Is Terraria a rip-off of Minecraft?

[hwp141]

So, I was playing Minecraft at 8:47 PM (I barely ever do now after i got Terraria.) Then out of nowhere this guy calls me a hacker after beating him in a fight. I then say no wonder i don't play minecraft anymore (Probably because so many people start flamewars in servers.) Then he was like Seriously Terraria? Then I was like yes, Terraria. Then he said (imagine him doing this in a very critical voice) " Terraria is a rip-off of Minecraft." I then got in a huge argument (by which he was actually fighting dirty in this flame.) He said "Everything in Terraria is an EXACT rip-off of Minecraft.
Crafting= Minecraft
Armour= Minecraft
Building= Minecraft (He also said Terraria wasn't innovated)
Then I say, there are a lot of games that craft, have different armour, and you can build, so why do you pick on TERRARIA out of all those games. So this raises the question I have today: Is Terraria a rip-off of Minecraft (He said it's a fact it is but I say it's an opinion) Also, have a nice day, night, or evening whereever you are in the world!!!

Also, RBreaper do you want a copy of the book. Just a little spoiler. Also, be warned ( It's unedited)

and PS i dont like spoilers, id rather read 1 big book in one session, than read a litle bit that gives away parts of it

Ok! Just asking. Yeah, but seriously if any of you are authors and play terraria just do a little research up on it depending on your story. It's not really fair minecraft gets all the attention in my opinion. Also there probably should be books on how to help you in the game, as it is harder than an Orespawn mod in Minecraft.

Terraria being a rip off of Minecraft is like saying modern rifles are ripoffs of flintlocks, its the same thing but with different mechanisms.

tons of games have crafting, does that mean the forest, craft the world, this war of mine, dead rising, unturned, farsky, don't starve, and skyrim, are all Minecraft clones as well? no..

tons of games have armor, craft the world, unturned, elder scrolls, wow, chivalry, about any medevil game ever, or rpg, has armor, so they are minecraft clones as well??.

tons of games have building, like tons of tons.

Terraria is focused on fighting and exploring when minecraft is focused on building...

very different games, and anyone who says otherwise never played the two longer then 10 minutes...

I believe Terraria was influenced by Minecraft greatly but they have grown apart quite a bit,
Terraria has much more content/bosses/mobs. also there are A BUNCH of games that are minecraft clones, example:?
3079, 3089, 7 Ways to Die, 8BitMMO, Ace of Spades, Aetherius, Avarice, BlackVoxel, BlockadeRunner, Blockscape, Blockland, Brick Force, CastleMiner, Castlestory, Corneroids Cubelands, Cube World, Detonate, Dysis, Dyvox, Freebooter, Galaxy55,
Gnomescroll, Guncraft, Infiniminer, Iron Cube, Kleaveland, Kogama, Lords of Uberdark Manic Digger, Masterspace, MaK, Minicraft, Minetest-c55, Mythruna, Patterns Roblox,Scrumbleships StarForge, StarMade, StoneQuest, Timber and Stone, Terasology, Terraformer, Warspace Worlds, Wurm Online....

and most of which are much bigger clones then Terraria, so tell this guy he must be trippin. Terraria is an amazing game full of wonders and fun

It's 7 Days to Die, not 7 Ways to Die.

I don't think so. The two games are both superficially and mechanically different. Minecraft and Terraria co-evolved, if anything. Terraria was clearly inspired by minecraft and people expressed a lot of skepticism while it was still in alpha because of this.

However, it went an entirely different direction with linear progression, boss fights and Action RPG gameplay while Minecraft was still unsure whether it wanted to be a sandbox builder or an open-world RPG. When Terraria became popular, MC leaned further and further in the direction Terraria had gone in and copied some mechanics. I suppose it is only fair, since Terraria borrowed plenty of ideas from MC.

I haven't played the game for three years until now, but this is how I remember things.

Opinion time: MC's implementation of RPG mechanics is grindy and unrewarding, and I had a lot more fun when the game was solely about building expansive projects unhindered by the need to gather resources. I'm glad there's a creative mode, because while Minecraft is one of the best sandboxes there is, I feel that Terraria is a better game.

Yes. Terraria is clearly a rip off of mine craft. I mean it's obvious right? I mean there's so many simularities, like skeletons and blocks! Which is also what Super Mario Brothers has in it. I think it's a rip off of Super Mario Brothers.

Its not. Obviously its your opinion and my opinion but most people will say its not.

This just makes no sense. Seriously, Terraria and Minecraft are both awesome games, I like both, and as I actually play a lot of both, I have the right to say that theses games are completely different. They have different styles, mechanics, objectives, emphasis, community, etc.

Just to make clear I play a lot of both but I've played minecraft for 3/4 years and terraria for 1 year so I'm not an expert on Terraria, so I'll put here what I think of Minecraft and if someone out there is an expert on Terraria, please share what you think of it.

Minecraft today is not focused on anything, even thought many of you may say "it's a survival game, that's all".
In Minecraft today you are able to, well, play survival of course, but also you are able to creative worlds where you can build anything you want without having to get theses items, and even more, Minecraft allows you to install mods (modifications made in the minecraft code) or make your own mods, or play on a server which make theses modifications in the code only for the server-side so you don't have to install anything.

Also, Minecraft has a great community in general. I know that some of you may think "ugh but I was in a server and theses guys just rage on me" but this is simply a guy raging on a server and happens in every single game. If you see the Minecraft forum, the youtubers, or r/minecraft (reddit) you'll see that you can find a lot of useful stuff and help.
Also probably when I said "youtuber" you just thought about that guy SkyDoesMinecraft. I'm not talking about him anyways, but on guys like xisumavoid which shows awesome and useful redstone mechanisms and "minecraft science" videos explaining a bit about how the game works.

It's seriously a lot to say about it but I'll type just that. If you have any questions about Minecraft you can ask me and I'll be sure to answer you.

saying terraria is a rip off of minecraft is stupid. there are some similarities, but inly the very bsics. i dont know about you, but ive never fought the eye of chthulu in minecrft, and i've never installed a mod in terraria. the main difference is the 2d and 3d aspecs. it completely changes the game.
