Terraria State of the Game - May 2024
The Re-Logic team is beyond ecstatic to reveal that our little dev team family has grown by two with the official addition of jopojelly and Kazzymodus! Just who are these new Re-Logic team members and what will/have they be working on? Let's find out!
Kazzymodus has been a beta-tester for Terraria for more than five years, having experienced the development of 1.4 - still known as 1.3.6 at the time - onward first-hand from start to soon-to-be finish. During that time they've tested a great deal of content, weeding out a lot of issues before it ends up in your collective hands, as well as giving feedback and suggestions to make sure any new (and old!) content is the best it can be. Now in charge of Quality Assurance, they're doing their best to make your 1.4.5 experience as smooth and bug-free as possible! ---
Jopojelly became involved in tModLoader during its infancy and quickly became integral in making mods and adding new features to tModLoader. He has always strived to make the experiences of both using mods and making mods better. Rather than make new content himself, jopojelly focused on guiding millions of tModLoader players in experiencing modded content through his quality of life mods Recipe Browser, Boss Checklist, and Census - to name a few. These mods help make players aware of all the awesome bosses, items, and town NPCs added by other mods they have installed so that they can experience them all. Jopojelly will continue to work on collaborating with the tModLoader community on adding new features and bug fixes to tModLoader.
The latest in the handful of transformations coming to Terraria 1.4.5, the Rat Transformation will let you climb walls and squeak into small spaces!

Lots of bug fixing, some balance work, and a few fun inventory management QoL ideas that we hope work out...
Hello everyone! The tModLoader team and our amazing community of contributors continues to improve tModLoader. On June 1st the monthly update release of tModLoader will go live. This month's release contains several UI fixes and stability fixes. This month we've fixed a few UI issues: some fixes for the ModPacks feature, some UI fixes for multiplayer connections, and a UI fix for Mod Browser / downloading mods. Modders and users should also keep an eye out for our monthly Steam announcement on the 1st where a complete listing of bug fixes and API changes for this month's release will be listed. The in-game news button on the main menu will direct you directly to the announcement once it is live. As always, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our FAQ on github or reach out to us at our Discord.
The TML Steam Workshop has over 6000 mods for you to enjoy! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!
More features, continuing to evolve and grow what TML can do... and getting ready for 1.4.5. As always, you can keep track the current progress and much more in real time at tModLoader/tModLoader (But note that the completion percentage doesn't mean anything, because issues and PRs don't have weights.) Developers who are willing to contribute may do so by doing PRs to the tModLoader/tModLoader branch. (See tModLoader/tModLoader)
Another month of keeping pace while also tackling some console/mobile specific issues (more on that in a moment) has gone by and we are as excited as ever! Even managing to get a little crossplay progress done in the background. That said, you came for the spoilers so here they are!
We wanted to show off the new Rat Transformation as well - so we hope you enjoy seeing this different spin on this month's spoiler!
We have also been hard at work in an attempt to simplify and clarify Control Banners (the little areas that show button mappings on screen). This has been a complaint we have heard from many Terrarians, so we hope this helps - and makes more sense - than the current version. Let's dive into some details! KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS ALL VERY WORK IN PROGRESS AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE!
In the live version of the game, a control banner at the bottom of the screen displays every single binding. --- Because absolutely everything is listed here, it forces players to fish for specific actions. This takes a considerable amount of time and slows gameplay down, as it creates a disconnect between where the controls are displayed versus where the player is looking. To address this, we started by splitting the bottom banner off into several dedicated ones. At the moment these exist in the following places:
Bottom of the screen. This is primarily for a few general items which are not context-specific. At the moment we are working to shorten this, as it is still somewhat long (in part because all bindings display now, regardless of whether a modifier trigger is held). Up near the minimap & state display - contains smart cursor, map options, chat options, and the like. Next to the hotbar - contains anything related to the inventory, as well as information for hotbar swapping
At the bottom of inventory pages - these contain bindings that you would normally perform in the inventory, such as splitting a stack and others. --- On top of this, however, weve also started placing certain bindings in bespoke areas
If a Switch to Hotbar #X binding exists, we display it over the respective hotbar slot.
If an inventory binding exists for something that has a side button (such as Quick Stack or Tools), then we display it below the button. We are hoping these make certain actions clearer to players, and allow more focus to go towards gameplay and less on figuring out what each button does. --- Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!

Expect more stretch goals and information to come out along the way, this is one you will want to keep an eye on and definitely not one to miss!

Hello everyone! We tried to have an update on the new international shipping system integration and the re-opening of orders ready in time for today's State of the Game, but we ran into some last minute technical issues that we want to iron out first. Most important is ensuring the best possible customer experience when we open up the gates. When we reopen, we will unveil the issue 6 materials and this time, they will be in stock as we begin taking orders, so we will be able to ship new orders without delay. Won't be much longer - we figure it will be sometime next week, barring any more last minute problems. Stay tuned!!!
In celebration of Terraria's 13th Birthday, the amazing Terrarians over at the Terraia Discord server sent us a whole pile of creative and heartfelt birthday cards! We wanted to say thank you so much to each person that took the time to create a card and to the Discord admin team for pulling it all together.
We definitely appreciate all of you more than we could ever express - thanks!!!

Greetings Terrarians!
Summer is finally here - well for some of us at least. We are greatly enjoying the warmer temperatures and the chance to get outside a lot more. Of course, development work remains at a steady pace as we draw ever-closer to Terraria 1.4.5. In the meantime, we hope that you enjoyed the 13th Anniversary celebration (and re-release of 1.1) earlier this month... and that you are looking forward to the upcoming board game as much as we are! 2024 is nearly half-done, and we are quite excited about what the rest of the year has in store for Terrarians everywhere.
With that out of the way, let's dip our toes into this month's pool of Terraria news!

TERRARIA 1.4.5 - THE RE-LOGIC FAMILY GROWS!
The Re-Logic team is beyond ecstatic to reveal that our little dev team family has grown by two with the official addition of jopojelly and Kazzymodus! Just who are these new Re-Logic team members and what will/have they be working on? Let's find out!
KAZZYMODUS
Kazzymodus has been a beta-tester for Terraria for more than five years, having experienced the development of 1.4 - still known as 1.3.6 at the time - onward first-hand from start to soon-to-be finish. During that time they've tested a great deal of content, weeding out a lot of issues before it ends up in your collective hands, as well as giving feedback and suggestions to make sure any new (and old!) content is the best it can be. Now in charge of Quality Assurance, they're doing their best to make your 1.4.5 experience as smooth and bug-free as possible! ---
