Is Minecraft Steve or the Terraria Player stronger? I have the answer.

Steve has a lot of accomplishments.
  • He is the main character of the biggest, most popular indie game ever made.
  • His gameplay style created an entire genre of other games (a mostly original idea).
  • He made it into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
  • He's the only guest character in Smash that broke Twitter (not even Sora did this).
Terraria/ Player is a bit more ambiguous, but still has some great accomplishments.
  • Terraria has one of the largest, most complex, gameplay guides and index in the world.
  • Is one of the most customizable, player-friendly games on the market.
  • Is one of the most community-content supportive/ supported games on the market (mods, texture packs, music etc.).
  • Consistently remains as one of the top 25 most-played games on Steam.
  • Is right up there with games like Skyrim, as far as developer/ community support is concerned.
At some point, these two games took completely different paths. The Player Character in Terraria isn't really a Mascot, that'd probably be a role more for The Guide. Minecraft Steve isn't even really the Mascot for indie games either, because he's now gone corporate. It's a lot of interesting things happening between these two I.P.s that place them in different stratospheres IMHO.

That being the case, I can only use what actually happens in each universe to measure "power level", if we are comparing each protagonist's strength, but at the end of the day, it's all just a popularity contest.

That said, I'd have to agree that Minecraft Steve wins, but only because of his Smash Bros. debut. A good number of the Characters from the Nintendo Universe have faced World Ending Events and emerged victorious (just like the Terraria Player); Minecraft Steve is fighting Heroes on that kind of level. Still, the Player Character from Terraria is pretty darn powerful too, and likely has the hardest game out of any Character in the Smash Bros. Roster, especially with how customizable the Worlds/ Seeds in Terraria are.

Steve just has too much star power though, and would likely have power-ups from different Minecraft Games, and now sits up on a throne with the likes of Mario, Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny; Plot Armor is the strongest armor there is, unfortunately. 😏 🤷‍♂️
 
I’ve noticed there’s been a significant focus on arm/carrying strength, so I would like to point out leg strength this time. Steve can jump 1 block high and starts taking fall damage at around 4 blocks, while the Terrarian jumps a whopping 7 blocks high and starts taking fall damage at 20 blocks. This is much easier to figure out than the others so we at least now know that the Terrarian has stronger legs :D
 
Terraria has a much bigger aresenal. He has WAY more items and is much faster. In a fist fight minecraftian would win but in a fight all he has is diamond armor sword and bow. Terrarian is legendarily op
Zenith vs Diamond Sword is pathetic
 
Terraria player has a lot of mystery and assumptions while Steve has a lot of verified accomplishments, so it's unfair :P
 
There's nothing left over when you exchange 100 pennies for a dollar. It's safer to assume something sensible, like the player exchanging money.

Apart from that, though, what you did is just completely absurd. You compared the mass of a crapload of copper coins to the mass of... what, exactly? Gold? Diamond? You didn't say. I'm gonna assume it's gold, since you mentioned gold armor. So, you compared copper to gold. Completely valid comparison. Or did you use copper? Because Minecraft doesn't have copper. Your calculations are based on an assumption that nobody makes except you, you're comparing two different metals, and seriously, who says that the number of slots is the maximum carrying capacity of your character? I can lift a chair, but it wouldn't fit in a backpack.
As of 1.17, Minecraft has copper.

Well, let's see.

A block is 2ft^3. So, we can then compare the size of a coin to the size of a block.

Wow. Coins are pretty big.

If a block is 8 "pixels" (terrarian pixels are actually 2x2) across and is 2 feet wide, and a coin is 7 pixels across, then a coin is 1.75 feet wide. Coins are 8 pixels tall, so they are 2 feet tall. Those are some REALLY big coins.

For our purposes, we'll assume terrarian coins have the same length:thickness ratio as an American Quarter Dollar. This makes a terrarian coin 0.068435754189944 feet thick.

Doing some math to find the volume of the coin, and we find it has a volume of 0.153980446927374ft^3. This is 4360.2407cm^3.

Now, we use the density of copper, 8.933 grams per cubic centimeter, to find just how much a terrarian copper coin weighs.

It's 38950.0301731 grams. That's a pretty heavy coin.

Now, there are 1,000,000 copper coins in a platinum coin, which stack up to 999. The player has 59 inventory slots, including the main inventory (50), coins (4), ammo (4), and trash (1). Coins can fit into all of these. We'll add one more slot, putting it up to 60, since a player can have an item held by their cursor, as well as a full inventory.

So, let's do the math.

1,000,000 (number of copper coins in a platinum coin) x 999 (number of platinum coins per stack) x 60 (number of stacks of 999 platinum coins the player can hold) x 38950.0301731 (weight of a single terrarian copper coin) gives us the mass of all those coins to be...

2,334,664,808,575,614 grams! That's a lot of mass!

Unfortunately, that makes The Player significantly weaker than Steve, who can lift

*ahem*

Kilograms.

And that's just a single block. Multiply that by 64 (max stack size) and inventory size (27 slots + 9 hotbar slots + 4 inventory crafting slots + one cursor carry, so 41 slots total), and add the mass of a full set of golden armor (51,520 KG), and you get...

Conclusion? The Player needs to hit the gym if he wants to get even close to Steve's level.
He can :red:ing carry stars.
 
59940. When trying to find out multiples of 999, you just multiply the number by 1000 then substract the number (60 in this case) from the result.
Thanks for the math tip, very cool👍
 
The terraria character basically has the power of a minor deity, and the minecraft character is just unbelievably buff and able to carry an inhuman amount of things

I agree
 
being able to carry 9999 chunks of iron to being able to carry 64... Hmmm...
 
The Terrarian can hold Nebula Fragments, which have the power of a galaxy in each one of them, and without piggy banks, safes, or other extra storage, they can hold 499,950 nebula fragments, and assuming the power of a galaxy also counts the weight, I can't even comprehend what the Terrarian can carry
