TERRARIA 1.4.4.6
PC: (10/21/22)
Mobile/Console: (11/30/22)

I. Content Changes and Balance Changes
- The Angler's Accessory Drop Duplicate Protection has been adjusted to make it more flexible and player friendly. Instead of only selectively applying duplicate protection to the 2 triple sets of accessories independently, he now applies the duplicate protection to all 7 accessories, including the Fishing Bobber. If the player has any of the 7 accessories (either in their individual form or their tinkered forms, such as Shellphone) in their inventory, the Angler will always give a non-duplicate accessory whenever he rolls to drop an accessory at all. He will only begin dropping duplicates again once the player has all 7 in their inventory. This will also result in a general increase in the number of accessories he drops.
- As a follow-up change to the above, the Mermaid and Fish Costume have been moved to be before Accessories in priority order since Accessories will be more common.
- Pulling items out of stacks now speeds up faster after a few seconds to account for the larger stack size
- Adjusted some unintuitive spawning conditions with unsafe Dungeon and Underground Desert Backwalls, where they required a wall to be placed behind the block where the enemies would be spawning instead of just above it. This is no longer the case.
- It has come to our attention that the Goblin Summoner does not, in fact, drop any Summoner items. This is an unacceptable discrepancy, so the Goblin Summoner has been demoted to Goblin Warlock.
- Master For the Worthy and Everything Seeds now show their difficulty as "Legendary" on the main menu
- Stinkbugs are now more common on days where Stinkbugs can spawn
- Added recipes to craft Sandstone and Hardened Sand Blocks at a Solidifier
- Christmas and Halloween Slimes can now be transformed into the Squire Slime if no Blue Slimes are available due to seasonal spawns
- Sandstorm in a Bottle and Flying Carpet can now be transmuted into Pharaoh Vanities
- Lava Charm can now be transmuted into Magma Stone
- Increased the visibility of the Oiled debuff to make it more clear when it is active
- Silver and Tungsten Bullets will now give 1 ore when decrafted in Shimmer, instead of 1 bar
- Copper Shortsword, Copper Axe, and Copper Pickaxe will now give 1 Copper Ore and 1 Wood when decrafted in Shimmer (instead of not being decraftable at all)
- Reduced the sell value of the Glass Kiln
- Crispy Honey Blocks are now highlighted by Dangersense Potions on FTW Seeds
- Cacti are now highlighted by Dangersense Potions on Constant Seeds
- FTW Random Angel Statue replacement should no longer impact Dungeon Chests, including the HM Biome Chests

II. Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where Ice Golems, Angry Nimbi, and Rainbow Slimes wouldn't spawn reliably on Remix seed. They should now properly spawn during rain/blizzards.
- Fixed Molecart being able to dig through Demon Altars pre-Hardmode, and also being able to dig through chests with items in them
- Fixed an issue where Pumpkin Moon enemies were scaling way too much in multiplayer, including an entirely unintended damage scaling factor
- Fixed an issue where Frost Moon enemies were NOT scaling in multiplayer as intended (they should behave the same as the now-fixed Pumpkin Moon scaling)
- Fixing (again) Brain of Cthulhu telefragging players
- Fixed the Guide to Peaceful Coexistence being flagged as a material when it was not a material
- Fixed an issue where ipv6 addresses were not functioning correctly for multiplayer servers
- NPCs or Critters spawned via spammable sources (by placing them, by statues, etc) are now flagged as such, and will be automatically replaced by regular spawns if they reach the spawn limit. This also applies to Queen Bee's Bees.
- Related fix to the above, the game will now spawn more faelings at once from critters dropped into Shimmer, as they will no longer interfere with natural spawns
- Fixed Hand of Creation having a lower rarity than Architekt Gizmo Pack
- Fixed several world name generator words that used an inconsistent apostrophe
- Revised a number of tooltips relating to Ammo and Mana Consumption to be more consistent
- Revised Celestial Shell accessory line's tooltips to be on more lines so that the text didn't scroll off the screen on small resolutions.
- Revised tooltips for a few other armor pieces to have more consistent order/phrasing
- Fixed some minor grammatical issues in some bestiary entries
(Note: Localization/tooltip adjustments in 1.4.4.5 and 1.4.4.6 are only to English at this time, and will be added in other languages in a subsequent hotfix)
- Fixed an issue causing players in Everything seed to get boosted boss death timers when in single player
- Fixed the Inner Tube being able to float in Honey, and it will now also work in Shimmer if you have the Chromatic Cloak equipped
- Fixed an issue where Gem Trees would not draw their foliage if there was no block below the block they grew out of
- Fixed Block Swapping Sand in the Celebration seed not painting it cyan
- Fixed an issue that would sometimes result in Underground Desert chests generating as the wrong type of chest, usually Gold Chests (and with the wrong type of loot)
- Fixed an issue where some equipment slots could have "nothing" right clicked into them
- Fixed Halloween and Christmas Bunnies not transforming into Faelings in Shimmer
- Fixed an issue where the Environmental Preservation Guide effect would prevent traps from breaking tiles
- Fixed an issue that prevented Deerclop's enemy slot count from properly reducing spawns like other enemies and bosses
- Fixed an issue where Horseman's Blade projectiles would sometimes decide to target critters, even though they aren't meant to target critters
- Fixed an issue with boss projectile NPCs being inconsistently killable in Single vs Multiplayer on FTW/Everything seeds
- Fixed an issue where Fertilizer wouldn't work on trees in certain Underground layers of Remix/Everything seed
- Fixed an inconsistency with the collision size of some dart trap darts
- Added a buffer zone to infection and grass spread outside the edge of the world to prevent scenarios where infection could reach places where it couldn't be purified

TERRARIA 1.4.4.7
PC: (10/24/22)
Mobile/Console: (11/30/22)

II. Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue with day spontaneously setting itself to night
- Fixed an issue where Queen Bee and Golem would fail to spawn the first time every launch session, and possibly more often in multiplayer in some cases
- Fixed bestiary entries not updating their adjusted stats first for the purposes of sorting
- Fixed an issue where pressing UP/DOWN to toggle Rubblemaker tiles changing the selection of other players as well
- Fixed a worldgen issue where Dead Man's Chest minibiome traps could generate over other containers and break them
- Fixed an issue where King Slime could be summoned on Remix/Everything seeds by Slimes being killed in lava without player interaction. Hurting the slime first will still allow King Slime's spawn to happen if the lava delivers the killing blow, however.
- Fixed Slimers having an inadvertent double chance to drop Monster Meat
- Reverting a change in 1.4.4.6 relating to ipv6 IPs to resolve a bug; will be re-evaluated in a future hotfix


---

TERRARIA 1.4.4.8
PC: (11/9/22)
Mobile/Console: (11/30/22)

I. Changes:
- Made some optimizations to Mac performance. We are interested in feedback on how successful this is, and if possible, will try to follow up on other areas that also need improvement. For the time being, the most notable examples to test out are on the player creation menu and around mannequins (especially with large numbers of mannequins), but other general performance improvements may be expected. Please let us know if there are any improvements or issues as a result of the optimizations!
- Biome Style buttons on the Camera Mode biome interface now have mouseover text showing what biome they represent
- Right clicking out of search bars in the Bestiary and Research menus will now also exit the search, just like Left Clicking previously did

- Gold Worms, when thrown into Shimmer in critter form, also turn into Gummy Worms, instead of Faelings, the same as if they were thrown in as an item

- Pressure Plate Minecart Tracks are now shown with Dangersense Potion
- Hallowed and Ancient Hallowed Armor no longer transmute into each other in Shimmer. Instead, they decraft into Hallowed Bars


II. Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue that allows lava kills on Blue Slimes to count as valid for spawning King Slime in Remix/Everything seed. They will still count as valid, however, if the player hurts them first.
- Fixed Steam deck users being unable to use smart cursor when using precise aim methods (trackpad, attached mouse)
- Fixed a Dungeon issue where closet and hallways might sometimes cut-off the entrance from above it, resulting in being unable to progress. This should result in, at minumum, less examples of inaccessible Dungeons.
- Fixed a rare issue where the Temple door can rarely generate in a position that is entirely inaccessible from the entrance
- Fixed an issue causing Boulder Traps to generate over chests
- Fixed Royal Gel not working on Golden Slime
- Fixed an issue where Mannequins and Hatracks even remotely near the player would remove your bonus tile placement range from Accessories

- Fixed some sprite issues that resulted in a number of Food item sprites being partially cut-off. While doing so, also made some fixes to a few Food items showing up on plates incorrectly
- Fixed Skyware Toilet's item not using the updated color scheme shown in the furniture tile
- Fixed a single 1-block layer in the underworld of the Remix/Everything seed that spawned the wrong enemies

- Fixed Phasesabers and Orange Phaseblade not glowing like the other Phaseblades
- Fixed newer ambient critter sounds not scaling with the Ambient volume setting like other critters

- Fixed an issue with the player's arm rotating the wrong way when in reverse gravity and swinging Shortswords or Starlight
- Fixed a multiplayer issue where Drill Mount's mining beams were not visible to other players when mining walls

- Fixed rope coils not extending rope when the rope in question intersected platforms/rails
- Fixed Red Pigrons dropping more money than other Pigrons for no apparent reason
- Fixed an issue where fishing very deep ponds would sometimes not allow fishing up anything at all

- Fixed an issue where Ocean Pylons wouldn't work in some Ocean-areas in Remix/Everything seed

- Spawned bees can now crit based on Melee critical chance

Night's Edge
- Damage reduced from 42 to 40
- Usetime increased from 21 to 25

Snapthorn
- Poison duration reduced from 4 to 3 seconds
- Chance to inflict Poison reduced from 100% to 20%

Houndious Shootius
- Increased hitbox size of the projectile

Optic Staff
- Base damage increased from 21 to 24 (Spazmamini's damage is 100% of base damage)
- Retinamini's damage scaling reduced from 1.25x to 1.15x of base damage (still a slight increase due to the increased base)

Frost Hydra
- Projectiles set changed to use static immune frames instead of global

Magic Quiver

War Table (and by default, War Banners)

- T3 Dark Mage has a 1/8 chance to drop either independently in Classic, and a 1/4 chance in Expert+.

Sleeping/Sitting in Chairs
- Dramatically reduced the health regen buff when sitting or sleeping
- Sleeping and Sitting are now interrupted by taking damage

Mystic Frog:
- Spawn rate increased

Remix World pre-Hardmode Mimics
- Health increased from 270 to 300
- Defense reduced from 16 to 12

- Recorded Music Boxes thrown into Shimmer will now be transmuted back into blank Music Boxes
- Updated over one hundred sprites to modernize some older and dated assets.
- In tandem with the above, reset the scale stat on about 90 swords and tools back to 1. Over time and various updates, many of these weapons had their "scale" multiplier increased, a balancing stat that increases their size to give them a bigger hitbox. Unfortunately, this results in increasingly distorted and inconsistent pixel size across our weapons. All of the affected weapons/tools have had their sprite increased in size to reflect their actual in-game size, and then the scaling factor reduced back down to 1. This will result in both modernized versions of some old sprites, but less stretched, size appropriate weapon sprites to match their intended size. In practice, this will have minimal actual impact on their in-game hitbox size, but when there is a change, it is almost always a difference of a pixel or two, and usually in favor of making the weapon slightly bigger.
- An important note for Resource Pack makers: any sprite replacements in resource packs for any of these updated Swords/Tools will no longer function, because the old sprites are not the same size as they are now. To update resource packs which change the appearance of these weapons, the replacement sprites will need to be resized to match the new expected sprite size.
- Below is a list of every Sword or Tool that had its sprite size changed. Note that only affected Swords and Tools, and the Penguin Pet's Projectile (Projectile_112) will need to be resized for Resource Packs; all of the other resprited assets maintained the same size as they were before.

QUALITY OF LIFE


GEAR LOADOUTS



Terraria has always been a game where the player is constantly shifting roles - Dig, Fight, Build is the tagline, after all! Previously, this meant a lot of shifting around of gear sets and the like... but with Labor of Love, players will at long last have access to a set of three gear loadouts! This will allow players to create different gear setups ahead of time and seamlessly swap between them as needed.

index.php


EVOLVED VOID BAG

For those of you who aren't already familiar with the current version of the Void Bag, it is a portable personal storage container similar to the Money Trough. Uniquely, it also has the ability to automatically pick up any extra items whenever your inventory is full. However, we have added expanded functionality to the Void Bag to further enhance its role as a supplementary inventory.

index.php

For starters, the Void Bag can now be opened or closed with Right Click. When in the Closed state, it will deactivate its ability to pick up extra items, and act just like second Money Trough. When in the Opened state, however, a variety of new functionality becomes available!

index.php

Any crafting materials kept within the Void Bag will be available for any crafting recipes! You will not have to directly access the storage, or summon the portal, to be able to immediately craft with anything inside of the Void Bag!


index.php

Healing, Mana, and Buff Potions stored in the Void Bag can be used directly via their respective Quick Hotkeys. You can store all of your favorite buff potions in the Void Bag and simply refresh at any time! Mana Flower auto-potion functionality will work with the Void Bag as well! Enterprising players might keep some core buff potions in their regular inventory, with a secondary set of specialized buff potions in the bag. Depending on which mode the Void Bag is in, this will allow players to effectively hold two different potion "loadouts" at a time!

index.php

You can now Favorite items stored within the Void Bag. This has been added because you can ALSO Quick Stack to Nearby Chests anything inside of your Opened Void Bag. Favorite the things you want to keep, and then use Quick Stack for faster chest sorting!

index.php

Using Loot All on a chest with a full or nearly full inventory will deposit any overflow directly into the Void Bag



There are a number of other items which will function automatically when placed in a Open Void Bag, as they would when in the player's inventory, including:
  • Info Accessories
  • Paint Sprayer, Presserator, and any accessories that grant Wire, Actuator, or Ruler vision when in the inventory
  • The Guide to Critter Companionship
  • Keys stored in the bag can be used to open Chests
  • Wormhole Potions

index.php


INVENTORY IMPROVEMENTS

stack size.PNG

Most stackable items have had their max limit increased to 9999!

Social Accessory.gif

That's right folks, you can once again place any accessory in your social slots.

To help you keep track of what is going into which chest, Quick Stack to Nearby Chests now has a visual effect, showing the items which are being quick stacked moving towards the chests.


index.php


KEEP COUNT WITH NUMERICAL HEALTH BARS


Player bars.PNG

No longer wonder how much health you have left - even on the fancier health bars! (Toggle this on/off in settings)

Boss Bars.PNG

Having to hover over the boss to see just how close you are to defeating it is a thing of the past!


index.php


ROPE INTERACTION IMPROVEMENTS

Ropes and Carts.jpg

Rope has always been a useful tool since it was added to Terraria, but it has never really played nice with other handy exploration tools such as minecart tracks and platforms. Labor of Love fixes up that little problem - ropes, cart tracks, and platforms... living together... mass hysteria!

WORLD SEEDS


Glitch Animation Comp3.gif

GET FIXED BOI - THE ZENITH SEED

You ever wonder what would happen if you took every seed in the game - including the new ones from Labor of Love - mashed them together, and then spent the extra time to playtest this new seed and polish it until it is "just right". Oh, and then for good measure, you tossed in a few features and dynamics unique to that seed?

