[SammyLitch]

Been completely out of the loop on terraria, whats new? worth jumping in? give me some knowledge terraria peeps

[TotallyLenix]

Worth it imo, they've added alot since 2017, I can't name them all but you can check it out on the wiki

[TheTrUeLegend562]

you should find out for yourself man, but trust youll get stuck in the grind its so fun

[SammyLitch]

I'll have to have a check around and maybe boot it up, vanilla is fine as is? or are mods suggested? like QoL stuff?
Is there something like insane that you didn't expect to be added in say the last 4 years?

Shimmer liquid <--- This is something new, if you wanna know it then reveal it, if you don't want spoilers don't

Edit: I usually play without any mods, vanilla is perfectly fine as it is, it's up to you though

In 2020 a major update was released called Journey's End , it introduced a LOT , lots of things that were planned to be in the next terraria game which never got made , instead they got passed back to the original.

You can see more about it here https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/there-back-again-a-summary-of-journeys-end.87997/

In 2022 they released another huge update , the labor of love update (after terraria won the labor of love steam award in 2021 thanks to the Journey's end update) https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/terraria-labor-of-love-is-out-now.114357/

Sadly the Labor of love update brought with it the merch , and the merch has not stopped , now we get more updates about "buy this merch" than we do actual game patches , they have been working on a promised update/crossover with dead cells since 2022 , every year we hear that this is the year it is released and it never is (this year for sure).

But even though they went downhill fast after the labor of love update the stuff added by it and the journey's end update are all still very good and worth checking out If you haven't played since 2017, there are many new things to discover but you might not find them all without a guide of some sort.

If you want to do it without help I would suggest looking at the in game quest log and aiming for the achievements , they will give you an idea of what new things are added.

999 stacks are now 9999 and they've reworked some weapons like the True Night's Edge and Terra Blade. There's various seed worlds you start, such as For the Worthy or Celebration which my be old now, I forget.

At this point you might as well wait for 1.4.5, which is probably releasing this year. That said, if you don't want to wait, it is indeed worthwhile to jump back in right now; there have been quite a few additions since 2017.

I'd say that the most notable updates you've missed are:

• 1.4.0.1: Journey's End (Huge! Many new features!)[terraria.wiki.gg]
  
• 1.4.1 (Lots of balance tweaks, plus some vanity sets from a design contest)[terraria.wiki.gg]
  
• 1.4.3: An Eye for an Eye (Don't Starve crossover content)[terraria.wiki.gg]
  
• 1.4.4: Labor of Love (Huge! Again! Fewer new features than in Journey's End, but hundreds of new blocks and items)[terraria.wiki.gg]

Edit: As for your followup question, I recommend playing vanilla. The only mod you might want is Magic Storage, if you're very lazy about organizing your storage chests. I don't think it's necessary, though, personally.

[TaterTot]

Too much. Try playing and find out :)

[TaterTot]

HOwever if you have to ask clearly you dont know what you want to do or like..... Only you cant help yourself.

thanks for the info everyone! really appreciate it! I will probably play a little bit while waiting for the new update if it comes out this year, I don't want to burn out on it while its still being updated
