You may be wondering; “What is Super Terraria World?”. Super Terraria World (STW) is a standalone (ie, non-tModLoader) massively-multiplayer online role-playing overhaul mod. The primary goal being to bring a classic MMORPG experience to the masterpiece that is Terraria.
Official Trailer:
A Link Between Worlds:
Super Terraria World encompasses a physical area far beyond the current limitations of Terraria world sizes through a new feature that connects multiple world files together. By walking to the edge of a map, jumping on a boat, or entering a doorway, you can be moved smoothly from one world to another. As STW grows, you will eventually be able to head in one direction, and through world transitions, come full circle, ending right where you started!
More on Super Terraria World:
STW brings you a different take on the Terraria you know and love. The most prominent change is that the majority of the world is static, meaning players will not be able to build or destroy tiles in most locations. There are of course some exceptions, as certain quests will ask you to place objects in specified areas, or clear out collapsed pathways, for example. However, we do not wish to to hinder anybody’s creativity and are aware the importance of building in Terraria. Eventually you will be given special plots; small, private worlds where you will be able to build, host friends and generally hang out!
STW maps are designed for exploration. Even though you will not be able to dig, there will still be expansive dungeons and areas to explore. We wish to reward exploration. To that end, we are currently developing a reward system for chests. To add even more depth to exploration, we have designed a feature which allows you to enter background rooms. Ever wondered what was inside a beautiful background-only build? Well now you can find out! Simply by pressing up (or in some cases, such as elevators, pressing down), you will be moved to a new area.
In addition to our changes to exploration, we have also altered how lighting works. Your characters will now emit a dim, passive source of light. This is to help exploration of unlit areas. If the passive light is not enough, you will still be able to use light sources, such as torches. However, torches will eventually burn out and vanish. Alternately, there will be some areas which will negate your passive light, forcing you to use a torch, or navigate the area blind.
A Glimpse into the Regions of STW:
Take a sneak peek into some of the released regions within Super Terraria World! Keep in mind that some areas may be kept secret for the time being, and there are many other areas still in development.

Player Skills:
Characters will be able to gain experience in a variety of different skills, both combat and non-combat.
Currently there are three combat skills in STW; melee, ranged, and magic. Each combat skill can be leveled up by gaining experience through killing creatures. Damaging an enemy with a melee weapon will grant you melee experience (awarded upon its defeat), and so forth. Increasing your combat skill levels will allow you to equip stronger armor and do more damage with weapons of that type.
The non combat skills include:
- Mining: This skill dictates which ore types you are allowed to mine. Higher tiered ores will require higher mining levels.
- Crafting: This skill allows you to craft certain weapons, armor, accessories, and ammunition, as well as some quest items. Similarly to the mining skill, higher tiered crafting recipes will require a higher crafting skill level.
- Chemistry: This skill allows you to brew new potions using raw ingredients which you can find or fish from various locations. As you level up your chemistry skill, you will be granted access to the chemistry potion tree, which will allow you to pick which potion recipe you wish to learn next. Gaining levels continues to unlock points to spend in this tree.
- Fishing: Similar to fishing in Vanilla Terraria, though new and bigger fish will require a higher fishing level to catch.

Hey Super Terrarians!
As you probably are aware, with the launch of 1.4 STW was playable, but contained a lot of visual bugs.
Shortly afterwards, our authentication method with Steam for registering new accounts no longer worked.
The team decided to start a high level plan of migrating STW to tModLoader for when it is updated to 1.4 to see if this was feasible, because if we could migrate successfully to tModLoader, we'd have a lot easier time working on content and possibly release certain features as individual mods for everyone to use as they'd like.
Since then, team members have also been finding themselves more and more focused on other commitments. Because of these commitments, and the fact that we are unsure when tModLoader will be fully supported for 1.4, after a lot of deliberation, the STW team has decided to unlaunch our Patreon page, and shutdown the servers.
The servers will be shutdown immediately, and Patreon page will stay open for a month to help ensure this new is visible on that platform. Billing will be paused, so Patrons do not need to worry about getting charged in that month.
We know that for many of you this is not something that you wanted to hear because you've been either eagerly waiting to play since 1.4 was released or you've been a long time supporter and know how much more potential STW has. In good conscience though, it does not seem fair to keep you all hanging on the edge and have you wondering when you'll be able to play. So, for those of you that pledged on Patreon and would like a refund, please request one.
With STW shutting down, what happens next for the mod, and for the team? This mod has been a huge part of the team's life as it has been in development for over 6 years! We've had a lot of laughs and enjoyable times together, and it's been an absolute pleasure meeting many passionate Terraria players that built up our community and made working on this mod rewarding. But we've also had some very sad times with our original Sprite Artist, Jestex, taking his own life in 2017, and plenty of late nights as we prepared new content launches and debugged major issues.
At this point though, the team is taking this as an opportunity to step back and further focus their efforts on other commitments and projects. This means that there is no guarantee as to what will happen with STW in the future - even when tModLoader is updated to 1.4. We'd like to get back at it, but we'll have to wait and see the future holds.