Wonder no more, for the Zenith Seed is here! We consider this to be the true Magnum Opus of Terraria World Seeds - a version of Terraria that is equal parts unique to play and a whole new level of challenge for the most hardened Terrarians. Take on this seed only if you dare, for it may truly break you - Get Fixed Boi!

index.php


Remix Header.png

DON'T DIG UP - THE REMIX SEED

An idea first discussed during the release of Journey's End, Don't Dig Up turns the world of Terraria upside down - literally! The player will begin their adventure in the depths of the underworld, complete with all new flora to help provide early resources.

As the player ascends into "The Up", however, the threats will magnify exponentially until they reach the Surface - a truly horrifying and inhospitable place that will test the mettle of even the most seasoned Terrarian. Rethink everything you know, but Don't Dig Up unless you are prepared for what comes next!

index.php


No Traps Header.png

NO TRAPS - THE NO TRAPS SEED

You know what is the worst? When you are out exploring in the world of Terraria and you get blown up by an explosive trap... or even worse, squashed by a nasty boulder! Well, the team wanted to make a World Seed that was designed with Terrarians who really hate traps in mind.

index.php


IMPROVEMENTS TO EXISTING WORLD SEEDS

Rainbow mush 1.png

In developing the three new World Seeds for Labor of Love, the team gained some new insights into how to really make world seeds feel special. Thus, we took the extra time to revisit some of our existing seeds in order to spruce them up a bit. For some seeds, these changes are relatively minor. However, the Celebration Mk 10 and For the Worthy seeds have seen some pretty substantial tweaks. Regardless, it is very much worth it for Terrarians to check out all of the existing World Seeds once again with these new changes in place!

Of course, this is just scratching the surface for all there is to know about World Seeds in Labor of Love - be sure to check out the full changelog linked below for all of the details!

NEW ADDITIONS


INTRODUCING - THE TOWN SLIMES

Slime Town 3.gif


Slimes are widely considered to be non-sentient beings: mindless blobs of gel that aimlessly bounce about throughout the world of Terraria. Recently however, Terrarian Slimeologists have discovered what appears to be a new evolution in slime kind... some sort of big, blobby, smart slimes. Well, smart by slime standards at least.

The denizens of Terraria have dubbed these new creatures "Town Slimes", for their penchant to attempt to dress up and try to fit in with Terrarian society. Thus far, the discovered variants include:

Cool Slime - The backwards hat is a clear giveaway that this is one hip slime indeed

Clumsy Slime - No one is quite sure how that arrow got stuck in his head, but he seems to like it...

Surly Slime - This guy has a bad attitude and keeps running afoul of the law

Nerdy Slime - Clearly smarter than all other slimes, as evidenced by the glasses

Elder Slime - Back in his day, you had to jump over single block tall heights and you had to dig up blocks before replacing them

Diva Slime - Yes, even slimes have celebrities... and yes she is better than you

Mystic Slime - this slime is in touch with the natural energies that flow throughout Terraria

Squire Slime - Ready to defend the kingdom from all threats, wielding the most powerful weapon known to slimekind



This cast of characters is packed with personality, and players who are brave and clever enough to seek them out during their adventures will have the chance to have all eight Town Slimes move in to their towns/bases! Best of luck on your search for the Town Slimes - gotta catch 'em all!

index.php


NEW USEFUL ITEMS TO AID YOUR ADVENTURES

You used to call me on the Cellphone, but now that Labor of Love is here, all the cool kids are using the Shellphone! This handy device allows you to choose the destination of the magic mirror function - Initial Spawn, Home (Bed), Ocean, or Underworld!


terraform2.gif

Terraformer - we have taken the Clentaminator and made it stronger, faster, better. We have the technology!



7jTAEA8.gif

Lilith's Necklace will allow you to transform into a wolf during your adventures - because who doesn't want to channel their inner wolf!?

index.php


NEW BLOCKS AND DECOR

What Terraria update would be complete without some fancy new decorations and blocks to spruce up your bases, arenas, and more! Here are a few fun examples:

Coral Switch.png

Reef Blocks and Coral Furniture



Gallery.png

Brand New Paintings - Designed by the Team, Testers, and Community



A Blast from the Past - Ancient Blocks Relive the Early Days of Terraria!


HeartsnStars.gif

Have You Ever Wanted to Place Heart & Mana Crystals as Decorations? Sure you have!


index.php


NEW BUILDER TOOLS

On top of providing all new blocks and furniture for our builder friends, the team has added two new Terraria building tools that we think will really help you take your Terraria creations to the next level!

hoc.png

Hand of Creation - A New Tinker that will Make Building Easier than Ever!


Rubblemaker - At Long Last, the Fun Worldgen-based Stuff is at your Fingertips!
Check out these videos by @Khaios and @Cheesypaninie for full details - they do a better job showing these off than words could ever do!

index.php


ECHO AND ILLUMINANT COATINGS

New Coatings provide players with all new ways to design cool base/town effects and even more diabolical adventure maps!

Something about the illusion of transparency.gif

Echo Coating, combined with the Echo Monolith lets you make things disappear! Now you see it, now you don't!



To help you really see the potential that Coatings can provide, @Khaios and @Cheesypaninie put together the video above - definitely give this a watch!

BALANCE & MELEE OVERHAUL


MELEE OVERHAUL

The Melee "Class" has always had a bit of a reputation for being underwhelming and a bit of a struggle to use - particularly against very mobile foes. No, Zenith does not count - that is an endgame weapon that is devastating to use regardless of what "class" one wishes to place it.

Taking the dynamics of defense, damage done, mobility, etc. all into account, it was clear that the entire class needed a closer look to make the risk more worth the rewards when playing Melee. What all does this entail? We will not cover everything here, but this should give a good sense for our approach.


GLOBAL WEAPON TWEAKS
All broadsword-class melee weapons (this also includes pickaxes, axes, hammers, and hamaxes) now use local immunity frames on hit. Very notably, this means that projectile swords will no longer block their own piercing projectiles from hitting a target at point blank range. It will also result in more consistent hitting when mixing multiple sources of damage (Piercing minions and swords, for example)

Knockback when spinning flails has been increased from 25% to 35% of normal knockback
Spinning flails now hit up to 4 times a second instead of 3 times a second. Flails which already hit 4 times a second have been increased to 5 times a second.


---

MELEE WEAPON STAT BUFFS
Many Melee Weapons have seen numerical improvements in raw damage, use time, reach, etc. Coupled with the global changes that impact how projectiles and "direct" hits coexist (eg. no longer conflicting with each other), this results in a substantial increase in DPS and utility for previously underwhelming Melee Weapons.

---

WEAPON REWORKS
Even with the changes listed above, some Melee Weapons felt like they needed a more significant reworking - visually, functionally, or both. Let's dive into a few examples, shall we?

DarkLance.gif

Dark Lance - Now generates a shockwave at the end of the spear, which increases its effective range. This shockwave also scales in size with melee speed, so you can now expect more pronounced Melee Speed benefits for Dark Lance. Now inflicts Shadowflame as well.

Light Disc.gif

Light Disc - now a single item, not 5 stacked items. As a result, it can now have prefixes. Players can now shoot up to 6 Discs at once instead of 5. Oh, and a cool new light trail effect.

horseman blade 2.gif

Horseman's Blade - Now has an area of damaging energy around the blade, dealing damage in a larger, wider area of effect, including better coverage behind the player.

---

NIGHT'S EDGE/TERRA BLADE SWORD QUEST LINE
We felt that the Terra Blade "quest" that begins with Night's Edge in pre-Hardmode, continuing into Hardmode, culminating in players crafting the Terra Blade - really needed to feel a bit more important and meaningful to players who chose to take it on. As a result, Night's Edge and Terra Blade have seen a rework - as have each of their components! We have highlighted a few below... but the rest, we leave up to you to discover.


Blood Butcherer.gif

Blood Butcherer - Every successful strike on an enemy now applies a stack of "Blood Butchered", a short lived damage over time effect. Each of these stacks are signified by a gout of blood spouting forth from the enemy.

