Using items from inventory is for things like potions and the like.
You can use the "Swap to World" command while in inventory to play with the inventory open (X by default... so it would be: X open inventory, X swap to world and back, B to close inventory)... from that, you should be able to build/place doors, etc.

Well, I beat Journey Mode, I used God Mode to help me kinda sequence and skip a lot of stuff and beat the needed bosses with much weaker gear and i was playing wel below my normal standard but i did it though the Moon Lord does not want to cough up flipping Meowmere.

Unfortunately I am having performance issues on this version. Even after restarting the game (which did improve framerates), I find that I must set the lighting mode to 'Trippy' to be able to play comfortably. And even then, I would say that 1.3.5 is slightly better in this regard.

Also experienced choppy performance issues when loading up a pre-existing character + large world. It's consistently choppy for me (handheld felt worse, even). I tried all sorts of config changes and couldn't seem to improve it enough to avoid the performance degradation. I don't remember the experience being this bad in v1.3.5.Unfortunately I am having performance issues on this version.

I've seen some people say that starting a new world (not a new character) could help, as that was an approach that solved issues from a patch previously. A little unfortunate if true, but I guess I need to relearn things again anyway since I've been waiting for 1.4 to drop.

Maybe I'm just missing the option but is it possible to use the radial hotbar like on PC?

I’m just curious - I’ve been playing in journey mode to play around with the new controls and while doing the research/duplication I noticed I could only grab 99 campfires or 99 doors from the duplication menu. I was wondering if there is a way to grab only one or choose how many to grab. I obviously don’t need all of that. I’ve tried looking at my controls and pushing buttons, but can’t find what it may be.
So far I haven’t run into other issues

Does anyone want to play For The Worthy Master Mode on Switch with me? I don't have anyone to play with.Switch Terrarians, it is here at last... welcome to Journey's End!
Initially released in May 2020 for PC, Journey's End brings Terraria to the next level, to a place where the core game can finally be called "complete". From new ways to play the game, to over 1000 new items to find and craft, to new bosses to challenge, and even a full-pass review of all content of the game for balance, graphic quality, and mechanics - truly, Journey's End has something for everyone. 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.
This release will bring Switch up to an equivalent (content-wise) of the 1.4.0.5 version of Terraria. Now that all platforms have reached Journey's End, the team will be focusing on bringing Console/Mobile/Switch up to content parity with the current PC version (1.4.3)!
So, what awaits you in Journey's End? As you can imagine, this is a LOT to go over... so we are going to provide you with a topline summary along with links to the PC Changelogs and the Journey's End Review articles from the launch of 1.4. While some things may not match 1:1 (such as UI/control differences and some features will be different), we feel this is an easy way to get you familiar with the content that is here at your fingertips. We will cover off some differences where we can. Ready to map out your Journey? Read on, loyal traveler!

