I've played Terraria for over 10 years but I've yet to make any sort of guide on how to play, so I created 'Terraria Beginner's Guide for 2023 (1.4 Journey's End PC, Mobile & Console)' In this video, I'll show you the basics of building, crafting & exploring in Terraria! Terraria is a lot like Minecraft but the game can be quite jarring if you go in thinking it's the same so let me give you some guidance. The version I'm playing is Terraria 1.4 Journey's End on PC but this guide will also work for Playstation, Xbox, Switch, iPhone and Android.

I've played Terraria for over 10 years but never created a Beginner's Guide so that changes today! With the launch of 1.4 Journey's End on console in 3 days I thought I'd make something for new players or maybe even a refresher for those that haven't played in many years

Ooga booga
Hey, just wanna say hi
Im not going to whach it cuz i want a challenge
I remember when I "explained" to my friends how to play terraria, I just summoned bosses and tell them "that statue that you built made the boss angry" or "you shouldn't have killed that squirrel, now a boss will appear"
Things got even better when I got an announcement box...
That's funny but your mean
☠️
Oof
Friend: kills bunny
Terraria: IMPENDING DOOM APPROACHES
Lmao
not gonna lie i've made up events like 'A lunar eclipse is happening!' and turning on one of those endgame pillar things and then my friends look it up on the wiki and i laugh in their faces
Me, who has played Terraria since launch: "mmm yes, I need to watch this guide"
Same lol
I can relate xD
Me, who hasn't played Terraria since launch but did kill moonlord over 20 times with a zenith: "mmm yes, I need to watch this guide"
Same LOL
Didn't play since launch but can still relate, started around 2014.
But even if we don't need it: Chippy uploads, we gotta watch it! 😄
little tip to add at the beginning part when building a house: you can press CTRL when placing the walls & it will automatically fill in all the space within the blocks without going outside. also, workbench counts as a "table" for an NPC to move into your home, so you can just make a chair and set it next to the workbench to save on resources in early game :3
This so much!
thank u so much dawg 🙏🙏
:3
how do you destroy walls though?
@@NexSDC pickaxe! i had a similar issue when i first started recently lol
long time minecraft player and always curious about playing terraria but got really intimidated by it, this video made me way less intimidated! very helpful guide
Did captainsparklez playing it finally, gave you the courage?
I agree
@@newbiesama i did not even know he still plays minecraft 😂
@@newbiesamawhy y gotta be a dick
same
I haven’t played terraria in literally years but I got back into it yesterday and I played for 5 hours straight without even realizing it it was one of the best times I’ve had gaming in a long time
It is one of the best games ever made. Too bad they made it suckier with npc happiness. I also don't like evil biome spreading in HM, but the NPC happiness just puts me off.
@@andrejz8954the way I see it personally is as things being more expensive being an additional challenge, also just mod the game with an instant house item and place it in their respective biome if you want, you always explore anyway and it’s extra traversal when you get pylons!
Going to try now!!!!!! Starting late, however seems like a lot of content. Woohoo!! Looks like a gem from most experience with mobile games
I wish that the team had ported over the tutorial world from console and mobile into desktop. Even though you're left on your own building a house to survive the night, it was a great way to learn the basics.
The best part of those worlds were the little hidden details and secrets it truly keeps the spirit of the game even at its essentials
@@whatthewhatthe9117 Yeah. I remember a strange quirk of the mobile tutorial world where there was a chest containing a bomb with the large modifier.
Back in 1.2 mobile there was a tutorial and it did a good job and was quite unique compared to the normal terraria worlds.
Maybe when they try to make all the versions the same now that journeys end is out. Might be a stretch to think they would though idk
That is what TH-cam is for. 😉
12:45 - 14:20 is a sponsor section
Some to keep in mind
1)The guide is actually VERY USEFUL for new players cuz he can show what can be made with a specific material that you showed him.
He also got some new and more useful dialogues in recent updates that can also help new players
2)Ummmm..... Hermes boots and grappling hooks are really useful for mobility....... that's all I gonna say.
