The Dead Miner is now a bit stronger. Tim's spawn chance has been reduced. Players now have 1 second of invulnerability after they spawn. Surface Jungles are now possible on mud that is on the surface. Jungle trees will auto-grow on their own, as acorns are not usable on the jungle grass.

Increased client side security. Players with a name over 20 characters will now get booted from the server. Added some minor anti-grief protection.

Defaults to on. Added a prompt to load a world backup if the current world is corrupt. Added a check to determine if a world file was loaded successfully. Attempting to Launch the game from the Terraria.exe, will now inform you to launch via Steam rather then doing nothing at all with no indication of why. This is most likely to prevent piracy. Backing out of the port selection screen now plays the correct sound. Setting options now correctly align with the center of the screen in all resolutions. The settings menu has been reorganized. All video related options have their own menu The “Tink” sound now has a more dull sound. Bug Fixes: The eat/drink animation now plays correctly. The Re-Logic splash screen, now scales correctly in other resolutions. Selecting summon items will no longer cause monsters to summon. Fixed a bug that would cause the client to attempt to summon an NPC during a multiplayer game and crash.

The Water Candle's enemy spawn rate increase effect now works correctly when held. New Bugs: If the player has the Robe equipped and uses a weapon while jumping, the player's legs will appear to jut out from the sides of the robe. The Grooms never spawn.

Players can no longer repeatedly double jump after touching the top of the world. The game will no longer crash when connecting to a non-existant or offline server. New Bugs: Multiplayer latency/lag has greatly increased, even on local computer. Hitting mobs will cause them to knockback-teleport back by lag. This also applies to other monsters than slimes.

Right clicking and holding on a crafting recipe will craft multiple of the same item to a max of the stack and/or until you run out of materials.

The version number of the game now shows on the title screen. Servers now listen to all IP addresses on the hosting PC, regardless of how many network connections are active. Terraria Multiplayer port has been changed from ELEET (31337) to 7777. Bug Fixes: Sand will no longer duplicate when placed in midair or dug from below. Placing a Bed far from the spawn no longer causes a player who has set their spawn there to crash on join. Hellstone now correctly takes as long to dig as meteor does.
