The Charms of Terraria 1.4.5 Update

The latest 1.4.5 update of Terraria brings a delightful assortment of features that add whimsy and utility to the game. Among the highlights is the adorable ‘Cen-Axe’ fairy pet, a homage to a developer’s partner, manifesting a deep-rooted disdain for trees. This miniature ally attempts to chop down any tree in sight, albeit with little success, making for a humorous companion. On a more practical…

So they announced they're adding a placable demon altar to Terraria! The state of the game says it'll only be accessible in the most extreme circumstances and not readily available.

My guess is it'll probably drop from a demon/crimson altar once you've broken every single one in the world. That feels pretty extreme to me!

My logic here is that they'd do this so that if you manage to break every altar, you still have access to demon altar recipes, since those are pretty important. It would also serve as a sort of trophy for such a difficult task!

But hey, that's just a theory! A-

Fynn was sent to Ocram's house.

the terraria cycle goes as follows: - the "final update" releases - sink another 150 hours in because why not - make peace with and move on to other games - relogic announces that there's another update coming...

repeat ad infinitum

I want someone to play terraria with…..

[kozykricket]

so hear me out

and now

re-logic i KNOW you dont like naming your massive updates (like 1.4.4 lol) to be major updates unless you like reinvent the game or add a buncha progression and bosses, but cmon 1.4.5 at this point is TOTALLY 1.5, but more importantly... the PROPHECY says that ADDING HOPPERS is only something you do IN 1.5 !! /lh

Okay so my beloved ChippyGaming has just posted a very interesting video..

Here's a list of all the 1.4.5 spoilers I can find in this video 😎 I will be covering ALL of them even if it's stuff we've seen before.

(you could just watch the video and see them for yourself but I just wanna make a list because this video is craaazy)

First of all at 0:40 you can see the lil' bugs in the grass! Kinda hard to get a good pic of them bc they're so tiny.

Here's some of them and it seems they can be lots of different colours.

It seems Red is using a new hairstyle? I'm not quite sure. Also I think Red's hair in the thumbnail of the video is slightly different to this one so at least 2 new hairstyles? Probably more tbh.

The player tethering thing is very interesting! Maybe if we ask nicely we could see it in the update... I really like how recall potions/magic mirrors are kinda broken and force the characters to meet at the midpoint between spawn and the other persons location. So they do work if you do it enough times. Idk I think thats cool and I hope if we do get this then they will keep this weird interaction. Then again it might get kinda annoying idk lol. Imagine using a teleportation potion....

Quick stack to nearby chests button has a green and yellow/orange? colouration and there are new stacking techniques? Presumably each different stacking technique will make the button go a different colour.

At 3:16 you can see a new crafting animation?!? The item also glows after being crafted. This could happen when the item is crafted for the first time. Not really sure cus Red says "it's in the works". The animation also changes colour based on the rarity of the item.

The crafting button that switches on the item selector thingy has a yellow highlight and theres a new quick stack button bellow this? Am I crazy or is this new as well?

Slighly different PvP and team buttons. First pic is new (1.4.5) second pic is current (1.4.4.9)

The Door Method will be the new meta in Terraria 1.4.5?!?!

At 4:17 you can see the first example of the new sunlight effects! (also pointed out at 18:13) The trees, clouds and grasses are glowing and you can also see subtle lens flare.

Also there is fps information at the bottom left of Chippy's screen. Idk if that's new but it seems suspicious. Could be because they are playing on a debug version of the game.

There has been arrows added to the item box of this wooden sword. Most likely to indicate that it is an autoswing weapon? Perhaps you will be able to enable autoswing for specific items as well as turning on the accessibility option.

Whenever they are underground there's dirt and stone dust particles falling from the ceiling?? Is this new? I Might be going crazy.

At the world seed part of the world creation menu it says "<Leave Blank For Random>" instead of just showing a random seed. This is probably because of the new secret seed selector.

New @runicpixels background?!?!?! I think I can see some different ones as well but I can't see it very well because they need height adjustment apparently. It could just be this one again though. Maybe a little bit of another one is visable in the thumbnail of the video as well.