Volcano.gif

Volcano - Fiery Greatsword evolved into Volcano! Upon striking an enemy, Volcano will generate an fiery explosive area of effect, dealing additional damage to the original target and nearby enemies!


cudW7OX.gif

True Excalibur -True Excalibur now has a very large area of damaging energy around the blade, dealing damage in a dramatically wider area of effect, including better coverage behind the player. It no longer fires a projectile sword beam


index.php


BOSS TWEAKS

We have given several bosses a once-over during Labor of Love, so you will want to check out the full changelog for all of the juicy details. You don't want to be caught unawares, after all! That being said, we did want to highlight two bosses that have perhaps seen the most changes. As a result, we expect that players will find them to be a bit more challenging!


GOLEM

Golem Fist.gif

What Terraria Balance Update would be complete without a buff to Golem? Continually seen as one of the easiest bosses in all of Terraria, the Golem fight needed more love from the team. What has changed? Take him on and find out!



DUKE FISHRON

Duke.png


The Duke was once seen as one of the better boss fights in all of Terraria. He is still a solid experience, but we felt like he could use a bit of tweaking in order to help him return to a more prominent challenge that is worthy of how the game has evolved since his introduction. Head to the Ocean and fish him up in order to experience a fresh fight!

index.php


PUMPKIN MOON OVERHAUL

Let's face it, the good old Pumpkin Moon was starting to show its age a bit. Once considered a challenge event, it has been relegated to the role of niche side content that doesn't really stand up to the skills and gear of the modern Terrarian. Well, fret not, Pumpkin Moon fans! We have reworked the Pumpkin Moon in order to bring it in line with other events of that same tier, such as the Frost Moon. What exactly did we change?

Pumpkin Moon is now a full 20 Wave event rather than its previous 15 Waves


Capture 2022-09-07 13_10_06.png

Pumpkin Moon Enemies received some buffs, and the composition of each wave has changed...
The insane boss spam typical of the later waves of Pumpkin Moon has been cut back tremendously - this will not only challenge the player to play more optimally to rack up high scores, but will also likely put less strain on everyone's hardware

TERRARIA: LABOR OF LOVE FULL CHANGELOG

In addition to the summary provided above, here is a more comprehensive/detailed changelog for those that are interested. Notably, it includes a very thorough balance change review. We have divided things up by sections to help you find what you are looking for. Happy reading!

index.php

II. Changes:
- Updated localization of non-English languages to include all of the post-1.4.4 hotfix content and text adjustments & changes
- Recorded Music Boxes thrown into Shimmer will now be transmuted back into blank Music Boxes
- Updated over one hundred sprites to modernize some older and dated assets.
- In tandem with the above, reset the scale stat on about 90 swords and tools back to 1. Over time and various updates, many of these weapons had their "scale" multiplier increased, a balancing stat that increases their size to give them a bigger hitbox. Unfortunately, this results in increasingly distorted and inconsistent pixel size across our weapons. All of the affected weapons/tools have had their sprite increased in size to reflect their actual in-game size, and then the scaling factor reduced back down to 1. This will result in both modernized versions of some old sprites, but less stretched, size appropriate weapon sprites to match their intended size. In practice, this will have minimal actual impact on their in-game hitbox size, but when there is a change, it is almost always a difference of a pixel or two, and usually in favor of making the weapon slightly bigger.
- An important note for Resource Pack makers: any sprite replacements in resource packs for any of these updated Swords/Tools will no longer function, because the old sprites are not the same size as they are now. To update resource packs which change the appearance of these weapons, the replacement sprites will need to be resized to match the new expected sprite size.
- Below is a list of every Sword or Tool that had its sprite size changed. Note that only affected Swords and Tools, and the Penguin Pet's Projectile (Projectile_112) will need to be resized for Resource Packs; all of the other resprited assets maintained the same size as they were before.

index.php

I. Changes:
- Made some optimizations to Mac performance. We are interested in feedback on how successful this is, and if possible, will try to follow up on other areas that also need improvement. For the time being, the most notable examples to test out are on the player creation menu and around mannequins (especially with large numbers of mannequins), but other general performance improvements may be expected. Please let us know if there are any improvements or issues as a result of the optimizations!

- Pressure Plate Minecart Tracks are now shown with Dangersense Potion
- Hallowed and Ancient Hallowed Armor no longer transmute into each other in Shimmer. Instead, they decraft into Hallowed Bars

II. Bug Fixes:

- Fixed Steam deck users being unable to use smart cursor when using precise aim methods (trackpad, attached mouse)
- Fixed a Dungeon issue where closet and hallways might sometimes cut-off the entrance from above it, resulting in being unable to progress. This should result in, at minumum, less examples of inaccessible Dungeons.

- Fixed Skyware Toilet's item not using the updated color scheme shown in the furniture tile
- Fixed a single 1-block layer in the underworld of the Remix/Everything seed that spawned the wrong enemies

- Fixed the Skeleton Merchant showing up in the bestiary with out of date sprites.
- Fixed an issue with the player's arm rotating the wrong way when in reverse gravity and swinging Shortswords or Starlight
- Fixed a multiplayer issue where Drill Mount's mining beams were not visible to other players when mining walls

III. Balance:
Swords with Range Boosting Auras (Excalibur, Horseman's Blade, etc)
Swords with Range Boosting Auras (Excalibur, Horseman's Blade, etc)
- Swords with boosted range auras that hit enemies behind the player will now knock enemies away, rather than into the player

Trimarang
- Knockback increased from 3 to 4.5.
- Projectile speed and return speed (very) slightly increased. It is now faster than all of the boomerangs that go into it
- Usetime decreased from 22 to 20

Starfury
- Base damage increased from 22 to 25
- Reduce projectile damage from 2x to 1.5x (from 44 to 37)

Bee Keeper and Hive-Five
- Spawned bees can now crit based on Melee critical chance

Night's Edge
- Damage reduced from 42 to 40
- Usetime increased from 21 to 25
- Reduce pierce count from 3 to 2. As the swing actually has 2 projectiles (each of which have their own pierce counter), this is a reduction from 6 to 4 maximum possible hits per swing
- Range of the extended portion of the swing has been slightly reduced

Ice Sickle
- Projectile damage increased from 50% of base to 67%
- Pierce count on projectile increased from 3 to 4

Death Sickle
- Sickle projectiles changed to use static immune frames instead of global

Terra Blade
- Reduced the benefits from Melee Speed stat bonuses by 25%

North Pole
- Flakes that are very close to each other will now slightly push away from each other, resulting in flake spread when falling

Undertaker
- Damage reduced from 22 to 19 (partially undoing the 1.4.4 buff)

Phoenix Blaster
- Damage reduced from 33 to 30
- UseTime reduced from 17 to 14

Aqua Scepter
- Piercing count reduced from unlimited to 5, like Golden Shower

Snapthorn
- Poison duration reduced from 4 to 3 seconds
- Chance to inflict Poison reduced from 100% to 20%
- Correction: In 1.4.4, the changelog listed that Snapthorn's damage was increased from 18 to 19. This was in error. It remains at 18 damage.

Houndious Shootius
- Increased hitbox size of the projectile

Optic Staff
- Base damage increased from 21 to 24 (Spazmamini's damage is 100% of base damage)
- Retinamini's damage scaling reduced from 1.25x to 1.15x of base damage (still a slight increase due to the increased base)

Frost Hydra
- Projectiles set changed to use static immune frames instead of global

Magic Quiver
- Drop rate increased from 1/80 to 1/40

War Table (and by default, War Banners)
- Increasing drop rate and splitting its drop chance away from War Banners
- T1 Dark Mage now has a 50% chance to drop each of them independently in Classic, and a 100% to drop each in Expert+.
- T3 Dark Mage has a 1/8 chance to drop either independently in Classic, and a 1/4 chance in Expert+.