TERRARIA: JOURNEY'S END (1.4) SUMMARY
THERE & BACK AGAIN: A SUMMARY OF JOURNEY'S END
Terraria: Journey's End contains so much in the way of content and new features, that we felt it would be best to refer you over to the main Journey's End Changelog from the PC launch for the full details. To be clear, at this point, there are a couple of things that exist on PC and/or other Consoles that are NOT currently supported by Terraria: Journey's End on Nintendo Switch:
Texture Packs & Modding are not currently possible on Nintendo Switch. This is something the team will explore as we move forward - but we cannot currently make any promises one way or the other.
Splitscreen + Online (in combination) Multiplayer is not currently supported - this will be explored at a later update, as we did not want to delay the launch to chase the many edge case issues this specific situation creates.
Nintendo Switch can only support two player Splitscreen at this time
Nintendo Switch does not currently allow for local/Bluetooth multiplayer, the team will be looking into this in a future patch
Keyboard and Mouse controls are not currently supported on Switch
Crossplay is currently not supported for Terraria - this is a feature that the team plans to explore once all active platforms are at content parity. We cannot promise whether or not we will succeed in this effort nor what form it will take, but we will attempt to make it a reality.
That being said, let's dive into a few of the more cool/bigger features:
NEW CHANGES SPECIFIC TO SWITCH
A host of new settings and options, ranging from graphic quality to control profiles and much, much more!
Touch Controls are Back and Better than Ever!
Horizontal vs Vertical Splitscreen Toggle
Revised Gamepad mapping to account for the wide range of Journey's End controls - adjusted Defaults (Console Legacy/Red's Pick, Advanced, Simplified) as well!
UI Changes to account for Journey's End Features
UI Editor - Check out the video above for details!
Evolved versions of Dpad Hotbar and Dpad Snap
With this evolved version of these long-standing features, you can now do things that you could not do previously:
- Dpad Hotbar can now be mapped to 0-4 buttons. Previously, this was an all-or-nothing feature.
- Dpad Snap can now be mapped separately (LB+Dpad) in the video - so that players can now use Dpad Hotbar and Dpad Snap at the same time.
By Default in Classic controls, Dpad Snap is on and no Dpad Hotbar buttons are mapped, we leave this up to you, the player.
NEW CONTENT
Over 1000 new items (beyond 1.3.5), bringing the total item count to over 5000!
New Critters to find, Enemies to Battle, and two new Boss Encounters!
New minibiomes
Blood Moon and Lava Fishing are expanded
Brand new epic Terraria Music
and much, much more!
JOURNEY MODE
Journey Mode provides a more accessible Terraria experience by placing the power to create the gameplay you desire in the palm of your hands. Research blocks that you dig up, items that you find, and enemies that you defeat in order to gain the limitless power to duplicate or to adjust the difficulty of the game to your whims. At last, you can have the Terraria experience perfectly tailored to your desires... the only limit is your imagination!
With Great Power Comes Great Accessibility - Introducing Terraria's New Journey Mode
How will all of this work on Switch? Well this is where some of the new Switch UI changes come into play. Here are just a few examples:
Research & Duplication are located within Inventory on Switch - so you can Research, Duplicate, Craft, and Repeat all without leaving your Inventory Screen!
Control the Weather, Difficulty, Enemy Spawns... Godmode... and much more with your Journey Powers located in Settings!
MASTER MODE
A next-level challenge intended for those skilled, brave, or foolish enough to take it on, Master Mode represents the ultimate Terraria challenge. Unrelenting, Master Mode will punish your every mistake and force you to prepare and up your game like never before. Do you have what it takes to prove that you are a Master of Terraria?
GOLF
Time to hit the links in the world of Terraria! That's right, Journey's End brings the timeless game of golf to Terraria. Featuring an array of golf clubs, scorekeeping, and more, Terraria Golf introduces a whole new way to play. Create your own epic golf courses, share them with your friends, and then meet up on the links to challenge each other - who can hit the ball the longest, who has the best short game, and who has what it takes to make that clutch putt when it's all on the line?

BLOCK SWAP
One of the most impactful Quality of Life changes perhaps to ever reach Terraria, Block Swap is one of those features that you will find yourself asking "how did I ever live without this?!" in no time at all. No more will you have to tear down your constructions first in order to spruce them up with new-and-improved blocks or walls! Simply grab the block with which you wish to replace the existing blocks and place away - the new block will be put in place, and the old blocks will be there for you to pick up.
As long as your currently-equipped pick is powerful enough to dig up whatever it is you want to replace, Block Swap is there to serve you well!
Oh... and did we mention it works on chests... without you having to empty them first?
VOID VAULT
(Wait, your inventory is full? Where is all that pricey furniture going exactly?!?)
Inventory overflow... you hate it too? Well, we have got the solution for you!
What on the surface appears to simply be the fourth available character storage item - the Void Vault - transforms into an automagical inventory overflow vacuum when combined with the Void Bag held by the player. This combination of items will immediately whisk away any items the player picks up once their inventory is full - and deposit them safely at home in the Void Vault for safekeeping. This won't totally eliminate all of your inventory woes, but it will certainly cut down on those trips to and from home base!
GRAVEYARD BIOME
Beware! For when too many tombstones gather together, the air shall chill and the mists roll in... what mysteries will you find buried six feet deep in the Graveyard?
FULL REBALANCE PASS ON ENEMIES AND ITEMS
As a part of Journey's End, the team examined and re-examined the balance of the content in the game. From start to finish, no stone was left unturned and no gear left unaccounted for. In the end, what remains is a full rebalancing of the game from top to bottom. Stats have changed, functionality has changed. There is no better time to start a fresh playthrough and experience the new Terraria for the first time!
Read all about the Revisit and Rebalance via the Article below!

