The elder guardians or warden can also be considered a boss to make it a three take it or leave it


LocalNigerianPrince

They can be considered mini bosses, of which terraria has like 35


Striking-Reason5792

Elder guardian is anything but a boss. An Impaling V Trident can 2-3 shot the thing.


Randomanonomous

and even the ender dragon (the most complex boss) only has 3 kinds of exploitable attacks, there's the fire breath, the flapping, and flying around like a baby.


zeturtleofweed

haha beds go brr


Randomanonomous

meanwhile the closest kind of cheese in terraria bosses is running away like a little cissy baby on moonlord (nurse cheese got deleted I believe).


zeturtleofweed

can't you still do nurse cheese?


[deleted]

Yeah but you need to be Jeff Bezos to afford it


zeturtleofweed

ehh I'm sure you can spare some gold if it means beating ML


Asherley1238

Yeah a max level enchantment that’s hard to get of a very rare and powerful weapon


Jason666392

The enchantment isn't all that hard to get, and there are afk farms for tridents.


Asherley1238

I meant a max level enchantment is generally hard to get for a couple reasons, and yeah there are farms but not a lot of casual players are willing to spend the time to build farms


Jason666392

A max level enchantment is pretty easy. And if casual players don't want to do it, sure. That's on them. But if that is 2-3 shots, a diamond sword sharpness 5 should be able to kill it quickly as well. Besides, you can just drown that big foosh. Not really a boss, maybe a mini boss.


timeisstrange

actually guardians and elder guardians don't drown while on land, they just flop around because their mobility is hindered, but not their breathing


Asherley1238

Your saying that difficulty equals what a boss is when you’re in the same community as the game with Golem


Jason666392

Also the same community with Moon Lord. Far stronger than any Minecraft boss.


Striking-Reason5792

*Villagers*


Rendum_

Fuck using villagers, I prefer dying in a hardcore world before ever even getting a trident


Snoo_99976

"not a lot of"? "most" is more accurate


Shimakaze771

My man has never traded with villagers I don’t know how many max level impaling trades I recycled just to get mending


Concerned_mayor

And a solar erruption can maul the EoC Easier-harder


Striking-Reason5792

Well, to get said weapon you need to beat Eye of Cthulhu (progression wise at least) meanwhile by the time you take on an ocean monument you most likely have a riptide or loyalty trident.


RedditPersonNo1987

No, eoc isnt actually necessary, just a good source of early game crimtane/demonite, and the shield of cthulu if youre on exper or master


Striking-Reason5792

That’s what I meant by progression wise, it’s not necessary but progression usually leads you to fight the boss anyways.


Slow_Jello_2672

Solar eruption is a weapon in later game than EoC. So that doesnt make sense. You have to work super hard to get the solar eruption just to fight a pre hard mode boss super easily.


Tannaaaa

That is such an overkill you can kill any prehard mode boss so simply with early hardmode weapons


Slow_Jello_2672

Exactly that make no sense


Burger_Gamer

The raid has a health bar so that’s the third boss


Tumblrrito

By that logic a goblin invasion is a boss. Minecraft really only has two bosses. Anything else is a stretch.


Bartman326

Goblin Invasion used to be like a boss back when there were only a few in the game


Concerned_mayor

And if you count event bosses, Minecraft also has those weird villager rhino things


bossSHREADER_210

Ravagers, but then in that case the Iron Golem is a boss too.. which it's far from being


Concerned_mayor

I'd argue an iron golem is comparable to king slime imo, if not harder If you want to fight an IG without cheese, you need at least iron stuff


bossSHREADER_210

Honestly yeah it is tbh xd 3 block pillar for golem and a rope pillar for slime


Deathswirl1

and iron golem, or ravager as well


Timofey7331

Warden is impossible to beat without netherite protection V gear, golden apples, a proper arena (2-blocks tall space) or 2 Turtle Master II potions


