometimes spawning in the Ocean
Fixed an issue where Wand of Sparking's projectile was using Melee damage modifiers, not Magic
Fixed a rare issue where the game could freeze if it was literally impossible to spawn a meteorite
Fixed an issue where Wasp Gun had a tooltip that just said "Wasp Gun"
Fixed an issue where players who died, or Hardcore player ghosts, would interfere with Player Logic Sensors
Fixed an issue where Star Cannon's projectile could not land critical hits, and wouldn't always receive proper stat bonuses from player equipment
Fixed an issue where Star Cannon's projectile could not be fired through platforms
Fixed a certain duplication exploit
Fixed an issue where Spikes would not hurt the player from some angles at certain elevations
Fixed an issue where World Globe would skip some forest backgrounds
Fixed an issue where Amphibian Boots stacked with other Frog Leg variants, even though Frog Leg variants do not otherwise stack
You did it everyone! Terraria is officially a Nominee for the 2020 Labor of Love Steam Award! On behalf of the entire Re-Logic development team, a sincere thank you to each and every Terrarian out there for your support.
Now we need your help to finish making this a reality by getting your votes in now for Terraria to win the 2020 Labor of Love Award!
2020 has brought a lot of insanity to all of us - but also one constant, and that is Terraria being in our gaming lives and releasing more amazing content.
10 years, from 250 items to over 5000. Never a microtransaction. Never a paid DLC. If any game defines the "Labor of Love", it is Terraria. This is it, friends, let's make it happen - Terraria = your Labor of Love winner for the 2020 Steam Awards.
Netting a win here would honestly mean a lot for the Re-Logic team and would be the perfect way to cap off what truly and fully has been our Labor of Love for nearly 10 years now. Terraria is not just a game to us, it is family.
So, once again, we earnestly ask for your support, your votes, and for your help in getting the word out to everyone you can think of to head on over and vote for Terraria!
To vote for Terraria, just head to the Steam Awards Voting Page (or just click the big VOTE button in the banner at the top of the page), find Labor of Love, pick Terraria and let's go!

