Recently, I have been playing Terraria with a few people who are completely new to the game.
Because of this, I'm noticing little things that you would really only pay attention to the first time you play.

Item Tooltips.

A lot of items, especially the important early ones, don't have a tooltip or lack a tooltip which tells you what they do.
So I think a lot of new tooltips should be added.
This would certainly help new players, as they wouldn't have to look at the wiki in order to know what an item does.

Here are a few suggestions:

Grappling Hooks

Release a hook to the cursors location
Press "E" to use
- Or whatever hotkey you set it as

Gel

Can be used to make torches

All types of Minecart Track

All Dressers

Empty Bucket

All types of coins

Used to buy items from NPCs

Bug Net

Use near a creature to catch it


That's all I can think up for now, but feel free to suggest any other tooltips that should be added and I will list it up with the rest.
There should be no problem in adding a bit more information for beginners, and more tooltips should be quite easy to implement into the game.

Support. Poor newbie support is practically inexcusable. My first time playing Terraria ended with me flailing around in the darkness, getting repeatedly murdered by things I couldn't see. Followed by ragequit.
