Settings

   

Desktop/Console/Mobile/3DS-Only Content: This information applies only to the Desktop, Console, Mobile, and 3DS versions of Terraria.

Settings are a set of gameplay options available from the game's main menu, the pause menu (), or the inventory screen (  ).

 Desktop version

General Setting Default Description Autosave , Mobile, 3DS On On: Saves world and character data every 10 minutes in the background during gameplay. Off: Only saves when using the "save and quit" option. Note that regardless of this setting, the game will always autosave the character upon death; in multiplayer, the game will save character data every 5 minutes, and the server will save world data every 10 minutes. Turning Autosave on (default) has the benefit of keeping the player's progress saved in case of a crash or power outage, without having to worry about saving manually. Some players may prefer to leave this option off, in case a potentially world-altering glitch occurs, or if they would like to experiment in a world without altering it, and be able to go back to its previous state later. Autopause method DoUpdate_AutoSave() in Terraria.Main.cs Off For singleplayer only, this setting pauses the game whenever the player opens the inventory or activates a Sign or Announcement Box. This can be useful in instances when the player needs to use their inventory without worrying about being damaged, such as by being attacked by enemies or drowning. However, with autopause on, the player cannot place items from directly out of the inventory (the item must be in the hotbar and selected), nor can the player use items directly out of the inventory. Note that independently from this setting it is—also in singleplayer only—also possible to pause the game by any method which switches out of the Terraria program, such the Alt-Tab hotkey or the Windows key function. A more convenient method is to bring up the settings menu (open your inventory and click on settings). Map Enabled The minimap can be enabled or disabled. Disabling the minimap can provide a performance boost on old hardware, but it is heavily unrecommended, because playing with it disabled means that the player cannot use Pylons or Wormhole Potions. Passwords Enabled, Disabled Visible When set to hidden, password characters entered into the game window, such as those for logging into a multiplayer game, will appear as asterisks (*). Zoom sub-menu Zoom 100% Allows zooming the game world in to see more detail. The maximum amount the player can zoom out is determined by their screen resolution. UI Scale Varies Allows the player to increase the size of the interface for easier viewing on higher resolutions. Activate Set Bonuses 100%-200% (Varies), 50%-200% (Varies) Down The majority of set bonuses for armor are passive, meaning they are always active. Some armor sets include a bonus that must be activated by double-tapping either ▲ Up or ▼ Down, depending on the setting found here. Note: Double-tapping ▼ Down may also make the player drop through if they are standing on specific furniture items or platforms at the time. Smart Doors Enabled Enabled The player will automatically open and close doors and Tall Gates when walking towards them when this setting is enabled, or only do this when the player is using a controller when set to Gamepad Only. Hover Controls Hold When set to Hold, the player has to hold ▼ Down and ↷ Jump to use their wings' hover ability. When set to Click, hovering is enabled by pressing ▼ Down, and disabled by pressing ▲ Up while flying. Autofire Hold, Click Off When enabled, autoswing will be turned on for all weapons. Interface Setting Default Description Pickup Text On Determines whether or not to show pop-up text describing the items the player picks up. This can be useful so that the player does not need to constantly check their inventory to see what was picked up, although the text annoys some players as it covers up parts of the graphics above their character during gameplay. The Sonar Potion is effectively useless when this setting is set to off. Event Progress Bar On, Off, On On On: Shows a progress bar displaying the percentage of an event completed. Off: Hides the progress bar. Timed: Shows the progress bar, but hides itself if no event-affiliated enemies have been defeated in the past few seconds. Reappears when an event-affiliated enemy is defeated. Placement Preview On Determines whether or not to preview placement of furniture. This can help pinpoint exactly where furniture is placed as opposed to having to break and replace it if improperly placed. Highlight New Items On, Off On Determines whether newly picked-up items are highlighted in the inventory. The highlight disappears when the cursor is hovered over a highlighted item or the inventory is closed. This aids in quickly locating acquired items. Tile Grid Off Shows a five-tile-wide grid around the cursor if the player is not moving to place blocks more precisely. Gamepad Instructions On, Off On Shows on screen how to perform different actions using a gamepad. Minimap Border Default, Valkyrie, Retro, Leaf, TwigLeaf, StoneGold, Sticks Default Cycles through nine minimap frames. This is for cosmetic purposes only, and will not affect the minimap's function. Map Scale 100% Adjust the minimap's size at the top-right corner. Health and Mana Style 50%-100%, Classic Fancy Changes the style of the health and mana UI display in the top right corner. Boss Health Bar Numbers On Displays the current and total health of a boss on its boss health bar. Hover Text Boxes On, Off On Adds a dark blue box behind in-game text such as item tooltips, hover text on Signs, etc. Video Setting Default Description Go Fullscreen/Go Windowed n/a Toggles between full-screen and windowed modes. Resolution sub-menu Fullscreen Resolution Varies Sets the resolution used for full-screen mode. It affects windowed mode when switched back, though the window's size will still alter its resolution. Higher resolution makes the game look smoother but can slow performance. Note that although resolution can affect the "zoom" from the character (that is, increase the game screen boundaries), it can only do so within the limit of their device's maximum screen resolution. That is, screens with high max resolution can produce a much greater zoom than screens with a lower max resolution, even if it may require