…as opposed to what, exactly? I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone compare the two

When Terraria came out, the first reaction some people had was "so, it's just a minecraft knock-off, but lame, because it's 2D?"
This endured about a millisecond until people noticed what Teraria was about.
That was before Minecraft's concepts were adapted in so many games.
Wasnt terraria fully released before minecraft?
Minecraft released its' alpha in 2009. Terraria came out in 2011.
Spinks has credited Minecraft as direct inspiration. Terraria was first released among the gobs and gobs of minecraft clones, yet it was obvious that Terraria wasn't a clone.
As for "Full Release", Terraria was first released as a fully working game, with it's 1.0 being the first public release in May 2011. Minecraft 1.0.0 was November 2011. Minecraft's first public release was Classic 0.0.11a in May 2009.

10 years ago it was a common discussion on the gaming forums
I have too many games to try terraria, the list of shit I paid for but haven't played is already too big
I've only got 314 hours in it and not even half of the achievements. 😭

Not as good as Fortnite but they’ll get better in a couple more years.

I obsessed with terraria for a while but never really bothered to try Minecraft. Just a matter of taste.
They're more different than people might expect. I like both, but they're very different experiences.
"There" is a location. "They're" is a contraction of "they are".
Their not worried about it
I think it's just a matter of they're priorities.
Maybe it’s a greeting?
Hey there! both good
On Reddit I always assumed that so many people can't be that stupid and make these obvious mistakes for engagement bait.
But now that we are on Lemmy, and engagement gets you nowhere, I'm losing faith in humanity at a faster pace.

Dwarf Fortress.
If you want to make cool things, you play Minecraft. If you want to do cool things, you play Terraria. In Minecraft, it's all about gathering resources and building, and the combat is an obstacle on the way to that. In Terraria, it's about combat, and you gather resources and reshape the world to help you fight bosses.

Also quite different. I think Terraria is objectively better than base game Minecraft, though, after their respective updates (which I blame Microsoft monetization). When modded, they're both great games.
I still love working against the clock to stop corruption from taking over my Terraria planet, though. Reclaiming land is a thing I like, but there are mods like that in Minecraft too that are really fun of you're into it.
I bought Terraria when I was really into Minecraft. Didn’t like it at first because the only Minecraft thing is “pick up blocks and crafting”, but once I gave it a fair shake I absolutely loved it.
Fuck, now I have the game music stuck in my head from thinking about the game!
Doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo, rii tii tii tiiiii

Probably the only reason I did not get into Terraria as an experienced Minecraft player is that my brain really hates 2D worlds.
I realize I miss out on many wonderful games, but how the hell do you feel comfortable restricted to one plane? This constantly makes me as a character feel I'm out in the open from two sides, and God knows what's there.
Maybe it's some weird quirk, but my brain is strictly 3-dimensional.
okay but in 3d space you are open from more sides, in terraria at least you can see those 2 sides, in minecraft theres always behind, above, and to the sides
Yes, but my brain subconsciously interprets 2D worlds as ones in which there are front and back (away from screen and in front of it), and I just can't look there and see what's there.
Like if you'd build a house with floor, two walls on the opposite sides, and the ceiling, and would decide to completely ignore that your house is actually a tube and two sides are wide open to the outside world.
Sounds like FEZ, where the gameplay is in 2D, but you need to move in 3D.
Yeah, kinda captures the idea.

Do you feel the same about top down 2d? (Factorio, Stardew Valley, etc.)?
If you think about it, sidescrollers are just top down with a weird gravity.
Have you seen new gamers try to navigate 3D spaces? 2D is much more accessible to a lot of folks.

Poor Starbound, forgotten to the ages...
Forgotten to the 'it's not as good'.
They really don't even overlap.
Freeform building and exploring, crafting, survival, pixel art, endless gameplay. There and definitely a lot of similarities, especially compared to say CS:GO.
Oh, and don't forget the insane modding communities.
Even though I love Minecraft, it's undeniable that Terraria actually has a lore, and the adventure part of it is much, much better than Minecraft's.
Oh, they definitely go about everything differently, but it's a relatively similar difference.
Like Chimpanzees and Aye Ayes. Both share the majority of their features, being primates, but they use them very differently.