Sleeping/Sitting in Chairs
- Dramatically reduced the health regen buff when sitting or sleeping
- Sleeping and Sitting are now interrupted by taking damage

Mystic Frog
- Spawn rate increased
- No longer despawns when attempting to catch it with a net; it instead teleports to a nearby onscreen location
- Bestiary entry changed to more subtly imply how to obtain it

Remix World pre-Hardmode Mimics
- Health increased from 270 to 300
- Defense reduced from 16 to 12

Remix World King Slime Spawns
- Put a stat progression check on King Slime spawns to prevent Day 1 spawns on unprepared players. Will be identical to Slime Rain conditions from normal worlds.

index.php

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue with day spontaneously setting itself to night
- Fixed an issue where Queen Bee and Golem would fail to spawn the first time every launch session, and possibly more often in multiplayer in some cases
- Fixed bestiary entries not updating their adjusted stats first for the purposes of sorting
- Fixed an issue where pressing UP/DOWN to toggle Rubblemaker tiles changing the selection of other players as well
- Fixed a worldgen issue where Dead Man's Chest minibiome traps could generate over other containers and break them
- Fixed an issue where King Slime could be summoned on Remix/Everything seeds by Slimes being killed in lava without player interaction. Hurting the slime first will still allow King Slime's spawn to happen if the lava delivers the killing blow, however.
- Fixed Slimers having an inadvertent double chance to drop Monster Meat
- Reverting a change in 1.4.4.6 relating to ipv6 IPs to resolve a bug; will be re-evaluated in a future hotfix

index.php

Changes:
- The Angler's Accessory Drop Duplicate Protection has been adjusted to make it more flexible and player friendly. Instead of only selectively applying duplicate protection to the 2 triple sets of accessories independently, he now applies the duplicate protection to all 7 accessories, including the Fishing Bobber. If the player has any of the 7 accessories (either in their individual form or their tinkered forms, such as Shellphone) in their inventory, the Angler will always give a non-duplicate accessory whenever he rolls to drop an accessory at all. He will only begin dropping duplicates again once the player has all 7 in their inventory. This will also result in a general increase in the number of accessories he drops.
- As a follow-up change to the above, the Mermaid and Fish Costume have been moved to be before Accessories in priority order since Accessories will be more common.
- Pulling items out of stacks now speeds up faster after a few seconds to account for the larger stack size
- Adjusted some unintuitive spawning conditions with unsafe Dungeon and Underground Desert Backwalls, where they required a wall to be placed behind the block where the enemies would be spawning instead of just above it. This is no longer the case.
- It has come to our attention that the Goblin Summoner does not, in fact, drop any Summoner items. This is an unacceptable discrepancy, so the Goblin Summoner has been demoted to Goblin Warlock.

- Gamepad now tries matching Button Instructions to the inventory slot your cursor is on immediately. Hovering over a button or item with the cursor will show the relevant Gamepad instructions.
- Fixed an issue where exiting the research menu mid-animation would result in the animation resuming when you opened it back up later
- Fixed Info Accessories not properly updating their display when the game is paused
- Fixed an issue allowing Armor Swapping with sold items
- Fixed Moon Lord's health bar flickering when he spawns
- Fixed Gravedigger Shovel using two different recipes for Iron and Lead. It now just uses a single AnyIron recipe
- Fixed world names/seeds being able to exceed the size limit of the text box under certain conditions
- Fixed an issue where sorting Chests and then changing directly from that Chest to another Chest (without closing) would maintain the color highlight of the sorted slots
- Fixed an issue where Boss health bars that have scaled health due to multiplayer would have an incorrect display for players joining the server mid fight
- Fixed link buttons on main menu not working on Mac/Linux
- Fixed a bug where the Tongued debuff did not actually give its unique death message if it killed you
- Fixed a minor capitalization issue in the "Web Spit" projectile
- Wasp Gun's tooltip now properly indicates that it penetrates defense (Wasp Gun Wasp Gun)
- Fixed an issue where all of the 3 Shroomite Helmets caused the tooltip damage of weapons they boosted to be slightly inaccurate. It would make the tooltip damage round up by 1 extra, making for a displayed damage that was incorrect compared to the actual amount of damage done. The actual damage done has not changed.
- Fixed a bug where player kills by self-destructing enemies might give a death message for the wrong enemy
- Fixed an issue where the game would not display your dropped coin count if you dropped an inordinately large amount of platinum on death

- Fixed an issue with sloped blocks not syncing their slope changes when sand fell on them in multiplayer

Introduction and Notes from Leinfors

As the 1.4.4 update is highly focused on Quality of Life changes, there is naturally a substantial amount of overlap between some of these QoL changes and balance changes. It's impossible to draw an absolutely definitive line between the two categories, and so there are going to be some duplicate entries which are present both in this section and in the main changelog. Additionally, there are some particularly balance-impacting bugs which warrant being included in the balance section as well. For the sake of information being provided in the places where it is relevant, and given the significant length of the total changelog, we felt it was worth the extra clarity to include these changes in both sections of the changelog.

1.4.4 has the most extensive set of balance changes added in an update, even more so than 1.4 and 1.4.1; furthermore, it includes some of the most technically complicated changes made to weapons and other systems, including a number of reworks and other backend changes which alter the behavior of weapons beyond simple stat changes. Many of these changes delve into some of the more complex mechanics of Terraria's combat and weapon systems, and without taking all of these mechanics into play, some of the changes made may seem confusing, backwards, or unintuitive.

To help newer players get an understanding of some of these mechanics, or perhaps just as a refresher for veteran players, I've included a reference glossary of some of the core mechanics that were impacted, as well as a detailed description of the concept of Piercing Immunity Frames (which feature heavily in many of the changes made). We've included this as a resource for reference, but it is not necessary to read for the changelog, and does not include any changes itself. Feel free to skip the glossary if you'd rather get to the actual changes.


Damage - Literally the damage dealt by an enemy or weapon. The damage listed is reduced by the target's defense stat, and then it will be applied to the enemy or player. There is an inherent randomization effect on all damage dealt, which causes damage to fluctuate slightly both above and below the listed value. However, the average amount of damage done per hit will match the listed damage value.

Critical Chance - Almost all damage sources from the player can inflict Critical damage. A Critical hit will always deal double damage (though it is still subject to defense). No matter what your stats and equipment, the DEFAULT critical chance is always 4%. Certain weapons add a bonus critical chance, and various equipment and buffs can increase it as well. A Critical hit chance that is higher than 100% confers no additional advantage; the player will deal a critical on every hit. Notably, Summon damage does not typically inflict critical hits except under certain special conditions.

Defense - Reduces damage taken. In Classic Mode, and for enemies in every difficulty mode, every 2 points of Defense reduce damage by 1. In Expert, every 1.5 points of Defense reduce player damage by 1. In Master, every point of Defense reduces player damage by 1.

Use Time - The time between swings/uses on a weapon or item. If a weapon has a Use Time of 20, this means that after using a weapon, 20 frames must pass before you can use it again. The lower the number, the faster a weapon is. A higher number is slower. You cannot directly see an item's Use Time number in game, but it is reflected in its speed tooltip (Fast, Very Fast, etc)

Frames (Time) - There are 60 "frames" in every second. If a weapon has a Use Time of 30, then you can use it twice per second (30 + 30 = 60). This impacts some other aspects of gameplay as well, such as Immune Frame times.

Scale - Scale is modifier which can be used to increase the size of weapon sprites, typically swords. The size of swords is normally exactly the same as their sprite, but the scale modifier can make them visually larger in game, which also allows them to reach further distances when hitting enemies. For example, increasing the scale of a weapon from 1 to 1.3x will increase its size and range by roughly 30%.

Knockback - Almost all attacks against enemies inflict knockback. The amount of knockback is increased by a multiplier on a weapon's knockback stat, and then reduced by the enemy's knockback resistance.