third-party software to make Terraria accept abnormally high resolution values. Borderless Window Varies Disabled Sets the window resolution to the native desktop as well as removing the title bar and window frame. This setting can be useful when using and switching between multiple monitors. Parallax 60 Changes how much the biome background images scroll in relation to the player's movements. Higher numbers make the background move more, producing a more apparent 3D depth effect. Lower numbers make the background more stationary. Frame Skip 0-100, On Subtle Frame Skip skips unnecessary frames to improve performance and reduce desynchronization issues in multiplayer. On: Enables a default frameskip function provided by XNA, the programming environment that Terraria is developed in. Subtle: Redigit's revised custom frameskip, developed between 1.3.0.1 and 1.3.1 for monitors and devices capable of more than 60 frames per second (FPS). Off: Redigit's first custom frameskip that has existed since Terraria's original beta version. Lighting Color, White Color Changes the lighting mode. Quality Auto, High Auto Switches between low, medium, high, or auto lighting quality. Higher qualities will look better but may slow performance on some devices. Auto continually adapts the quality setting based on the device's performance (FPS, or "frame rate") during gameplay. Background On Switches biome backgrounds on or off. Switching them off can improve performance on slower devices. Blood and Gore On, Off On Toggles blood and gore effects. When disabled, killed entities emit puffs of smoke instead. This includes things that create blood particles as part of their animation, such as Demon Eyes and Skeletron. Skeletal and mechanical entities will still burst into body parts when killed. See Dust IDs and Gore IDs for the full lists of affected graphics. The suggestive Nurse quote "I don't give happy endings." will also be removed. Players may wish to turn Blood and Gore off to reduce visual clutter, so the game is not littered with enemy pieces. It may also be suitable to disable this setting when involving a younger audience. Miner's Wobble Enabled Toggles the block effect where when a block is not fully broken, where it grows and shrinks in size for a quarter of a second. See Notes. Heat Distortion Enabled, Disabled Enabled Toggles heat distortion effects seen in the Underworld and Desert. Storm Effects Enabled Toggles the screen effects seen during Blizzards and Sandstorms. Waves Quality Enabled, Disabled, Off, Low Enabled Increases and decreases wave effects seen on the surface and under the water: Low: Passive water distortion; nothing really interacts with it. Medium: Players and most NPCs (along with other things like the drops of water from the ceiling) create ripples as they pass through water. High: Projectiles also create ripples and ripples can bounce off walls. This setting has no effect under Retro or Trippy lighting. Windy Environment Enabled Toggles the "blown by wind" visual effects of items affected by wind. Volume Setting Default Description Music Enabled 100% Controls the volume of all music tracks. Sound 100% Controls the volume of sound effects like those from using items/weapons, splashing from liquids, using the interface, killing enemies/players, etc. Ambient 100% Controls the volume of occasional ambient, background sounds like bubbling lava, wind, liquidfalls, ambient sounds made by passive and hostile entities such as Birds and Zombies, etc. Cursor Setting Default Description Cursor Color 0%-100% #ff325f The color of the player's cursor. Border Color #40404040 The border color of the player's cursor. Smart Cursor Mode HSLA Toggle Determines the way that the Smart Cursor is activated. Toggle: Smart Cursor is activated when the mapped key (Left Ctrl by default) is pressed once, and deactivated by pressing again. Hold: Smart Cursor is only active when the mapped key is held down. Smart Cursor Priority Pickaxe -> Axe Determines the target priority when holding a pickaxe with the Smart Cursor mode. Pickaxe -> Axe: The cursor will always target the nearest tree regardless of pointing direction. It will only target blocks if no tree is reachable. Axe -> Pickaxe: The cursor will target the block in the pointed direction. If no block is reachable, it will target the nearest tree. Smart Block Placement Pickaxe -> Axe, Axe -> Pickaxe Disabled To Cursor: Blocks are placed from the Smart Cursor's target position towards the cursor's position when Smart Cursor is enabled. Disabled: Blocks are placed at the position of the cursor, the same as the behavior when the Smart Cursor is disabled. Lock On Priority Clearest Line Determines how Lock On will choose its target: Clearest Line: Enemies are chosen based on line of sight. Enemies obstructed from the player's reach by solid objects will have a lower priority. This setting is useful in the Dungeon and other areas with many obstructions. This setting sometimes results in the furthest enemy being targeted. Target Closest: The enemy closest to the player will be targeted regardless of intervening tiles. This setting is useful in flat, open areas. Controls Setting Default Description Activate Set Bonuses Clearest Line, Target Closest Down When set to up, activatable set bonus abilities from armor are triggered by double-tapping ▲ Up instead of ▼ Down. Quick Trash Left Control Left Control If enabled, allows the player to quickly send items to the trash slot by holding either ⇧ Left Shift or Left Ctrl, and left-clicking the item from the inventory menu. Keybindings n/a Opens a menu that allows the player to change the bindings for the different game controls, both for keyboard and mouse or controller. See game controls for a detailed explanation.

Note the wobbling effect when the Blue Brick is mined.

Trivia

• Prior to 1.2.3, going into the inventory with autopause on while using a weapon or tool and clicking an item would get it stuck and make it drop when exiting the inventory (unless the player right-clicked outside of their inventory to drop the item). If this was tried with a consumable item, it would be used as such. Healing items acted uniquely to this bug; they would still heal the player, but would not inflict Potion Sickness. Update 1.2 had somewhat tried to fix it, but could still be circumvented by using a tool or weapon with continuous use.