Greetings, Terrarians! Terraria 1.4.1 releases today for our PC players!
Welcome to launch day for Terraria 1.4.1 on PC! As we have alluded to in previous news items and spoilers around this update, Terraria 1.4.1 is primarily focused on adding in pieces that were not quite ready in time for the Journey's End launch date - along with more fixes, balance tweaks, and a few new tidbits that we decided to add along the way. Located below, you will find the full changelog for Terraria 1.4.1
So, what all does Terraria 1.4.1 contain? Here are some of the bigger topline tidbits of note - but again, refer to the full changelog for a more complete accounting of things.
VANITY CONTEST WINNER SETS
As promised, we have added the winning Vanity Sets from the Journey's End Vanity Design Contest! These turned out really well, and we are beyond excited to see these in game. Be sure to once again congratulate the winners and thank them for making such awesome designs possible!
- Plaguebringer - Wandering Ronin - The Timeless Traveler - Floret Protector - Capricorn - Bonus winner: TV Head!
All six of these are craftable with pre-Hardmode materials of various sorts, so that all players can experience these awesome vanity sets! Thanks to everyone who participated and voted in the Vanity contest, and especially to our winners!
CREDITS
Who made all of this anyway? At long last, Terraria on PC has it's own credits! Upon defeating the Moon Lord for the first time, be sure to stay tuned for an awesome throwback credit sequence, including an exclusive never-before-heard music track! Want to see it again? You can access the Credits from the main menu at any time.
The Music Box (Journey's End) is now created by recording the Credits music sequence. Additionally, using it in a normal accessory slot will play the Credits sequence in-game, while using it in a social slot will only play the music.
NEW NPC - THE PRINCESS
How will you discover and unlock this regal companion? What does she do? You will have to explore and find out on your own!
NEW ACHIEVEMENTS
Who doesn't like Achievements, right? Updated for the Journey's End era, we have included a handful of new goals for you to chase down!
NEW ITEMS
We have included a handful of new items - with several focused on filling out the early/pre-hardmode Summoner options. We are personally fans of the new Flinx-based Summoner gear.
VANITY OVERHAUL
Vanity Overhaul? What exactly do we mean here? Well - the way armors and vanity sets used to work was a bit limiting, particularly in regards to the way "back" items worked. So, we made it better! For just one example: why pick between showing Wings or a Cape, for example, when you can have both!
Armors and vanity items which draw on the back (backpacks, tails, wings, and capes) are now no longer mutually exclusive. This means that you can now have one of any of those four categories all displaying at the same time. Previously, only one of those could ever be visible at a time (for instance, if you had visible wings, you could not ever see a cape, backpack, or tail).
Here is a visual explaining what we mean:
Prior to Terraria 1.4.1: The use of visible wings prevented capes from being visible, while the use of capes prevented shields from being visible.
In 1.4.1, these elements no longer conflict with each other, and can be used together in various combinations
There are even more overhauls to the vanity system to explore, so be sure to check out the full changelog for all the juicy details!
QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES
Beyond Bug Fixes, we always want to try and enhance the user experience as much as possible. Here are just a few of the ways we have explored doing so in Terraria 1.4.1:
The Journey Mode duplication menu has been overhauled, with the addition of several new filters to break up some of the larger categories
Additionally, the Misc option in the duplication menu should more properly encompass items that do not fall under any other category
Torch God now plays an Otherworldly track when that setting is toggled
Bestiary now indicates if a drop is Wave-based/if it only drops after a certain wave in Frost Moon and Pumpkin Moon
Plantero's Sombrero has made its triumphant return
Reorganized menu settings for resolution/fullscreen/windowed borderless to all use the same sub-menu, to reduce confusion
Updated FNA (Mac/Linux related)
RGB support is now available for SteelSeries game peripherals
Updated localization for all languages up to 1.4 (some 1.4.1 content may still be untranslated, and these translations will come in an upcoming hotfix)
BALANCE CHANGES
As you likely are aware, Terraria: Journey's End contained a ton of changes to balance across the entire progression of the game. As with any changes of this nature, everyone had thoughts and feedback. We invited everyone to weigh in on this robust discussion in our Official Balance/Feedback Thread on Terraria Community Forums - and you did not disappoint! With that feedback in hand - along with our own post-launch thoughts - we have made even more balance changes that we hope will bring things ever-closer to feeling "just right" for most folks. A little bit of everything has been impacted here, so we really encourage you to read up before you are surprised! :)
What update would be complete without a laundry list of Bug Fixes? There are far too many to list here - if you want to check out the full list, click on the link below:
TERRARIA OFFICIAL SOUNDTRACK - JOURNEY'S END TRACKS ADDED!
Alongside Terraria 1.4.1, we have updated the Terraria Official Soundtrack with all of the Journey's End tracks - and some older favorites! There has never been a better time to pick up this collection of amazing tunes! The full OST is now updated on Steam, and all of the new tracks will be available on Spotify/iTunes/etc. in the very near future!
Of course, if you get or are addicted to the alternate tunes on the 05162020 World Seed, be sure to check out the Terraria: Otherworld Official Soundtrack as well!
That's Terraria 1.4.1 in a nutshell! To check out the full changelog and to participate in the discussion around the update, learn how best to report any bugs, etc. please check out our official Terraria 1.4.1 Launch Thread, linked below!

We cannot wait to see your reactions as you dive in to all that this update has to offer, and we hope that you thoroughly enjoy our gift to you. It has been an amazing journey indeed... but we truly feel that this end is really just a new beginning for the amazing world of Terraria.

As a reminder, Mac/Linux optimizations, additional Localization, and the Vanity Contest winners will be added in a post-launch update.