Acorn Slingshot!! Uses acorns as ammo and plants trees where the acorns land. The video doesn't show Chippy actually getting it but all he was doing was chopping trees so you probably get it from shaking trees. Possibly when we get this item the acorns will roll or bounce to a viable tree planting location to prevent planting trees too close together.

New Cloud Slime!! It drops cloud blocks and has floaty physics! I think theres also new sprites for cloud blocks?

Cloud platform! They probably prevent fall damage just like their block counterpart.

Okay so at 10:32 a small tree grows but there is a platform right above it and normally that would prevent the tree from growing? right? New tree growing rules?? Maybe...

Guide is immune to zombies?? This could be a multiplayer bug...

At 11:55 the snail does not die when chippy shoots at it.. Immortal snail has been added??

New Dirt Slime!! It drops dirt blocks and hopefully it can also rarely drop the dirtiest block... We absolutely NEED that for the new skyblock seed.

New Dart Trap Slime? It's actually a Black Slime holding a dart trap which is supposed to be pretty rare. It can shoot arrows at you (which are probably poisonous just like regular dart traps) and it drops a dart trap.

Placeable critters! If you hold a critter in your hotbar and right click you can place down a small object along with the critter. The critter will always stay near this small object and cannot be damaged or killed (probably). Apparently when placed like this they stop being NPCs and become projectiles?? Perhaps we can do that projectlile limit exploit thing with these new placeable critters like we can already do with beach balls and flares?

New Granite Slime!! Can't really see it too well in the video because it is getting brutally murdered with fire. It drops granite blocks and seems to spawn anywhere in the cavern layer. The existence of a Granite Slime implies the existence of a Marble Slime....

New vanity item Goat's Tuft! Found in underground gold chests. I'm pretty sure this causes your character to make a goat bleating sound when they are damaged (as observed at 23:05 when Chippy takes damage from the eater of souls)

New 2x3 painting? Looks like just some guy. In the video they find it in a glowing mushroom cabin but it could just be found in underground cabins in general.

New Slush Slime!! It drops slush blocks and it looks very dangerous.. probably fires ice spikes at you and inflicts frostburn debuff.

HUGE NEWS!!!! MUD BALL IS IN THE CRAFTING MENU!!!!! MUD BALL NEEDS NO CRAFTING STATION TO BE CRAFTED!!!!

At 26:58 Red mentions the Mush Boy. Red is refering to the Mushroom Boi! from Dead Cells which is being added into Terraria along with other Dead Cells items and weapons like the Flint and the Killing Deck. Mush Boy is crafted with glowing mushrooms and is apparently an early game summoning weapon.

Okay! I think thats it? If i missed anything FORGIVE ME and let me know so I can add it! If you're reading this thanks for reading all that! (Still thanks if you skipped to the end though lol)

Love u <3

Ok so just... Based. Awesome. Great stuff. Don't change. You're a little angel. That's very sweet of you. I love the possibility of new voices / bodies. Just ah yeah.

SUBJECT: UPDATE v1.4.6

This update attempts to fix the loading saves issue present in 1.4.5. Certain saves made in 1.4.5 will either not load correctly or not work at all, but anything from 1.4.4 or older may work again.

But even if the save is compatible, it may still may not load correctly due to changes in the code. These will usually not be major issues, but I would still say making new saves and overwriting old ones is best as the game continues to update! You can delete saves by hovering over them and pressing the delete key.

I also added a failsafe in case a save doesn’t work, so your game won’t crash anymore.

On top of that, there’s some additional adjustments I threw in, mainly for behind the scenes content.

[nyanbinary-perineum]

what kind of games have you been playing recently? any kind, not just video games

- 3ds anon

I mean I mostly stick with video games, it's where my preferences lie

Right this second I've been revisiting Enshrouded since I've been like 6 updates behind or something like that.

Restarted and I'm in the middle of working on my base/fort's aesthetics before pushing further in again :3

Did a single case in Shadows of Doubt and had a good time- not sure if I'll do more, a few of the weaknesses born from being so procedural pull me away from it a bit, but it's got so much going for it all the same.

But mostly I've been mentally held back from engaging much with games I want to which is a shame.

