Terraria Is BETTER Than Minecraft, Here’s Why…

I should probably say that this is a very clearly biased video, heavily favoring Terraria in rather subjective ways at multiple times, and cherry-picking arguments to make Minecraft sound significantly inferior, imo giving it worse scoring than it actually deserves in some areas. I might agree on multiple points you made, and personally prefer Terraria over Minecraft myself, but I have to point out that you really didn’t give Minecraft much breathing room in your arguments for it, and didn’t even try to give your personal experience of Minecraft to contrast with your first Terraria experience. This video is very well made, and does give an illusionary token effort to be impartial while judging, but it feels a bit harsh and disingenuous on Minecraft’s case too often for me to not at least mention it.

Guys i was one of the five year olds back in 14 years ago saying terraria is minecraft 2D slop….
does 12093 hours on the game remove my sins?

7:09 NIT PICKING ROUND!!1!!1!

FINALLY, someone that is not afraid of saying the truth

what about ultrakill

I think if you want a more well rounded experience terraria is almost always the way to go because a lot of its content is fleshed out and ALMOST everything is useful in someway(looking at you leather). But if you just like being creative or exploring minecraft is much better because of the biome variety, redstone, and the third dimension (which imo makes exploration and building in minecraft more fun). Also I do disagree with the exploration point as I feel minecraft very much does reward exploration. Villagers, which can trade amazing items are found in villages, ominous bottles in structures, the trial chambers with an exclusive weapon and great loot, ocean monuments and sponges, mansions and totems, I could go on. These arent really neccessary to explore but neither are several biomes in terraria. You dont need to explore the underground desert or underground tundra for much content besides potion ingredient that can be found in herb bags and sand that is found all across the world. I think they are both great games and have an unhealthy amount of hours on both but saying one is objectively better isnt true

Terraria has always had more edge then minecraft since minecrafts combat is just so….mid

11:32 See people always get this wrong but you're sorta comparing rectangles and squares here. Ultimately, very similar, but nobody would say that they're the same shape. Mod ⊆ modpack. Subset relationship. And this is also wrong as its the same as weighing one orange from one store and a whole bag of em from another store and picking the second store because theirs are heavier. RLCraft is a mod*pack*, containing hundreds of mods, calamity & thorium are singular *mods*, containing "hundreds" of content. Terraria has mods AND modpacks, and so does minecraft, especially now with the creation of bereft souls. So compare packs to packs or large mods to large mods, its not like Minecraft is lacking in any large standalone content mods, like Terramity or Goety or new age OreSpawn. I get why you would compare packs from mc to singular mods from Terraria (considering the scale of mods like calamity or stars above, where you'd need multiple minecraft mods to match sometimes) but, its still wrong. I'm only taking this so seriously and writing a lot about simply because it is one of those things everyone thinks is too little of a detail to care about when, the smallest details are sometimes most important.
But all in all i get your point and why you did this, if im giving you benefit of the doubt.
As minecraft has more large packs & less large mods while terraria has more large mods & less large packs so, it's hard to put em on equal footing. But just know

3:58 FROZEN HILLSIDE FROM KIRBY AIR RIDE MENTIONED?!?! WHHAAAAT!?

3:17 Cliff 2 footage in 2025 is genuinely a mythical pull

tbh
if you like creativity and building, choose minecraft (preferably with mods)
if you like progression and adventure, choose terraria (if you want a harder experience play expert/master/legendary or calamity mod)

yea

to be honest both games aren’t exactly comparable when you take a deeper look into them, one is literally missing a whole dimension and has a quite different take on it’s sandbox elements, with terraria being way more focused on it’s progression, while minecraft is much more about building and adventuring. i can still see the argument about the things terraria do better, like how Minecraft’s progression is pretty stale, and for some reason the game really has a want to nerf other high tear weapons that just keep the bow, sword/axe as the best weapons objectively, while nerfing alternates that may i add are much harder to get

i like the gd gameplay sometimes coming up in the background you should make a video about gd

If some one hates I’m gonna explain smth this vid is something called a personal opinion

2:18 what

Minecraft has always been carried by mods, Mojang has very rarely added any worthwhile content to the game.
Tererria's base game is already a competently made game in its own right and is only made better by mods.

I definitely need some sort of structure in my games. I need an ultimate goal, and the things I do in between that are in service to that goal. Whenever I play Minecraft, I screw around for a week or so, but I don’t really consider the Ender Dragon to be an ultimate goal… plus it’s tedious to even get to. Terraria, however, gives me a goal, and it lets me test my skills against bosses and upgrade my gear every step of the journey. I can step away from progression for a bit to do something that ultimately doesn’t matter much, but I always need to get stronger before long.

terria its bad , minecraft its bad , modpacks from FTB / ATM many other creators are insanly amazing to play with friends

My older sister just hates terraria because she died by a single slime. SLIME!! THE WEAKEST ENEMY IN THE GAME!!

I agree with your opinion

2:20 WHAT BY SPU7NIX

also terraria is still an indie game and not owned by one of the biggest corporations EVER.

5:36 i'd say its even less than 10%.

Usually when people have full diamond armor and tools they just go kill endermen, make a few eyes of ender and immediately go search for the end portal, 5 minutes later (of probably the most stupid bossfight in gaming) at most and its over.

That is at most 2 hours

I agree sir chadwick
