Minecraft or Terraria: which do you think is harder?

[Guard2175]

(To the mods: I wasn't sure if I should put this in General Terraria Talk or the Non-Terraria Stuff, so please do move it if it's accidentally in the wrong section)

I find Minecraft do be harder, and I am being dead serious. Everyone seems to find Terraria to be a much more challenging game yet I don't.

In Terraria, I've beaten the game (twice) for a start, and I could probably do it on expert too if it wasn't for getting bored of grinding for the bosses. Meanwhile in Minecraft, I have yet to obtain a piece of diamond armour, or acquire a single blaze rod.

I have no clue why this is. Do you guys have any ideas?

From the very start, minecraft.
Paying 30 euros for a piece of code that you don't even own is one of the toughest challenges man will face.

Minecraft is very expensive and doesn't have the convenience of being on steam. Adds a very high amount of difficulty in the pre game section.

Well, it is more expensive than Terraria but hey, at least it's not $90 (cough cough Nintendo). Not being able to just get it on Steam definitely makes it a bit harder to initially get on PC though, so yeah, I agree.

A lot of minecraft mobs are invalidated by blocks even more than terraria's are. That being said, this isn't an easy question to answer, because I'd consider minecraft harder than terraria in Classic difficulty but easier than terraria in Expert. Minecraft's hard mode isn't quite different enough to change that.


It's also a much more directionless and intentionally freeform game with fewer concrete goals, so I feel like assigning a difficulty to it is missing the point. The game was never supposed to JUST be about killing the ender dragon. If your only main goal is that though, then the thing of "harder than classic, easier than expert" applies.

Minecraft is way harder for me, years of playing on easy mode and I struggle to even beat basic mobs like zombies. I'd rather play master mode gfb than navigate the nether on easy.
And if needing to look stuff up to progress in terraria was bad (which it is), it's SO MUCH WORSE in minecraft. I don't like looking stuff up but turns out if you don't look up a guide for every single damn feature in the game then you're pretty much hopeless.

Now that I think about it, the game would probably be less intuitive than Terraria if it wasn't for its shear popularity.

I haven't beaten Minecraft once, so that.

Minecraft solely because of the Mediumcore
If Terraria defaulted to that then it might be Terraria, but even then Terraria is usually better with it as you’re more likely to just pick up some random stuff in that than MC.

You can turn on Keep Inventory, but that is cheating (imo) so I don't know.

In terms of my wallet and accessibility? M*******t, no question.
In terms of game difficulty? Easily terraria, I picked up the "two week M*******t phase" recently, it's only been a week and I beat the dragon and got elytra.
with terraria, building is still a highly viable option while being more difficult overall.

M*******t,

why censor Minecraft?
