Bonus drops on each slime's article
I was thinking it might be helpful to include slimes' bonus drops in their drop lists and, by extension, the drops database. That would also make them show up in {{drop infobox}}es. I tested it out at Blue Slime; see e.g. Bomb or Copper Ore for the {{drop infobox}}. Is this useful, should we do it for all slimes that have bonus drops? Or is it unnecessary/duplicate/too much clutter/...? --Rye Greenwood (talk) 21:02, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
- I think it looks good! I can't think of any additional feedback, and the fact it links to the bonus drop section of the slimes page helps remove confusion. Can't say I'd change it and I think these changes should be applied to the other pages. Kirby Baker (talk) 23:16, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you, I'll add it to the rest of the articles then. --Rye Greenwood (talk) 06:45, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
Creative mode
Hello sorry I am new but can you add console a creative mode because it is hard to do it on console XBOX. And also is there a PC non-steam version? Kittenmew (talk) 19:10, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, these kinds of questions are better asked at the forums. If you're on Xbox One, you can play in Journey Mode, which gives you more control, though it doesn't work the same as Minecraft's creative mode. The PC version is also available at GOG.com. --Rye Greenwood (talk) 02:29, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
Internal Item Name Misspelling?
Mostly joined to download data for personal use (hope that's okay!) but I happened to notice that the internal name of the Nymph Banner (Item ID 1694) is "NypmhBanner" as seen on the Item IDs page. If this is accurate, I think it's interesting trivia that could be listed on the banners page; that would also confirm to someone like me that the wiki table is correct. If it isn't accurate, I imagine it should be corrected. Apologies if I'm missing something and thanks! PostgameEnjoyer (talk) 17:53, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
- Info about items are directly taken from source code. Added this as trivia on Banners (enemy) page. BadPiggy1024 (talk) 03:36, 5 July 2025 (UTC)
- A simalar thing is in the block show png where it spells chlorophyte as chlorohyte Ramona120412 (talk) 17:23, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
- If you are referring to File:Block Reference.svg, that has already been noticed, as it has the {{reupload}} template. Of course, feel free to rectify the error yourself if you're able to! SlabFoot20 (talk) 22:11, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
Total Page Views
Is it possible to view the total page views or make that visible somehow? I was curious which items in the game are more or less popular and which items are rarely thought about by the community. I thought page views would be an interesting metric to use if that information is available Naominity (talk) 08:17, 15 July 2025 (UTC)
Grasses should have new images.
I was looking at the Blocks Page and I noticed all of the grass and moss blocks are a 3*1 placement of the tiles, rather than a 1*1 block like all the other tiles on the page. (This is including living wood, which also doesn't have an inventory sprite.) It's also odd they are arranged this way considering most other placed tile example on each block's page is setup in a 3*3 placement. Why are these sets of blocks inconsistent like this? Grass and moss can grow on the sides and bottoms of their respective blocks. Kirby Baker (talk) 01:27, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hm, you're right. I never questioned it, but when you're aware of it the inconsistency on articles like Solutions or Biome spread is quite apparent. 3×3-block images for grasses and moss (thorny bushes as well!) would definitely be an improvement there. --Rye Greenwood (talk) 10:47, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
Combination of the Brain Of Confusion and the Worm Scarf
Sorry I posted to the wrong one I I can't find a delete — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gleeb (talk • contribs) at 06:11, 20 August 2025 (UTC)
- No problem, I deleted the images you uploaded. Let us know if you need them reinstated. --Rye Greenwood (talk) 10:47, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
Player IDs page
There should be a page for player ID sprites. They are very confusing to resource pack makers in my experience as they are very scattered. An id page with descriptions to what's what would be helpful. Kirby Baker (talk) 01:51, 25 September 2025 (UTC)
2024 archive
Could we archive the talk for 2024? — Lilysse (talk • contribs) 21:26, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- Sure, done. --Rye Greenwood (talk) 18:28, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
Inventory setup/loadout
Could there be a wiki/section that has uploadable loadouts. If not, I would also like to ask if instead there could be something that tells you the best things to fill your loadouts (1,2,3) with, your voidbags (so you can have said items for loadouts 1-3), and hotbar/inventory and all slots that already exsist. (Ex: Solar armor in Ld1 and the best accesories) (Ex2: Ammo Setup, Best tools, Accesories, and Weapons for a person who wants to be all classes). Basically saying what the best items that you can have at the same time at all times. sorry I wrote so much but I think this would be extremely helpful and would make alot of people happy/thankful. Thank you for your time.
P.S. I didn’t wanna put this in the title so i’ll put it here (Character you use most for a world you love playing even after finishing it).

- Perhaps you are looking for Guide:Class setups. It tells you more or less the best selection of gear possible for each stage of game progression, including endgame. There is no exact best gear, however, as everyone's playstyle is different, of course (and this is why I think the wiki is not a place for your exact request, apologies). — Lilysse (talk • contribs) 19:05, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

Separating Shimmer, Chlorophyte Extractinator, and Campfire from crafting
Recently I've become increasingly skeptical of how useful it really is to lump these three item conversion methods in with regular crafting. The only thing they have in common with normal crafting stations is that they're somehow used to transform an item into another one, but other than that they work completely differently from how crafting is defined. Therefore, to reduce confusion and to keep them from getting in the way of actual crafting recipes, I propose to move them out of the "Recipes"/"Used in" section and give them dedicated tables under their own headings. I created a mock-up of what it could look like on some pages at User:Rye Greenwood/Sandbox23. This would also allow us to add some neat little {{diagram}}s for the Shimmer chains, which I find to be great for visualization, though of course that's optional.
To clarify: I'm completely fine with the transmutation/conversion data being stored in the Recipes cargo table. But I'd like to change {{recipes}} to treat Shimmer, the Chlorophyte Extractinator, and Campfires as "pseudo-crafting stations" only, so that they're no longer included by default.
For reference, this topic has been brought up before: Terraria Wiki:Community noticeboard/Archive 2024#Chlorophyte extractinator recipes should be moved to the very bottom of the recipe cargo table. There was also a discussion about it when Shimmer was introduced: Terraria Wiki:Community noticeboard/Archive 2022#Concern with Shimmer being Included as a Crafting Station.
What are your thoughts on this, any objections?
--Rye Greenwood (talk) 16:49, 24 November 2025 (UTC)
- I think separating them can be more technically correct, but the way it is now, everything is cleanly aligned in a table, alongside an image of Shimmer or Chloro Extractinator on the third column (which I think is useful). Also in the mockup, the layout states input then output, while the crafting table's layout is results then ingredients, so it's reversed. This issue is also commonly talked about in regards to Calamity wiki, and they have created some solution I believe looks quite nice: [1]. They did only separate things for Recipes and not Used In, but I can still get behind this; of course any suggestions from you to improve on this formula are absolutely welcome.
- The diagrams are cute visuals. I know Crafting tree uses the same thickness of the cells, but it does look weird when directly placed next to the thin lines of the recipe tables. Perhaps a redesign is in order.

Possible missing info in the items cargo table regarding mana potions
I downloaded the cargo table for items and noticed that for the mana potions that no debuff is listed despite them giving mana sickness, is there a reason for this or is this a mistake. If it is a mistake how do I go about finding the page to edit a specific item in a cargo table? WolfyXD1234 (talk) 20:00, 5 December 2025 (UTC)