3)If you're super focused on the first boss,I recommend crafting platforms since it makes a good boss arena and increases your mobility
4) DON'T GO TO UNDERGROUND DESERT if you don't have good gear
5) Toilets are amazing,even more amazing if you attach it to some wires and a switch
I just bought the game, what the fuck am I hearing?
@@Sboooose same I have no idea what to do🥲
I was literally about to walk into an underground desert with just a wooden sword 😂
3) And CAMPFIRES! Possibly (later) heart lanterns and honey-pools!
Simply changes the title every new year to keep it the most recent guide. What a legend
So I know the guide is generally hated but you didn't mention the function he performs that was by far the most helpful thing for me as a new player to learn the game: the crafting recipe function where you can see ALL the recipes any material can be used in. There are far more materials than there is space in your inventory so when you don't know what you can make it's incredibly helpful.
Thanks, now I can teach my friends how to play by doing absolutely nothing!
Literally same
lol
Litterly bouta send this to my friend he gets terraria in 2 days
I'm not a dev, but I feel so proud to see new babies of the community grow :)
Same lol
yeah i won't lie it's quite overwhelming seeing the amount of stuff in this game but I'm excited to learn nonetheless :)
@@nuggetlovesall222 do u guys pay the game in order to play with it
@@ariffiskandar3477 Does it really matter? As long as people are trying it out and possibly enjoying it, it's all good! Better than mindlessly hating on Terraria like certain Minecraft players.
4:10 I would strongly disagree. In 1.4 they added SO MUCH new dialogue that helps you progress. You may not like him, he may be pretty useless for advanced players but it can be insanely helpful for begginers
Great video! I always appreciate your content
i always use him to figure out a crafting recipe i forgot. so he isnt useless. i have over 400 hours
He is the npc I keep closest
Agreed! The guide is very helpful for figuring out what you can craft in the game without always needing to have the wiki brought up, which I suspect for mobile gamers is a nice thing, not to mention that switch users (when it finally updates for us) might be playing it on the go outside of a wifi bubble.
He might be an idiot for letting zombies in, but damn is he knowledgeable!
@@Drangelon true
Agreed! Also being able to check crafting recipes without hsving look at the wiki is super useful, and that's from someone with around 1500 hours. You never remember everything, and its a good thing to not have to grind more then necessary, also finding "new" recipes you forgot happens every now and then.
Im so excited to play this update, my friends were waiting for so long!!!
More than a year
As a pc player I feel so bad for console players who have to wait this long.
Thank goodness I'll be playing on a bigger screen
will it have crossplay??? i mean, every plataform will have the same version
@@_KillerD_ not yet later They said that they first make console 1.4 after that comes the party thing and with that we get crossplay
This game holds much love and nostalgia to me, because I remember playing it with my stepbrother and sister all the time when we were younger. There was a time when the three of us played split screen on the ol 360, and it’s kinda making me tear up. One time we were trying to kill WOF and they both died and I finished him off with my mini shark at one HP. I miss what life used to be 😪😪😞
“Stepbro I’m stuck”
@Lily Nguyen bro he was being wholesome and shi 😂😂
well then make life better
@@TheTGOAC easier said than done, I’m afraid
Same. I don't play it for the last 5 years or so, but when I did, I would play it all day long and had one of the best times of my entire life. Too bad it's all in the past now..
Even tho I've been playing this game for years I'm still gonna learn something new chippy just an expert man
yo, how r u teeny tiny?
@@beeznutz8017 good how about u man
@@Pondollo737 good waitin for console 1.4
@@beeznutz8017 same cannot wait
@@Pondollo737 I love teeny tiny golem (also why are you everywhere I go)
I love how everyone hates on the Guide xD I still use him when i forget recipes. I guess I had a different come-up with him though because i didn't have internet when i first played Terraria (Ocram days) so the Guide was my saving grace lol
Same, not exactly but same
@@robertdismore9184 I still use the Guide more than the Wiki I would say lol
If only i could kill hil
I'm going to use this comment to mention some things that I personally think required more explaining.
