Forest

The Forest is a pure biome that comprises the majority of the surface world and is typically where the player initially spawns. The global landscape of a Forest includes lots of grass, plenty of trees, lakes of various sizes, and occasional hills that can reveal cave entrances. Forests often contain one or more Living Trees that sometimes have an underground treasure room.

The Forest changes noticeably in the outer sixths of the world. Goblin Scouts, which are fairly uncommon and drop Tattered Cloth, begin to spawn. The King Slime boss also has a very low chance to spawn and can easily surprise and overwhelm an unsuspecting player. Enchanted Sword Shrines(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) are only found in the outer thirds of the world in the Forest as well.

Notes

  • Generally, the Forest is the easiest biome in the game as the enemies encountered here are easily defeated once some basic gear has been acquired. The player's first base is often built here, as building materials such as Clay, Stone, and Wood are found quickly, the spawn rates are generally low, and the initial spawn is usually within the Forest.
  • There is a small chance for low tier ores to spawn on the surface in a forest. The various types of ores that can be found consist of Copper or Tin, Lead or Iron, and sometimes Silver or Tungsten. Pockets of Clay and Stone can also be found on the surface.
  • Surface Chests can be found scattered all over the Forest and include many exceptional starter items.
  • In Hardmode, the biome receives a slight buff, with new enemies spawning at night.
  • (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) Sakura and Yellow Willow trees have a 1/20 (5%) chance of replacing a regular Forest tree on world generation.
  • (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) Fallen Logs can be found in the Forest, where Fairies spawn at night. When broken by an axe they will drop some Wood, and breaking all of them will permanently stop surface Fairies from spawning (although they can still be spawned by shaking trees).

Tips

Trivia

  • As of 1.4.0.5(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), the Forest has the most of music tracks, having five including those from Terraria: Otherworld.
  • (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) The Forest is the most popular biome for NPC housing:
    • Only two NPCs dislike it and four NPCs like it. In pure numbers this is better than every other biome. The Hallow is the only biome that comes close to this number.