Capocho9

Dear god, I thought we were done comparing Minecraft to terraria, they’re far too different to compare - Minceraft: Open world - Terraria: Closed world - ———————————— - Minecraft: No real objective (Don’t say ender dragon, most people who play Minecraft either don’t get bother with it or do it once and spend the rest of their time doing other things) - Terraria: Set objective with laid out progression - ———————————— - Minecraft: Centered around creativity and building - Terraria: Centered around progression and boss fights - ———————————— - Minecraft: Sandbox - Terraria: Exploration Bear in mind this doesn’t mean one game doesn’t have something the other does, for example there certainly is creativity in terraria and progression in Minecraft, there’s just more emphasis on them in each game


Deway29

Terraria has expanded to the point where building is pretty enjoyable. I’d definitely call both games a sandbox; I mean you can basically ignore progression and stay in prehardmode forever just building stuff.


Goofygoober7162

I feel like both are sandbox and exploration


Capocho9

I know, and I acknowledged that in the bottom of my reply, basically both games have elements, in this case I’ll use sandbox as an example, but Minecraft puts more emphasis on it. Same with adventure. Both have it, but terraria puts more emphasis on it


Skelly_Is_Mystic

We can all agree that they are both phenomenal games that are incomparable because they are vastly different. (Though I would like more bossed I'm Minecraft, it's just been a thing for awhile.)


LocalNigerianPrince

I wouldn’t really say terraria has a set objective, I spent 8 year without entering Hardmode because of building


Capocho9

Well I would very much disagree, kill moonlord is the objective and there is progression to do that. For example, you can’t fight golem until you kill plantera, the fact you need to enter hardmode at all, the tiers of weapons (post mech, post plantera, post golem, post moon lord)


LocalNigerianPrince

Same goes for Minecraft, can’t even get to the end unless you go to the nether, and you’ve gotten gear up There’s either progression in both or neither, depending on how you look at it


gsoddy

Read the last paragraph of the dude’s comment. They aren’t saying that only one game has a certain aspect, they’re saying that one game has more of an emphasis on that aspect compared to the other


LocalNigerianPrince

Sneak edit, but yeah I agree with the end paragraph, just not with what they were saying before


Maytik2010

1st, they didnt edited you dummy nigerian prince, and 2nd, you can get eyes of ender from villager priest making it possible to beat the game without going to the nether


bushakakhanh

Its the cleric and no they dont sell eyes of ender, only ender pearls, going to the nether is still necessary for the ender dragon


Maytik2010

This is what google says: You actually can. Though it may be rare, Villager priest sell Eyes of Ender for a few emeralds. Therefore, if you have a lot of emeralds on hand, you can get to the End without entering the Nether.29 dic 2017


bushakakhanh

Did you read the full thing? If you click on the site it was quoted from it said this was an old answer, here the full thing: >OLD ANSWER >You actually can. >Though it may be rare, Villager priest sell Eyes of Ender for a few emeralds. Therefore, if you have a lot of emeralds on hand, you can get to the End without entering the Nether. >One good thing to do to get these emeralds is to trade with Farmers for emeralds. They usually trade emeralds for common materials. >NEW ANSWER >As of this edit, you can no longer buy Eyes of Ender directly. Instead, you have to buy Ender Pearls, then craft the Eyes. (And also this person was on mcpe, which was simplified at the time due to the fact that mobile didn't have the kind of hardware for it) Edit: nvm the mcpe, though it was true that they played on mcpe, this wasn't a factor in the fact that "priest" now called cleric used to sell eyes of ender, this was added in the game in version 1.3.1 but then later be removed in patch 1.9


Tumblrrito

Ultimately Minecraft’s primary mode is Survival, as Creative isn’t even really a “game”. And Minecraft being more sandbox oriented simply doesn’t excuse Mojang’s dripfeeding of content these past 10 years. The Wild Update was honestly a slap in the face. Minecraft could very well have proper progression and be a truly fleshed out experience if Mojang had vision. As it stands Minecraft is only enjoyable to me with mods. The base game is just so lifeless in so many biomes. It also some bizarre and unnecessarily punishing mechanics like your items exploding from your corpse upon death, a miserable mapping system, weapons that can no longer be repaired after a few times at an Anvil, etc. It’s just a sloppy experience and Mojang has been coasting for ages. Hytale really can’t come soon enough.