Oh, and I'm still waiting on Abiotic Factor 1.0 to drop (soon!!!!) and Terraria 1.4.5 (Soon™) lol

You can tell the love you have with someone is real when their eyes don't glaze over when you describe the intricacies of optimizing cookie production via spawning golden cookies, or how exciting the 1.4.5 update is in terms of small tweaks and little additions that are coming with it!!

Schedule Forecast

Times are in EST.

I will not clarify why some time blocks are the way they are for privacy reasons.

I will try to follow the schedule (if my ADHD does not rocket me to the other corners of the universe, that is).

A Maintenance Day is a day where I update tags and put alt text on posts.

A session ends when I beat the next boss (or an ending happens, whichever happens first)

Usual Schedule Forecast (Updated as of 5/7/25)

Sunday: High chance to start session, medium-low chance to continue after 7PM

Monday: Low chance to start smaller session, not before 4PM, otherwise Maintenance Day (possibly thrown out the window?)

Tuesday: High chance to start session, medium-low chance to continue after 7PM

Wednesday: High chance to start session, low chance to continue after 7PM

Thursday: High chance to start session, medium-low chance to continue after 7PM

Friday: Low chance to start smaller session, not before 4PM, otherwise Maintenance Day (possibly thrown out the window?)

Saturday: Maintenance Day

Still here? Enjoy the show.

Also, same deal here. #pic incoming or #pix incoming for posts without pictures (those will be added ASAP), #no alt text yet for pics without alt text (I will try to add those on Maintenance Days).

Below the "Keep Reading" will list any special notices (if any).

(I'll post an index later, I only have the one game I am liveblogging currently so there is no pressing need)

Current Notices

---

Sunday (5/11) will be a maintenance day. This is because of an unplanned event on my end.

---

5/16 could potentially be the release of Terraria 1.4.5 (updates have been released on that date in the past as that is the anniversary of Terraria).

If so, the liveblog of Last Defense Academy will be put on hold indefinitely (as I will be playing the update on update day)

DON'T WORRY! IT IS NOT A PERMANENT HOLD! It will be until I stop playing Terraria (though that might take a while)

I will try to get to an ending ASAP if that happens before then.

I might liveblog Terraria, but it would be very sporadic if I did it.

If this does not happen, ignore this bit.

i am fully confident that terrarias gonna drop the release date for 1.4.5 in either this months state of the game, or more likely.. in next months state of the game. and it'll be like "we're aiming for a summer release" or something. even though they usually release either may or october give or take a month. and then itll be like HOLY SHIT this SUMMER is PACKED with DELTARUNE and TERRARIA

bonus prediction is that silksong releases like. within november 17th - december 8th

but god its so hard to play terraria sometimes when i know an updates coming...

oh and yknow what? i think late april (this month) we'll get the SOTS character reworks for ror2. though i doubt itll be the finale of sots-2.0

I had an idea for a challenge run where you were only restricted to using renewable items. Seems easy enough? Well I decided to actually think about it. You'd assume that just because you can plant an acorn, which grows a tree, which can be chopped down to get more acorns and also wood, would be renewable? The way I've written up the notes for this challenge meant I put a bit more thought into it. Are the blocks you are planting the acorns on renewable? Is the axe you are felling the trees with renewable? As well as everything they depend on to be renewable? The answer is yes but I have the notes to prove that. There are a few different markers in the spreadsheet, since the lihzahrd temple and altar are mandatory for progression, and the shimmer is only renewable with either post-golem materials or liquid duping, and the evil altars aren't renewable but might be in 1.4.5 so I was futureproofing, etc. I have also uploaded a notes spreadsheet that goes over the main core of items that you can more or less derive the renewability of any other item from, if you don't want to trust the spreadsheet at face value. Also I went and marked *every* item, regardless if it is one someone would actually use or not. Feel free to give the challenge a go, I only ask that if you are uploading a youtube video (or any other platform) about it, that I receive credit for the idea, since this was not an easy feat.

Both the sheet with all the items and the text file with the workings-out are here on a google drive. I will also aim to update it as soon as 1.4.5 drops. Good luck if you wish to take on the challenge.