- What is a Super Terraria World?
- Super Terraria World is an MMORPG overhaul mod for Terraria. Its goal is to create a full MMORPG experience from Terraria with hand-crafted worlds, player progression, and exciting quests.
- What is an “Open Beta”?
- Open Beta means that anyone is welcome to download and play the mod. It is our first public multiplayer release of Super Terraria World.
- Wasn’t Super Terraria World already available to play?
- Yes and no. Super Terraria World first caught the attention of the general public during its “Single Player Alpha” stage. In order to meet the goals of the mod, the team stopped all Single Player development in favor of Multiplayer development in mid-2017. The “Closed Beta” Multiplayer version has been available to those who have pledged on Patreon since October 20th, 2018. The “Open Beta” is our first public multiplayer release.
- What do I need to play Super Terraria World Open Beta?
- You will need to own a copy of Terraria on Steam and have a PC running Windows 7 or later. We currently use Steam ID for player authentication.
- How long will the Open Beta last?
- Our goal is to keep the Open Beta accessible 24/7 until we are ready to come out of beta for a full release. Certain circumstances may affect our ability to keep the Open Beta running, primarily server stability.
- Under what circumstances will the Open Beta close?
- If our server cannot deliver a consistent, high quality experience to the majority of players, we will temporarily take the servers offline until we can confidently launch them again. We will do our best to communicate the issues we are facing and when we can expect to resolve them.
- Can I stream/record my playthrough?
- Absolutely! And please, let us know where we can check it out - we’d love to drop by and say hello.
- Will there be forced character resets?
- Unfortunately, yes. Patrons who can currently access the Closed Beta will have their stats reset prior to the Open Beta going live. During the Beta, we may need to reset player stats in response to game-breaking bugs or data loss. We also may do periodic player resets in order to gather more data about early gameplay. In those situations, we will strive to provide a new and rewarding experience for all players. Players always have the ability to reset their character at their own discretion.
- What happens if the server crashes?
- In the event of a server crash, the team will attempt to restore operations as quickly as possible. Due to the size of our team and our other commitments, server outages may last for a few hours. We thank you for being patient as we get them up and running again. Frequent crashes may lead to the need to close the Open Beta. See FAQ #6 for more information on that.
- What does this mean for Patrons pledging for the beta access?
- See our Patreon Update/FAQ here: <link to Patreon post>
- This mod looks awesome, how can I support you guys?
- Telling your friends, following us on Twitter, and chatting with us on our Discord channel are the easiest ways to support us. If you’re feeling extremely generous, you can also support us through our Patreon.
- What is the difference between “Open Beta” and “Full Release”?
- The Open Beta is still missing gameplay that we consider “essential” to the complete product of Super Terraria World. The three biggest being the Chemistry skill, a more complete version of our Sivania World, and <something else?>. You can track our progress towards the Full Release here: <link to Roadmaps>
- How do I report a bug?
- We’ve added a few commands in-game to help report bugs. All three commands will open our bug report Google Formwhen typed, but two of the commands will also help assist you if you’re stuck in-game.
- /report-bug
- This command will take a screenshot and open the bug report form
- /player-report-bug-stuck
- This command will take a screenshot, open the bug report form, and teleport you to your spawn point
- /player-report-bug-spawn will take a screenshot, open the bug report form, and teleport you to the world spawn point
- /report-bug
- We’ve added a few commands in-game to help report bugs. All three commands will open our bug report Google Formwhen typed, but two of the commands will also help assist you if you’re stuck in-game.
- Where is feature X?
- Super Terraria World is still in development, and the feature you are asking about is likely in our backlog, but make sure to drop us a line on our Discord saying what you like about that feature and why you think it should be implemented.
- Can I run my own server?
- No. Like most other MMOs, Super Terraria World runs on a dedicated server to connect hundreds of players from all over the world. There are no plans to make the server code publicly available.
- Where can I learn more?
- Drop by our Discord Server and come chat with us any time.
