Official Be Water My Friends: 1.3 Liquid Mechanics Changes

[Cenx]

Good day Terrarians!

Coming with the 1.3 update, we are introducing brand new liquid mechanics that are more smooth and natural-looking than the previous "blocky" liquids in Terraria.This pair of videos show a "before and after" to showcase these fantastic changes!

The new water does not adversely affect performance nor will it result in the removal of the ever-popular "water duping" bug.

I asked the beta testers to make some fun builds showing off the new liquid changes. As their builds come to me I will be posting them here.

This is so beautiful, it inspired my following horrible Haiku:

Flowing so smoothly,
New Terrarian liquids.
"Water Cubes" no more!​

Very nice! I love it. Looks smooth as butter. Or should I say honey.

Wow! This is great! You guys are impressing us more and more with every bit you tell us!

You and the team, keep it up!

I wonder if this means that that water duping strange bug thingy doesn't exist any more.

Kind of annoying to dig a hellivator 1k feet underwater.

 

[Dudzy]

Great, the water was always kind of. Unrealistic. Much more natural

HI THIRD COMMENT

Get ninja'd my friend.

 

[Seb]

It looks so much smoother and faster, digging straight down and dealing with water seems like it'd be so much easier and faster.

 

[Dusty Sinclair]

Aw, nice! Water stopped being squares!

 

[theoceansunfish]

I have never in my three years of playing have seen something so beautiful

 

[Gotcha!]

Well, nothing else to say than: Niiiiiiiiiice. Looks lovely.

 

[MasterLuigi452]

But the water physics remains the same. Right?
Otherwise, nice visual improvement!

Ooooo. VERY Premium!