Piercing and Pierce Count - The ability for a projectile to continue on after hitting an enemy, and hit additional enemies or to hit the same enemy again. The Pierce count stat indicates how many times a projectile can hit. For example, a pierce count of 5 will allow up to 5 enemies to be hit before the projectile vanishes/stops hitting. Some projectiles have no pierce limit at all.

Piercing Damage Reduction - Some weapons will deal less damage each time they Pierce an enemy. For example, a weapon with a 20% Piercing Damage Reduction modifier will do 20% less every time it pierces. In such a scenario, it might deal 100 damage on the first hit, 80 damage on the second hit, 64 damage on the third hit, and so on.

Defense Penetration - Some player attacks have the ability to "ignore" a certain amount of enemy Defense. This will not directly increase the maximum amount of damage they can do, but it will reduce the effect of enemy's defense. A weapon that penetrates 20 Defense will do full damage with no reduction to any enemy that has up to 20 Defense, after which point, Defense will reduce it normally. Some attacks have a low damage, but a high defense penetration, which ensures that they deal a more consistent amount of damage on enemies of different levels of defense.

Autoswing / AutoReuse - The ability for a weapon to keep firing/swinging if you hold the attack button down. Weapons which do not have Autoswing/AutoReuse will require the button to be pressed again to be used again.

UseTurn - A feature present mostly on certain autoswing swords. If a weapon HAS Use Turn, moving left and right while swinging the sword will make the sword and the player change directions. If a weapon does NOT have Use Turn, the player will continue facing the direction they were when they started swinging.

Minion and Sentry Slots - All Summon Minions and Sentries take up a "slot" to use. Players all have 1 Minion Slot and 1 Sentry Slot available at all times; various buffs and equipment can increase this quantity. With additional slots, the player can summon more active minions or sentries. Some Summon minions grow stronger/bigger when expending extra Minion Slots on them, instead of gaining additional Minions. For example, you only ever have 1 Stardust Dragon, but its size and damage increase with every additional Minion Slot spent on it.

NPC Slots - Enemies all take up a certain number of "slots". At any one time, there is a enemy slot capacity, dictating how many enemies can spawn. Once this slot capacity is reached, most enemies will stop spawning, though it will not forcibly remove enemies over the capacity. Certain factors can increase or decrease this slot cap, such as Blood Moon, Battle Potion, or Calming Potion. Furthermore, some enemies can have a slot count that is higher or lower than 1. Enemies such as bosses or minibosses may take up extra slots since they are more of a threat than regular enemies.

Difficulty Mode (Enemy Stats) - Generally referring to Classic, Expert, and Master mode. Many enemies have different stats depending on the difficulty mode in question, such as increased health or damage. In such a case where something like this is changed, I will often list the changes as 20/40/60, reflecting Classic/Expert/Master stats. Journey mode is not typically going to be listed, as base Journey difficult stats are roughly half of Classic.

Traveling Merchant "Rarity" Tiers - All of the items the Traveling Merchant sells are organized into 6 different "rarity tiers", with items in the higher tiers being more rare than items in the lower tiers. Moving items between tiers will have a significant impact on how commonly he sells them.


Immunity Frames
Overview
- When an enemy is hit by a piercing projectile (a weapon, projectile, or minion that can hit multiple times), the game has to use what is called immunity frames to prevent the enemy from taking damage from the projectile repeatedly every single frame, which could otherwise be as many as 60x hits a second. After hit, the enemy becomes temporarily immune to being hit again, though this duration is almost always measured in fractions of a second, which is more than enough for most projectiles to move through the enemy and be on their way. Particularly slow projectiles may still hit a target multiple times, but their immune frames prevent them from hitting every single frame, so this is within expected behavior. The amount of immune time inflicted by a projectile can be adjusted to make it hit more or less frequently. Immune frame time does not apply to non-piercing attacks (regular bullets, for instance, which only hit once).

Global Immunity - By default, all piercing weapons in the game inflict what is called global immunity when hitting enemies. These enemies become invulnerable to ALL sources of piercing damage, including other types of attacks, for the duration of that period. This period is typically a default of 10 frames (1/6th of a second), but can be changed to allow faster or slower hitting. This was the original implementation of Terraria's immune frame system, though we are shifting away from it over time. An unfortunate consequence of global immunity is that it "blocks" you from doing damage with different types of damage sources. Unless manually set otherwise, all piercing projectiles in the game, especially older ones, use the global immunity system. Many Global Immunity projectiles were balanced around this limitation, doing more damage than they might otherwise if they were not.

Static Immunity - Some piercing projectiles have been changed to use "Static" immunity. This form of immunity will still induce immune time, but this immune time will ONLY block damage from that specific TYPE projectile. Though repeated hits from the same type of piercing projectile during the immunity period will not be able to land, hits from any other type of piercing projectile WILL be able to deal damage. Similar to Global, Static immunity time duration can be changed as needed. Though Static projectiles will not interfere with other sources of damage, there are still scenarios where firing multiple projectiles of the same type will be counter productive. For example, putting Jester Arrows (which inflict Static Immunity) on Tsunami will result in only one of the piercing arrows hitting, because the enemy will be temporarily immune to Jester Arrows as the other arrows pass through. Most projectiles that use static are balanced around this.

Local Immunity - Finally, the third type of piercing projectile behavior is called Local. It will still induce immune time, but this immune time will only apply to the exact specific projectile which did the damage. This means that if you have two of the same type of Summon minion using local immunity, EACH minion will operate on its own independent immune timer, and they will not conflict with each other at all, nor will they block damage from any other sort of piercing damage. Local projectiles will never interfere with your ability to land hits with other projectiles, nor will firing large quantities of a local projectile be inefficient or fail to land hits. However, because the system was not usable for majority of the game's history, almost all piercing weapons were not balanced around it. Because local projectile damage allows for very rapidly scaling damage, changing weapons which currently use Global or Static to use Local often results in an excessive damage boost. As a result, Local is only used in specific circumstances when the boost is acceptable, with new equipment, or with weapons which are being entirely reworked. Simply changing everything to use local would require tremendous reworks to many of the weapons in the game.

Non-Piercing - Technically not a 4th type, projectiles which do not pierce (which is to say, they disappear immediately upon hitting an enemy the first time) are not subject to any of the above systems. They will always deal their damage immediately, without a period of immune frames, as there is no reason for them to use such a system. They are also not impacted by the immune frame time inflicted by other types of piercing projectiles.

Defense Penetration
- (Bug Fix) Fixed a bug where combining more than one sources of defense penetration would cause extra phantom damage ABOVE the base damage of the weapon. This applies to weapons with built-in defense penetration, Ichor/Betsy's Curse, and Sharpening Station

Static Immunity Frames Last Hit
- All piercing projectiles that use static immunity no longer apply immunity on their "final hit", if they are a projectile which expires after enough pierces. This has very little impact on previously existing static immunity projectiles, but is important for several projectiles which are being changed to use static instead of global. Global Immunity projectiles already do this, so this change was made to account for some projectiles which were being changed from global to static, so that they did not receive an accidental damage nerf.

Buff/Debuff Caps
- Player buff/debuff maximum increased from 22 to 44.
- Enemy debuff maximum increased from 5 to 20

Post-Death Invincibility
- Duration increased from 1 to 3 seconds

King Slime
- Now takes up more enemy slots, reducing or outright eliminating additional enemy spawns during his fight (Note that his minions already took up enemy spawn slots, so this was already unlikely once the fight was in full swing). This does not impact Slime Rain spawns.