BESTIARY & ZOOLOGIST NPC
The world of Terraria is so chock-full of content, it can be hard to keep track of it all! Sure, the Guide has you covered for crafting recipes and the Terraria Wiki is fantastic - but don't you wish there was a way to know more about your foes? Where can I find the Lost Girl? How much health does a Derpling have? How many coins can I get from farming Jellyfish? Wonder no more, for the Terraria Bestiary is here!
As you defeat foes, you will learn more and more about them - key stats, locations, drop rates, background info and more!

EXPAND YOUR TERRARIA EMPIRE - PYLONS, TOWN BUILDING, AND NPC HAPPINESS
During Journey's End development, we conducted a focus group with all of the Terraria NPCs. Outside of some very strange requests (no, Guide, we cannot 'remove all doors at night'), their feedback was very clear: they are tired of being shoved into tiny cubicles or L shaped tubes and they want you to know this!
In order to help raise NPC morale so that they could be at their very best - and to reward players who go that extra mile to treat their NPCs with the respect they deserve, we are introducing the NPC Happiness System. How does it work? What does this mean for you? We have provided some details below, but you can check out our full Feature Article on the topic linked below as well!
Expand Your Terraria Empire - Pylons, Town Building, and NPC Happiness
Adding nice furniture and aesthetics doesn't directly affect NPC Happiness... but it sure will make you feel better about yourself when your friends come over for a visit.
What Happens if my NPCs are Happy/Unhappy?
How can I tell if my NPCs are Happy?
ROADS, WE WON'T NEED ROADS - INTRODUCING PYLONS
We briefly mentioned these mysterious Pylons in our section on things you can get with happy NPCs. So what are these, and why should you care? Well, if you have enough happy NPCs in a given biome, you will unlock the use of a Pylon for that biome. Pylons allow you to instantly teleport from one Pylon to another! With Pylons in place, your "big central base" now becomes an interconnected network of cool outposts all over the world, allowing you to get around quickly without the need to lay tracks or teleporters... and providing you a home away from home wherever you are!
PYLON INSTRUCTION MANUAL
You can only have one Pylon of a given biome type placed at a time (so you can not have, for example, an Ocean Pylon at both Oceans)
Pylons must be placed in their aligned biome in order to function (you can place them anywhere else, but they will not work!)
Pylons must also have two nearby (and living) NPCs in order to function - again, the idea here is to reward building those bases/towns!
Pylons cannot be used during Boss Battles or Invasion Events!
Pylons are quite easy to use. Once placed in their aligned biome, you simply click on a nearby pylon. This will take you to the map screen where you can locate another placed pylon to which you want to teleport, click it and off you go!
Journey's End has so much more to find and experience - we hope this very top-level summary has made you more familiar with some of the bigger features.

Loving the 1.4 update so far, started a new playthrough and everything, but theres one issue that I'm not sure if there's a solution for. When you pick up an item/accessory from a chest or just your inventory and place it in another items space, the two items/accessories switch places. Is there any way to turn off this feature? I prefer the old way where it'd just become the new item you held after you replaced another items spot.

IDK if you can disable it soooooooo... But don't trust me, there sure be a way

I can agree with that. Definitely a little annoying for me
Split Stack (ZL on Red's Pick), move the slider to choose how many, etc
Is this before or after restarting your game after first updating? There is some odd bug that is causing slowdown to occur right after the update but not after folks force close and restart the game.
I am not sure that I fully understand the situation here, so can I try to dive deeper?
Item A is located in a Chest (or other inventory slot)
You pick up Item A from that slot/chest
You move Item A to another slot, that is currently occupied by Item B
Dropping Item A into that slot causes Item A and Item B to swap positions
Is that accurate?
That... sorta seems like how it should work if so? So what am I missing?

For me, this happens even after restarting the game. Sure, it's not as bad as when you first play the update, but it's still choppy, especially when the graphical mode is set to Color.

yo I was fighting a pumpkin moon and than I died and my game said GodzillaBoss was removed from this world by zenith. wtf??!?!!?
Yeah - I mean, cannot promise that you will never get any choppiness or slowdown at all (depending on how much you are stressing the system) - any more than I could to a PC player on a lower end system, etc.
That said, optimizations will continue to squeeze as much out as possible.