-for the house any backwall that the player placed counts and you can actually leave gaps but they have to be extremely small. The house has a minimum size of 60 tiles². The requirements are a light source (it doesn't have to be a torch) a furniture that counts as a "flat surface" (it doesn't have to be a table) and a piece of furniture for resting like a chair, a bed or a toilet.
-the guide is not completely useless. He has the crafting guide where you give him an item and he tells you what you can craft with it and where, that's a great way to discover new items. You can also give him a water bottle to discover all the different potions you can make.
-the help button on the guide gives hints on what to do next to progress, the idea experienced players have about the guide being useless is because the hints were outdated before 1.4 and because we already know all that.
-accesories that show information below the mini map also work in the inventory.
-health potions have a 60 second cooldown so use them carefully.
-there are 4 classes of weapons: melee, ranged, magic and summoner. Each one has it's playstyle and subclasses and you can combine them however you want. But I personally find it more enjoyable to focus on one. You can see the class of the weapon by what they say in the damage (for example the wooden bow says 8 *ranged* damage)
-high defense might look appealing, but survival in terraria is based on avoiding damage altogether, so prioritize damage and movement above anything else.
-every weapon has strengths and weaknesses, try different weapons in different situations to know what works best.
Definitely continue the guide series. It’s well out together and fun to watch
I’ve been playing since the game came out in 2010/2011. It’s one of my faves. Imagine them creating a Terraria 2.
They are, Pretty sure theyve announced that they are making Terraria 2.
@@edwardelric. I was totally unaware. That’s awesome. I hope it’s the same devs.
@@caramelconundrum9280 they are not unfortunately. They were going to but they cancelled it in around 2016-17
Terraria 2 is basically Terraria Overworld which is cancelled
Oh that’s super lame
I totally forgot about crafting suspicious looking eyes lol. I never do it. I always just find them or wait for him to spawn naturally lol.
Love the video. Would love to see an entire playthrough just like this. Maybe cut out the mundane stuff.
Yea haha😅
dude same
What? They can spawn naturally? I've I've playing for so long and I didn't know that was possible
@@masterrblx4419 the eye can totally spawn naturally yesterday I used a suspicious eye killed the boss and then he immediately spawned again naturally
Wait what? spawn.. Naturally? 😳
oh gosh..
I’m not NEW to the game… I’m just really bad at it!
I just love how time and time again the world forged itself to become the perfect tutorial world by showing off all the basics as soon as it was convenient to show, like you found so many chests on the way down, you found gems, then a house, then a heart crystal (it's not often all this happens at once), it's like all the stars aligned and if I was a newbie watching this, then I would be hooked, by this video alone :)
He's got that dream world
Good job Chippy, Although I am a veteran in this game I love your guide, I am glad that you make this guide for the newest, because when you are new you never know what to do first or how to start, you did a very good job
Let’s go Chippy, you’re the man!
Yh it feels like u cant get better than james
yuuuuooop
Just in time fore journey's end for console! This will help my mate a lot he tried to do a little home design on his own for his first night but didn't realize you need a hammer to remove wall blocks.
Finally even know I’m a modern warfare TH-camr I still enjoy some terraria,I can’t tell u how long I’ve been waiting for this update to come over to console.I’m so exited ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
MW was a great game
This is for 2024 and it was made two years ago?
He just updated the title
@@digchiz8174 K
Not much has changed so he just updated the title to let the viewers know it's still relevant, it's a bit scratchy but whatever
Good catch
He could see the future 😳
Honestly, on my first play through, I lasted about 20 minutes without the wiki, which I continued to use along with a TH-cam guide for my class (magic). It really sucks how terraria isnt that fun without knowing what you want to get and how to get it. Before I used the wiki, I pretty much got full platinum, beat eye of Cthulhu, and then had no idea what to do from there. I feel like the game has way too much depth for someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing, for example, how would someone know that they need an arena for every boss fight? How in the world would someone figure out how to spawn Wof by themself? How would I know to destroy demon altars to get hardmode ores? It just seems too complicated for someone to figure out themself
Lmao my ass you got full platinum armour and killed eye of cthulu in 20 minutes
@@Camothor10 you still understand my point regardless
@@bigmannnnn yeah i guess
Me on Xbox360 figuring out how to spawn the wof without internet 👁👄👁
8:45 a crafting bench counts as a table for the purposes of a home being livable for an NPC.