Brain of Cthulhu (Buff)
- Health increased from 1000 to 1250
- 5% Knockback resistance added across all difficulties (50/55/60% to 55/60/65%)
- Expert/Master illusions now become opaque much faster
- There is now a safe range around the player during Phase 1 to prevent BoC from teleporting directly on top of you (though it can still be extremely close)
- No longer has a map icon during Phase 2

Deerclops
- Now takes up more enemy slots, reducing or outright eliminating enemy spawns during his fight

Wall of Flesh (Nerf)
- Hungries no longer gain a 3rd stat bonus after 25% Wall of Flesh health. They will continue to use the 2nd stat bonus from 50% WoF health for the remainder of the fight.
- Wall of Flesh's tongued debuff pull speed now scales with the boss's speed in Expert/Master, to prevent the Wall from moving faster than it pulls you in at the end of the fight

Queen Slime (Nerf)
- Maximum flight speed and acceleration in Phase 2 have been reduced by about 15%
- Queen Slime's minion projectile damage reduced from 30/80/150 to 30/68/120
- These same projectiles now generate some light to be more visible at night
- Now takes up more enemy slots, reducing or outright eliminating additional enemy spawns during his fight (Note that her minions already took up enemy spawn slots, so this was already unlikely once the fight was in full swing)

Plantera
- Increased distance before despawn timer begins ticking down dramatically.
- Note: Plantera has a despawn distance and a timer. The despawn timer resets if she re-enters active range. This change increased the active range substantially. It is still possible to despawn her via evasion and distance, but should be much more difficult to do by accident.

Golem (Buff)
- Golem Body health increased from 9000 to 15000
- Golem Head health increased from 16000 to 25000
- Golem Fists health increased from 7000 to 10000
- Now charges its punches with a visual effect for half a second before firing them.
- Golem's Fists can no longer be deflected.
- Now takes up more enemy slots, reducing or outright eliminating enemy spawns during his fight

Duke Fishron (Buff)
- Health increased from 50,000 to 60,000
- Health scaling factor in Expert/Master increased from 1.6x to 1.65x
- Final Health values have increased from 50k/60k/76.5k to 60k/78k/99k
- Now invincible immediately after being summoned, and during his phase transitions
- Fixed an issue where Duke Fishron's Cthulhunado would sometimes instantly spawn on the player and hurt them, unavoidably. It should now spawn a certain distance below the player if there is no floor or platforms directly below, allowing the player time to avoid it
- When Enraged, Duke Fishron is much faster, and fires more frequent and faster Cthulhunados

Empress of Light
- Fixed a issue where Empress of Light would sometimes teleport directly on top of the player after an attack
- Now takes up more MANY more enemy slots, reducing or outright eliminating enemy spawns during her fight. However, if you exit her effective spawn prevention range during the fight, enemies may spawn during the lapse of enemy slot coverage.

Daytime Empress of Light, Skeletron, Skeletron Prime, and Dungeon Guardian (Buff)
- "Instant kill" attacks will no longer be avoided by Dodge procs such as Hallowed Armor or Master Ninja Gear

Lunatic Cultist (Buff)
- Health scaling factor in Expert/Master increased from 1.25 to 1.5
- Final Health values have increased from 32k/40k/51k to 32k/48k/61k
- Ancient Light projectiles are no longer instantly killed, but actually take some damage to kill, and will be targeted by homing projectiles, soaking up some of your damage.

Moon Lord (Nerf)
- Phantasmal Sphere damage reduced by 20%
- Phantasmal Sphere hitbox size reduced slightly
- Will now always drop 2 non-identical weapons

Projectile Reflecting Enemies (Large Mimics, Selenians) (Nerf)
- Reflected Projectiles now only deal half-damage to the player
- Reflected Projectiles no longer scale and deal extra damage in Expert/Master mode.

Teleporting Enemies (Teleporting Casters, Chaos Elementals, and Nebula Floaters) (Nerf)
- The protection radius around the player preventing them from teleporting directly onto you has been increased substantially
- The game will now also take your speed and direction into account when you are moving, and will further attempt to prevent these enemies from spawning directly in your path without time to react. However, this system is not absolute and only gives some extra distance, so it is still possible to crash into a recently teleported enemy if you do not alter course or are moving very fast.
- The protection radius around the player is even higher for Chaos Elementals and Nebula Floaters due to their not being stationary

Lifeform Analyzer Rarities
- A number of enemies rare enough to show up on the Lifeform Analyzer have had their rarity levels changed to give proper priority based on enemies which they co-exist with. For example, Dye Beetles have been reduced to Rarity 1, so that any higher Rarity enemy will take priority on the display.
- Voodoo Demons are now also listed on the Lifeform Analyzer

Pumpkin Moon and Frost Moon (Rework)
- Pumpkin Moon can now go up to Wave 20. Wave point requirements for Waves 15-20 match Frost Moon.
- Pumpkin Moon's wave composition has been completely rearranged to account for this.
- Pumpkin Moon bosses are now capped in number, more closely resembling the behavior of Frost Moon bosses
- Increased the number of enemy slots taken up by Mourning Wood and Pumpking, to be more in line with Frost Moon bosses, dramatically reducing how many can spawn at a time
- All regular enemies in Pumpkin/Frost Moon now have low per-player Health scaling in Expert/Master multiplayer. The boss units already had scaling.
- Pumpkin Moon trophies now drop using Frost Moon drop rates, instead of dropping from 100% of Wave 15 kills.
- Pumpkin Moon boss drop-rate-by-wave multiplier has been reduced, though drops are still more common than Frost Moon levels. This is partly to account for having a higher wave cap, though drops are still slightly less common than before.
- Both Pumpkin Moon and Frost Moon's "expert drop bonus" modifier has been reduced slightly, with the base drop rates being increased by the same amount. The end result is that Classic mode drops are slightly more generous, while Expert drop rates stay the same. (This is after taking Pumpkin Moon's previous change into account)
- Both Pumpkin Moon and Frost Moon now receive a 2.5x point multiplier when playing in Master mode. Previously, they received a 2x multiplier in Expert, but no additional gain in Master.
- (Bug) Fixed Flocko and Krampus not giving wave progression for Frost Moon
- (Bug) Fixed a very old bug where Frost Moon Waves 2, 3, and 4 required way too few points to complete

Poltergeist (Rework)
- Can now fly freely into the air, not just on the ground
- Health reduced from 2000 to 1250
- Pumpkin Moon wave progression points increased from 8 to 10
- Due to increased number present in the event, increased the kill count needed for a banner

Splinterling (Buff)
- Health increased from 900 to 1200
- Due to increased number present in the event, increased the kill count needed for a banner
- Reduced base Spooky Wood drop count due to increased numbers of Splinterlings killed per Pumpkin Moon. However, due to the faster point gain in Expert/Master, they now have bonus drop quantities in Expert and Master.

Hellhound (Buff)
- Health increased from 1200 to 1800
- Pumpkin Moon wave progression points increased from 4 to 5
- Due to increased number present in the event, increased the kill count needed for a banner

Headless Horseman (Buff)
- Health reduced from 10000 to 5000.
- Can now fire a pumpkin projectile at the player
- Pumpkin Moon wave progression points increased from 25 to 50
- Now has the same Health scaling as Pumpking and Mourning Wood in Expert/Master multiplayer

Mourning Wood (Buff)
- Health increased from 12000 to 14000
- Defense increased from 28 to 34
- Increased the number of enemy slots taken, to be more in line with Frost Moon bosses, dramatically reducing how many can spawn at a time
- Reduced base Spooky Wood drop count. However, due to the faster point gain in Expert/Master, they now have bonus drop quantities in Expert and Master.

Pumpking (Buff)
- Health increased from 22000 to 26000
- Defense increased from 36 to 40
- Increased the number of enemy slots taken, to be more in line with Frost Moon bosses, dramatically reducing how many can spawn at a time

Old One's Army
- Etherian Lightning Bugs now spawn in OOA Tier 3 Wave 6 instead of Wyverns
- The Eternia Crystal now has 2x as much health on Expert and 3x as much health on Master.