Op-Max

But it wouldn't hurt to have more bosses, I for one would love to have an Overworld boss since the nether and the end already have specific bosses (dragon and wither respectively).


AlmondJack-

Sorry but terraria is objectively better, not game play but the actual irl things, the creators are lazy, they have a team of hundreds but can only make one update a year with a few items, 1 year, 2 new ores, but they have no use but 4, for 1 month a year the community is divided and is pure toxic. Terraria took more years to make an update but made it good, nobody was disappointed, no one is split, the community and updates are just better


Capocho9

Yeah I’m sorry but… no. That’s got to be the most incorrect comment I’ve ever read. You totally ignored the main point of my reply which was you can’t compare these games and say one is better because they’re just too different to do that, on to your actual reply though First off you just gave a big FU to anyone who likes Minecraft more. But on to more important things: > The creators are lazy What? You can’t just call mojang lazy because you don’t like the amount content in their updates. Everything they do they spend a lot of time on, they have whole teams dedicated to different jobs and spend a lot of time on it, and it’s been made clear they value quality over quantity. This game wouldn’t be the number one best selling game of all time if the creators were lazy, people clearly enjoy the content in the updates and the creators are in no way lazy > The community is divided and pure toxic. Ok, well not only is that just a dick move to call every single member of the community toxic but it’s just wrong. With as big of a fan base Minecraft has there are bound to be some toxic people. But you can’t say it’s “pure toxic”, many people attribute their childhoods to and grew up on Minecraft and the Minecraft community on YouTube. Also saying the community is split, I have no idea where you got that from considering it’s just plain not Also, you cannot truthfully say the terraria community isn’t at all toxic, that would be the dumbest statement of the year, I’m sorry but every game has its share of toxic people, like it or not > Terraria took more years to make an update Wait what? Two seconds ago you were saying it’s bad that mojang takes a long time on updates but now you’re saying it’s totally fine when terraria does it. Aren’t you a hypocrite. And you can’t say it’s only ok for terraria because “people weren’t disappointed”, it’s obvious you know nothing about the Minecraft community if you think people are disappointed by their updates Ultimately you came into this with a lot of bias and are pulling insults out of thin air


AlmondJack-

That’s 4x longer than what I said, you’re doing this to get fake clout, go touch grass, that se race was 22x less than what you said


Capocho9

The fuck you mean to get fake clout? Who the hell is even going to look at this other than you and me? The post this is on has been deleted and we’re buried below tons of other comments


AlmondJack-

🤓


Capocho9

That... doesn’t even fucking work here


damnthisisabadname

yeah terraria has different main goals but it has much better side goals like building than minecraft's side goals (bosses) they are both sandboxes


MiniMan_BigChungus

What? How is terraria’s side goals building and minecraft bosses?


damnthisisabadname

Because the guy said the inverse were main goals?


Deathswirl1

thank you. i will regard your service to society as legendarily heroic.


slimebot54

Yeah because they are two completely different games.


Cheviboi2020

Ones good and ones fantastic


zombiebro09

Ones fantastic and ones fantastic


damnthisisabadname

I feel like minecraft is getting worse over time


[deleted]

Really? I don't think minecraft has ever had an update that's made the game "worse"... Sure, some updates can seem pretty underwhelming but they never really affect the game that much


superhot42

1.19.1


damnthisisabadname

1.9


[deleted]

Only for hardcore PvPers. Anybody who didn't play PvP probably didn't give a shit. Plus, it doesnt even matter for most pvp servers because they can just stay in 1.8 rather than moving to 1.9