You can also ask the guide what recipes an item uses for crafting by putting an item in the box when talking to him
Hey, thanks for making this simple little guide. I've felt really dumb playing this game and this actually helped quite a lot. :)
I never realized you had to fill the background completely. Usually after the people move in there's holes in my background and the NPC's don't seem to care. Good info to have, very nice video.
Always happy when this fellow brit uploads
Thank you so much for this guide! When I started, I had no idea what to do, but look at me now! I'm rockin' in solar flare amour, and having beaten the game!
Surprised there's no mention of the guide's crafting help. He can tell you everything that can be made with an item, and what station and other mats you need. That's absolutely worth it so you don't have to flip to the wiki any time you find a new thing, and since we don't have recipe browser on 1.4 yet, I'd say the guide is critical. I keep him in the house nearest my crafting area every playthrough
Thanks for all theses tips, the shift key is my best friend now.
And thanks for not spoiling stuff! Best video and most useful i've watch so far.
I'm new to the game and you made the basics a lot easier, I am hoping for some more tutorial videos
Thanks for this guild I recently started playing for the first time and this was really helpful.(wiki is also a big help)
This man really said that Terraria is "built different".

Of the Terraria guides on TH-cam I watched, I felt yours was definitely better than others, possibly even the best. Just bought the game yesterday and of the several I’ve watched, yours is much better at explaining what you should do when you’re just starting. The other people had their videos jumping all over or were not super clear with their instructions. Thank you for the time you put into this! Appreciate the help 👍🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🖖🏽
i really like how he didnt have to add music. the music is terraria is exquisite itself. thank for the this guide because i really needed it
Best Terraria tutorial. Thanks Chippy for this. I will refer to this when I start from scratch when I get my PS5.
I love Chippy's content so much I don't even skip the sponsorship, like I normally do in different videos.
Please do continue this series. I’ve played terraria some here and there still a noob and this video was helpful.
Great video, just started again with Terraria and this has really helped! Thank you
I’m sending this to my new friend i’m gonna start a Console 1.4 playthrough with when it drops :) love ya chippy
Can't wait for 1.4 on console man I've been so hyped up
Same
It's coming TODAY!!
It’s out
Thanks so much. I just started playing with a friend and this helped me understand more of what the heck he was trying to teach me. Much appreciated!!!
Dude I’ve been playing terraria for absolute years but I watched this the whole way through, wholesome asf, takes me back for sure, nice
I have 500 hours in game and even I learned something new! Nice vid Chippy!
When I first start, I was so confused as it my first time playing a game like this. Lucky for me I had my younger brother to help me with the basics and when I was confused he answered my questions like what is the this underground brick structure (the lizahard temple) and why can't I go in it. It was a long journey but by the time I beat golem (used the Piranha gun because felt it was op). Then did a playthrough with my little brother and by the time that happened, Expert mode was released.
thank you for this! I get frustrated too easily with games that throw you in with no explanation but ive been wanting to play this! Makes it much easier to understand i was struggling with building
The guide is also good for learning what materials are used in and the crafting station you need
Im not a begginer, but chippy uploads, I click.
True
How old are you?
Awesome, I cant wait to play Terraria with any problem on my ps4, master mode, and keyboard!!
This is pretty helpful. I've tried getting into terraria for YEARS at this point, but there's just so much content in the game that I've always felt super overwhelmed
Thanks I'm just starting off and his has greatly helped me.
It'll be nice to not always rely on a friend for info, knowing the game yourself helps a lot!
I still remember the first day I've ever played Terraria I got a blood moon on the first night.
This made me love the game.
Block swap. Learned that today! Thank you!!
Nice starting tutorial! Thanks!
I wish this video existed when I started playing Terraria...