Martian Saucer
- Increased the hitbox size of the core in Phase 2

Dreadnautilus (Rework)
- Charge attack has less tracking and a wider turning radius, meaning it is easier to avoid
- Projectiles are now no longer blocked by tiles
- Projectiles are more lit up/visible at night

Blood Squid (Nerf)
- Health reduced from 1000 to 750
- Projectile damage reduced from 100 to 70
- Projectiles are more lit up/visible at night

Hemogoblin Shark
- Projectiles are more lit up/visible at night

Clowns (Nerf)
- Damage of Chattering Teeth Bomb reduced from 200 to 120
- Damage of Happy Bombs reduced from 160 to 120
- Happy Bombs now glow, making them easier to see
- Chattering Teeth Bombs now have a sound effect when spawned and occasionally played passively, helping the player to be aware of them
- Clown's drop pool has also been overhauled:
- Is now the sole source of KO Cannon, having a 1/5 chance to drop it
- Bananarang drop rate has been increased from 1/30 to 1/10 (See Bananarang for other changes to this item)
- Bloody Tear drop rate increased from 1/100 to 1/10 (like other uncommon Blood Moon enemies)

Antlion Larvae (Nerf)
- Defense reduced from 4 to 2
- Health reduced from 35 to 30
- Maximum speed slightly reduced, particularly when jumping

Giant Antlion Chargers (Nerf)
- Defense reduced from 22 to 16

Giant Antlion Swarmers (Nerf)
- Defense reduced from 18 to 12

Tomb Crawlers (Nerf)
- Defense of body segments reduced from 16 to 12
- Defense of tail segment reduced from 20 to 14

Tomb Crawlers and Dune Splicers (Nerf)
- Spawn rates reduced
- In the upper levels of the Desert, there is a further reduction in spawn rates

Rolling Cacti (Nerf)
- Damage reduced from 90 to 70

Jellyfish (Buff)
- Expert Electric Shock attack now applies to projectile contact weapons (Spears, Shortswords, Solar Eruption, Sleepy Octopod, Sky Dragon's Fury, and Whips)

Snow Flinx
- Snow Flinxes now have a more consistent spawn rate on Ice/Snow. Previously, was incapable of spawning on Snow or Ice under most conditions.

Lost Girl
- Instead of their spawn rate decreasing in Hardmode, it stays the same the entire game. This means that their Hardmode spawn rate has changed from 1/200 to 1/80
- Base money drop value reduced from 5 to 2 Gold

Bone Serpents (Buff)
- Head/Body/Tail Damage increased from 30/15/10 to 36/20/16
- Head/Body Defense increased from 10/12 to 12/18. Tail unchanged.
- Health increased from 250 to 300
- Movement speed increased
- Further stat bonuses specifically on FTW and Everything Seed

Rune Wizard
- Spawn rate increased from 1/300 to 1/200

Rock Golems (Nerf)
- Now throw rocks less frequently and the rocks move a little slower as well
- Spawn rate reduced
- Base money drop value reduced from 5 to 2.5 Gold
- Rock Golem Head drops twice as often to account for the rarity change

Giant Fungi Bulbs (Nerf)
- Will no longer fire at you if they do not have line of sight
- Projectiles can no longer move through walls, and will break on impact with blocks

Gastropods (Nerf)
- Now have some built in inaccuracy when firing, reducing their likelihood of hitting the player from long distances

Cursed Hammer and Crimson Axe (Buff)
- Fixing a long standing inconsistency in their spawn code, that resulted in them being dramatically rarer than Enchanted Swords. They should be about as common as Enchanted Swords now, particularly notably with Crimson Axes, which were impacted more severely by the inconsistency.

Desert Spirits (Nerf)
- Projectile damage reduced from 80/120/180 to 60/88/132

Jungle Creeper (Nerf)
- Defense reduced from 40 to 28

Moss Hornets
- Now has a chance to drop Stingers

Necromancers and Ragged Casters (Nerf)
- Now has a grace period of over a second after teleportation before they begin firing. (This is the same as what Diabolists always had)

All Celestial Pillars
- Expert/Master worlds no longer have an increased Celestial Pillar kill requirement. They need 100 now like Classic Difficulty Worlds.
- Upon defeating Moon Lord, Lunar Pillars now require only 50 kills to lower the Pillar shields (applies in all difficulties)

Solar Crawltipedes (Nerf)
- Head damage reduced from 150 to 120
- Body damage reduced from 100 to 80

Solar Corites (Nerf)
- Spawn rate reduced by half
- Should no longer charge at the player from significantly off screen
- Now have a brief wind up animation before their charge, giving more notice
- Charge speed is slightly slower

Nebula Floaters (Nerf)
- Now have a 0.5 second delay after teleportation during which they cannot fire
- Counter-teleportation chance reduced from 1/4 to 1/6
- The maximum number of active Nebula Floaters at any one time increased from 2 to 3
- The spawn rate of Nebula Floaters has been doubled, though they cannot exceed their unit cap

Nebula Predictors
- The maximum number of active Nebula Predictors at any one time increased from 2 to 3

Nebula Brain Sucklers
- Spawn rate has been reduced by 40%. Unlike other Nebula enemies, Brain Sucklers have no unit cap, and so will still be the most common enemy overall. This change helps ensure that a decent number other units are spawning up to their unit cap regularly, with the remaining spawns being Brain Sucklers.

Vortex Alien Queens (Rework)
- Walk and chasing speed increased significantly
- Projectile speed reduced

Vortex Alien Larvae
- Now included in the Alien Queen family "cap". For context: the game has a cap on how many Alien Hornets and Alien Queens could be in play, to prevent evolving Queens from becoming too numerous. However, Larvae were not part of that cap, and so could spawn and evolve up into Hornets/Queens normally, eventually creating overwhelming numbers. After this change, Alien Larvae simply won't spawn on Queen death once this internal limit is reached.

Vortex Portals (Both Hornet Portals and Vortexian Portals)
- Now makes a more distinct sound when spawning, giving the player notice that it is present
- Vortexian Portals make a more pronounced sound when firing, again, to give audio feedback about the threat

Storm Diver (Buff)
- Improved its air mobility, to better keep up with the player
- Widened its firing angle
- Firing rate dramatically increased
- Minimum delay before first shot reduced
- Projectile speed increased
- One of its projectiles is always accurate
- Added a visual effect just prior to firing to give advanced warning to the player

Stargazers
- Beam now has a half second "charge up" beam effect, giving players a chance to react and avoid the incoming beam of damage. The actual duration of the damage period remains the same.

Large Stardust Cells (Buff)
- Knockback resistance increased from 50% to 70%
- Are now faster when chasing the player

Milkyway Weavers (Buff)
- Movement speed increased by 50%
- Periodically stops chasing to spawn a new Stardust enemy after a few seconds of charging

All "Broadswords" (Buff)
- All broadsword-class melee weapons (this also includes pickaxes, axes, hammers, and hamaxes) now use local immunity frames on hit. Very notably, this means that projectile swords will no longer block their own piercing projectiles from hitting a target at point blank range. It will also result in more consistent hitting when mixing multiple sources of damage (Piercing minions and swords, for example)

All Flails (Buff)
- Knockback when spinning flails has been increased from 25% to 35% of normal knockback
- Spinning flails now hit up to 4 times a second instead of 3 times a second. Flails which already hit 4 times a second have been increased to 5 times a second.

Copper Broadsword (Buff)

- Projectile speed bonus now also increases speed gained from ammo. Previously, it only increased the bow's projectile speed value.

Philosopher's Stone and Charm of Myths (Rework)

As long as you are wearing it, your effective remaining cooldown is reduced. This means that it you wear it for half of a minute and then remove it, you will only reduce 7.5 seconds from the total cooldown instead of 15.

Amazing. Simply amazing. It will be a joy to read all of that.

I truly want to thank each and every member of Redigit, the community staff, and the community itself for eleven wonderful years of Terraria. I had never in my wildest dreams thought that there could be such a devoted, attentive, and loving game developer out there, but here we are.

To quote the Dryad,