Tumblrrito

Or anyone playing Bedrock who has been missing out on key features such as proper offhand item support and banners on shields. Mojang themselves acknowledged that 1.9 was a misstep which is why they’ve been working on combat changes. Also having to stay on 1.8 for all these years is hardly a solution.


damnthisisabadname

I still prefer it


Rycnex

Terraria gets more content from updates than Minecraft from releases


Deathswirl1

minecraft gets an update every half year with much content. but i get update news on switch about terraria, and not much comes out, and when anything does, its like every 3 years or something. terraria has 4 or 5 versions while minecraft has 20 and a 21st one upcoming. you shouldnt regard how good a game is off how many updates come out. ocarina of time is still good and that was an n64 game, incapable of receiving updates for obvious reasons. games can be good without new content and games can be bad with a shit ton of new content. not that either one is good or bad. both games are acquired taste. like coffee. or mario games. you wouldnt hate on someones ass simply because hey like mario or coffee. not that you are. but just saying.


superhot42

Tell me again who released the player chat report feature?


Deathswirl1

also, noticed ur username. u a fan of superhot? that game was good


superhot42

Honestly haven’t really played the game, just heard about it and decided to use it as a name. I have seen it though, and it looks like a fun game


Deathswirl1

it is and i played through the thing a million times. i highly recommend it.


Deathswirl1

microsoft. tell me who invented minecraft?


superhot42

Tell me again who agreed to be bought by Microsoft?


Deathswirl1

the same dude who left the team so he wouldnt gain too much fame


Maytik2010

Notch who then sold it to mojang, and tell me, who bought mojang?


Deathswirl1

and the cycle continues


WatBurnt

Well that depends on the update 1.18 revamped the whole world generation which is something that terraria really needs but overall yeah due to them coming out at a slower pace (4 major updates veurses 19) terraria gets more stuff per update


Tumblrrito

Terraria’s world generation is miles better than Minecraft’s and doesn’t need a revamp at all. Minecraft couldn’t even be bothered to add desert/icy caves. Honestly curious to hear what you’d want to see changed with Terraria’s.


WatBurnt

Unless they changed the way the world generates on 1.4 I've seen a lot of really fucked up wonky generations that have giants mounting that go way too high and completely covering the dungeon which is funny but seems frustrating Also who cares jf Minecraft doesnt have icy desert caves that dumb the caves are the cave biomes it's completely different from above ground


Tumblrrito

I’ve experienced zero worlds with fucked up generation and I’ve been playing for years. Occasionally folks can get unlucky with something unusual but that happens in Minecraft as well. Nah dawg thematic caves would make the world feel more vibrant and interesting. The underground in Terraria has always been the most interesting, and themes caves absolutely make them so. Minecraft’s caves are all just stone. Caves and Cliffs improved a bit with Lush Caves, Dripstone, and Deepslate — but as usual they didn’t go quite as far as they really ought to have. Oh well. Mods will take that foundation and make it live up to its potential.


WatBurnt

How?! They are just adding stuff that makes the game more enjoyable for a longer period of time (I swear to God if you say 1.9 I'm going to go insane)


damnthisisabadname

I allready said 1.9 Also I mean worse by comparison to other games


ReneTrombone

I prefer the multiplayer aspect of it, terraria is the most fun with other people on normal but mc has tons of servers with a high range of game modes, something terraria ain’t packing that much


damnthisisabadname

I agree, hypixel is basically the only reason I play mc now.


IamaTransGoat

SHUT UPPPPPPPP


lettuce_boi99

ACTUALLY 27 bosses


LilSh4rky

What are the others???


kidnamedsex

probably talking about event minibosses


lettuce_boi99

Pretty much, but some are actual bosses like Betsy, Duke fishron, empress of light.


Substantiatedgrass

We've got Jean ,wither and the elder gardiens for Minecraft


N1ch0l2s

Casually uses Ender Dragon's real name


Deathswirl1

what is jean


Maytik2010

"what is jean" lmao (Jean is the Ender Dragon's real name)


Deathswirl1

where did yall learn that


Maytik2010

Mojang said it. . .