Me with 2000 hours, watching a beginners guide...
There’s always some tiny detail you didnt realise lol
Do you play RL?
@@haribo_42 for me i didn't learn anything new
@@xyphon.9528 Yeah?
@@monke1295 Shut.
Thanks dude. You really helped me understand the basics of this game. You deserve a like 👍
Thank you. I just started playing here. Really enjoy it so far.
POV me watching this video 6 days before 2024 Ö
I went in blind when I started playing and chose a large world because "why would I want anything smaller than max"
I learned my lesson
wasting 20 years trying to find hermes boots underground 💀
Last time i played was before moon lord and cultists and all that. I think plantera was the highest boss maybe? So i need to refresh. This video is helpful, as always, chippy!
Please do another one! This was so helpful
I'm imagining Chippy smiling as he records this video. His voice sure sounds like he does for some reason.
True lol
Ima send this to my friend, we were just talking about me teaching her how to play terraria
You’ve earned a sub this was easy for me to understand and helpful thank you
I can't wait I've been waiting for so long!
This comment section and the video helped me alot since im new to terraria. Also im a minecraft player who thought terraria was similiar to minecraft so it should be easy to learn but I was so wrong
To everyone the update has brought here:
Stick around, Chippy is a legend :)
Great video, thank you for teaching me the basics!
This helped me a lot
When he hovered over the recall potion i was really expecting him to say: And the sponsor of todays video is the recall potion
for some reason
Can you make a more intermediate guide that help people who have already played the game adjust to the new update, because it's a pretty jarring change.
Best beginners guide I’ve watched. Just wished I had found it two months ago. Great stuff and I subbed.
Funny Yeo this comment is now two months old.
how*
Thanks for the guide man, i used to played this game like what 5 years ago lol, and i forget about like everything,and this video just refresh my memory about this game basic
me: hey, go into that dungeon place, you can get some really good stuff in there
friend: there is a guy standing outside telling me that i can't go in
me: just ignore him, ill be down in a few minutes
friend: ok, oh i see a gold chest ill go get i.. AHHHHHHHHH
friend 2: was that really necessary
me: its tradition
😂😂😂😂😂 it’s tradition for sure
i fucking did this to myself
have 1,500 hours in terraria
still going to watch the beginners guide because it's chippy so i know it's a good video
THANK YOU I’ve been looking for a guild like this one I got the game because my friends were talking about that now I’m learning
TX YOU SO MUCH. this was insanely helpful. I just got this game and I thought the game wisent for me but after finding out that there's a way to beat the game is awesome.
After trying to start the game about 20 times with no tutorial, I was going to delete it and go back to Minecraft. You saved the day! (And game!)
😎👍
Bro literally same, until I met a really good friend who explained everything and now I'm stacked and addicted to the game. He's really cool.
My next 30 minutes are sorted
I really need this! Thanks!
This really helped me out thanks!
My guide was mostly my friend giving me advice, being the P R O G A M E R that he is
Clam your "your a veteran but you still watched the video" ticket here
Never knew that 2 years ago the typo is still here
thx so much for this iv played terraria many times and killed the eye boss but it got weird bc i didnt really know what to do and stuff but seeing this i understand much more
Hey man great guide for new and returning players. Thanks for video.
not sure if i need this… *i beat the moon lord 10 times…..*
and still only got only 2 of his drops :(
Feels bad man😩😩
At least you got money
Thank You this helped me a lot and told me a bunch what i did not know i will sub to see more.
Little Tip: Platforms count as a door for NPC homes so you could just have a tower and have 2 tiles of the floot as platforms and have no doors so you NPC dont escale and open up doors.
Thank you so much. I used to play but life has been so busy! Thank you for the run down. It actually has improved my gameplay! 💯👍🏽
Thank you for the video. Great tutorial I can give to my friend who may soon play the game for the first time.
i rarely watch guides on youtube because its kinda hard for me to understand it but this one had my eyes and ears
This really helped with teaching me how to make more tools and Armour
First time playing this game and I needed this guide! Thank you so much
