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.
But wait, there's more! Mobile Terrarians are also receiving the 1.3.1 through 1.3.5 updates at the same time. That's right, you are getting SIX updates in one today!
So, what awaits you in Journey's End? What about all of that 1.3.1-1.3.5 content? 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 earlier this year. While some things may not match 1:1 (such as UI/control differences), we feel this is an easy way to at least 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)
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 are NOT supported by Terraria: Journey's End on Mobile:
THERE & BACK AGAIN: A SUMMARY OF JOURNEY'S END
Texture Packs & Modding are not currently possible on Mobile. This is something the team will explore as we move forward - but we cannot currently make any promises one way or the other.
That being said, let's dive into a few of the more cool/bigger features:
NEW CHANGES SPECIFIC TO MOBILE
New Lighting Mode: Color Lighting - this lighting mode provides for more vibrant colors and smoother lighting effects along with smoother water effects when moving liquids (the "ripples" effect is not in yet - we will be looking to add this post release)
Horizontal vs Vertical Hotbar toggle
Revised Gamepad mapping to account for the wide range of Journey's End controls - adjusted Defaults as well!
UI Changes to account for Journey's End Features
New Mobile Server Application for PC
DEDICATED MOBILE SERVER FOR WINDOWS/LINUX/PC
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 mobile? Well this is where some of the new Mobile UI changes come into play. Here are just a few examples:
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!
What was Old is Made New Again: Revisting the Terraria Experience
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!
Learn all about the Terraria Bestiary by reading our recent Feature Article on the topic!
Mythical Beasts & Where to Farm Them: Exploring Terraria's Bestiary
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
- NPCs are happier when you locate them in biomes that they prefer
- NPCs are happier when they like their neighbors
- NPCs are happier when they are not overcrowded with other NPCs
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?
- NPC Shop prices will adjust based upon how happy each NPC is at the time
- If you make an NPC happy enough, you will gain access to a Pylon for that Biome (more on this below!)
How can I tell if my NPCs are Happy?
- You will notice a new dialogue option for Happiness for each NPC
- This will give you hints about what might make them happier as well!
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.

ADVENTURE MAPS - A WHOLE NEW WAY TO PLAY
One of the coolest aspects of this update is the way in which it makes mapmaking both easier and more in-depth! For those that are not aware, earlier in Terraria's life, there were a ton of custom maps - covering everything from standalone Adventures to Parkour to PVP and more - created by players for easy download and play. Theses maps utilized clever building skills and a defined set of rules to transform "vanilla" Terraria into a fresh experience. We are really hoping that Terraria 1.3.1 will trigger a renaissance of this kind of shared player creations!
To help kick that off properly way back when 1.3.1 released, we worked with mapmakers-of-legend @Clara and Noel to present their latest creation - and the first map made with Terraria 1.3.1 - for your gaming pleasure. Introducing....
A Terraria 1.3.1 Adventure Map - By Clara & Noel
To download the Tales of the Terrarian Map, simply click the image above!
For a brief description, screenshots, and other information about this brand new Adventure Map that uses a lot of what 1.3.1 has to offer, check out the Official Thread for Tales of the Terrarian! While you are there, be sure to share your feedback and appreciation for the amazing work these two put together here! Our entire team was impressed, to put it mildly.