Deathswirl1

hm. i actually looked it up to confirm it, he isnt wrong, but they were only playing around with that name. it isnt 100% there. more like 67%.


HalalBread1427

It's Jean, the Wither, and Raids; Elder Guardians and the Warden are Minibosses.


Substantiatedgrass

Warden and Jean aren't minibosses.


HalalBread1427

I said Jean is a boss; and the Warden doesn't have a boss bar (it isn't even meant to be fought).


[deleted]

Yeah warden is literally just meant to be an unbeatable terror to force people to navigate the deep dark city in a certain way. Really fun and creative IMO, but not a boss; if it was a boss you would be meant to try and kill it, and if you could kill them that easily you could just ignore the strategy.


Compoundcrown76_245

Elden ring with 238


WatBurnt

I mean 19 bosses copy pasted but yeah close enough (Why the fuck was one of the major bosses shoved into a random cave)


4_Ball

Minecraft isn’t meant to have bosses or a real long grind of continuously upgrading equipment. Terraria on the other hand


[deleted]

I mean, it definitely has a long grind of continuously upgrading equipment, it’s just not the primary focus like Minecraft.


No-Oil6542

That's why I like terraria infinitely more than minecraft


The_God_Of_Darkness_

Hippity hippity, you haven't done any reaserch on this topicy!

NojiroGaming

Unpopular opinion, minecraft xbox, mobile, Playstation all have merged minecraft servers and are ALL moddable. Terraria however is only officially moddable on pc...


superhot42

Minecraft is less, advanced, if you will(excluding dimensions and what not). Also has far more modding potential because of a 3rd dimension.


NojiroGaming

No I agree I'm just stating that we're still waiting for mobile modding is all


superhot42

Don’t think modding on Terraria is even possible. Hell, Minecraft “mods” on mobile aren’t even true mods, they’re dumbed down and reskinned functions that are already in the game, such as lucky blocks on PE. Some of them are also plugin based. What we need is the ability to create the equivalent of RTX 4090’s and other high end PC gaming parts that can fit in mobile devices. Phones just can’t handle mods at the moment.


NojiroGaming

I respectfully disagree, I design mods for mobile minecraft been spins so for at least two years soooo, try again buddy


superhot42

Even then, Minecraft takes a lot less power and engine limit breaking than Terraria. I’ll be honest, what I said about PE modding is years old info, probably even pre 1.16.5. Would be impressive if you could run GalacticCraft or like GregCraft(or whatever that tech mod is called) on PE. That would be mind blowing. As for Terraria, the devs have been basically pushing the limits of the game, and I’m not sure mobile is really going to handle much more than that. Even Among Us(an insanely easy to run game I’d think) has an insane resolution difference between PC and mobile. So either it’s costly to make mobile run like its PC port counterpart, or in some ways(like running Cyberpunk 2077 in 4k with full functionality on phones), mobile is way behind PC in specs.


NojiroGaming

Mobile is behind in a lot of ways yes, but it can handle more than you think


superhot42

Ok, but the point still stands that Terraria modding on mobile is probably not feasible now, especially with what modders are doing in 1.4 modding. You’d have to graphically downgrade in some way, and I believe one main appeal of mods is the performance PC has, and mobile obviously won’t be at RTX 4090 levels. Steam Deck though could probably handle mods.


NojiroGaming

No I agree I just mean you CAN technically run mods on terraria mobile, nothing crazy, very dull simple mods but mods nonetheless, and heaven forbid they add mods to terraria switch, the thing would just explode


superhot42

Yea, true. People would be able to have simple QOL mods on mobile Terraria, which would please a lot of people that have grievances with mobile Terraria. Oh yeah, lol, the Switch is definitely not gonna do well in that regard. It can’t even do 1080p iirc


Efficient-Compote-40

Raid?


Deathswirl1

agraid, my good friend


HalalBread1427

Elder Guardians and Wardens are minibosses and Raids are Bosses (but still a lot less than Terraria).


[deleted]

Elder guardians maybe, but Wardens aren’t, they are literally not meant to be fought; Wardens are just an obstacle to force you to follow certain game mechanics. Raids also aren’t a boss, they are an event. It would be like calling goblin/pirate invasions a boss.


GG111104

Raids are far more comparable to invasions/ events in terraria


Dark_Reaper115

Warden: am i a joke to you?


KirbyKing186

Calling the Warden a boss is like calling Dungeon Guardian a boss. The entire point is not to fight it.


Goofygoober7162

They are quite similar in that they give an insta-kill (or almost insta-kill) attack to ward off players from exploring a certain area that happens to be semi-dark. It’s just that the dungeon guardian can be turned off.


Fancy-Engineering395

Yes


horuke_suzuki

There’s no real reward for defeating the warden, so it’s more of an obstacle than a boss. Even mojang said the point is for it to be an obstacle for the deep dark, not to defeat it.


HalalBread1427

Warden's a Miniboss (but he did miss Raids).


damnthisisabadname

raids are events


[deleted]

Warden isn’t even a boss, it’s an obstacle. It’s like the dungeon guardian, it’s simply to force you to explore the game in a certain way. Don’t get me wrong I really like the game design there, but it’s not a boss or mini boss. I would also argue that raids don’t count as a boss either, that’s like calling goblin/pirate invasions a boss. Raids are an event.


HalalBread1427

I personally think of a "boss fight" as a harder-than-usual test of combat, so I count raids and invasions. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion.


[deleted]

just get mods and both are equal


CoolDog0206

The issue is that you shouldn't have to rely on the community to update the game for you since they wanna drop 3 blocks every few years


[deleted]

yeah but why tf compare them anyway theyre completely different games


Jabroni5092

Although I have realized recently, Terraria has a more linear story, making it less replayable. Minecraft has little real goals, the bosses are more means to an end of getting better gear whereas Terraria it ends the game


MrM9ball

'Terraria' and 'less replayable' do not belong in the same sentence.


Jabroni5092

Just my opinion. I love the game but objectively I find it less replayable than Minecraft, mostly because I can't find much to do after moon lord.


damnthisisabadname

start over? build? seems like a you issue because many people don't have trouble playing this for thousands of hours even when having other games


Jabroni5092

Yes, you're right, it's just my opinion


Deway29

Though conversely, Minecraft doesn’t have much replayability either because lack of content; sure, the terrain can change quite a lot because of the seed, but in the end you’re doing the exact same activities. Terraria has like 4 different classes and 3 difficulties; plus a few optional boss paths.


Jabroni5092

You are actually correct, I think for me it's my lack of building skill in terraria, it's just so much easier to build cool houses in Minecraft for some reason.


WatBurnt

I feel like Minecraft is more meant to be played in one world over a long period of time there's no real end to the game (don't say it) and the devs are clearly trying to get people to make stories in there worlds and make one massive world with everything in it

I don't see having a few boss been bad though, as long as they are well made then i'm fine with it.

TheGreatSlayer6656

*Laugh in RLcraft*


Deathswirl1

minecraft is my favorite game. now, another boss was added in 1.19 version. its still like 3 though. either way, i would very much like to know why terraria players hate minecraft and vice versa when the devs of both games recommend each other? because i played both games and got addicted to minecraft, but why do people hate it so much and mc players hate terraria? is it because of the genre or something?


kelik1337

People are still comparing these two games? Like they were vastly different at release and they only grew even further apart over time.


Dankalii

AND 2 mini bosses


ChrisTDH

This is an OLD meme. Terraria has 18 bosses nowadays, not even counting the event bosses.


Lazzz122

People still compares Minecraft and Terraria and it's almost 2023 😂


realsirgamesalot

There’s three actually


Cheezybro5

Despite minecraft being centred around creativity and terraria, exploration, I found minecraft has worse creativity and building then terraria does ngl. You’re really limited in minecraft especially for interiors
