Got some of your own Life Hacks? let me know what they are!

Ignore the one at 4:12, I completely forgot they changed how wiring works in the temple before you kill Golem! my bad 🤦‍♀️

Small but EXTREMELY helpful lifehack that I feel like should be known (if it already isnt known enough) is to ALWAYS pick up the chests you loot. It's good to grab more chests as it saves so much iron/lead and especially is helpful early game when you fill your inventory with tons of items.
It may seem like an obvious thing to do but I have over 1.5k hours in the game and I still forget to do that most of the time.

Hey chippy, I just want to say that I met two of my best friends because of you. Two years ago I wore my small chippy shirt and one of them recognized it and gave me his steam and the other guy noticed and we all started talking. Since then they’ve been the two best friends I’ve ever had. They’re headed off to college next year but we’re playing terraria feather worthy before they head out. TLDR: thank you chippy for indirectly creating the best thing that’s ever happened to me :)

(Edit: American college, I think y’all call it university over there)

Terraria is a game where there is always something new to learn

Another thing you can do for the cultist fight is to fight him at night

The fight is basicly the same but when the clone phase starts the cultists will be the odd one out because the clones have no shadowing from the night

A trick I learnt using the armour swapping from 1.4.4 is that you can equip hallowed armour in one of them to give you a way to dodge attacks every 30 seconds, as the cooldown for the buff to reactivate does tick down even while you don't have the armour equipped. I found this really useful for dodging moon lord's death ray, as he doesn't use it very often and its usually easy to tell in advance if you're about to get hit by it

Halloween is the best moment to start a new playthrough. Not only do enemies drop goodie bags, but also pumpkins spawn in the overworld, which can make for a really potent armor starting out. Plus the goodie bags have a chance to drop a good starting weapon. Which makes all the difference in master mode.

Alternatively, speedrunning for a bucket of lava in a corruption world can allow you to farm for ancient shadow armor. Which skips all regular ore armors starting out.

A trick that blew my mind is one related to the duplicating water trick.

If you put a floating block below the liquid that's falling down, that liquid will also duplicate.

So you basically can actually build a pyramid of floating blocks and as long as they don't touch each other and they're bellow the sides where the liquid is falling... You can make it generate a tob more liquid (kinda like those champagne glass towers where you pour the champagne and the liquid also falls to the glasses bellow).

Ice blocks are basically more accessible asphalt blocks if you have frostspark or terraspark boots. Use them in your arenas.

Something most of the people don't know is that when you got killed by Plantera and if you automaticly check the map when respwan you will be able to see her move on to the new place where the plant to invocate her will be, so you can try to invocated and defead her again

[TheGreatCyberwolf]

You can make a one-way passage with platforms. Placing 3 platforms against a wall, then hammering them to be stairs facing the wall will completely remove collision for that wall face, allowing players, entities and projectiles to pass through, but not BACK as the other side is still solid. This is useful for kill chambers, as the player can use weapons like spears or ranged weapons to kill enemies from complete safety

[kappakim]

Load out can be used for temporary extra inventory slots for accessory during exploration

Simple tip, place torches next to your doors on the inside of your houses to prevent enemies from breaking into them but still allowing NPCs to move in and out of them normally. The goblin army and similar events will still break the doors down tho

[m_e_l__z]

a couple simple ones that i learned from the wiki but are pretty helpful are that meteors won't fall if there are already 401/610/801 blocks of meteorite in the world (small, medium, and large world size respectively) or anywhere within 35 blocks of a chest or player, and that on the map, plantera bulbs take up a 4x3 space of pixels, with a green base and 4 pixels of pink at the top, which makes it a lot easier to find them

another few i learned in my experience is that you can double click on the map to set a marker so that you don't forget where you're going, especially in very windy caves, and also that the celestial pillar enemies drop banners, so putting some of those down could help make beating the pillars a little easier

Tip: Cracked dungeon bricks can be broken with projectiles, and this includes yoyos. You can effortlessly clear a path by just swinging a yoyo in front of you.

Keep every special item you find that says "material", this can save you a lot of time trying to get items like the shellphon, ankh or ankh shield, and even zenith.

[FalandraAoC]

10:55 the lava trick works much better / faster if you empty the bucket on the upper block on the very right of the whole construction and quickly gather the lava that flows down into the "cup" at the left side of that block. Pools can be filled much quicker that way.

[Stick_TKD]

You can plant palm trees (saplings on sand) with a one space gap between each one, making it more efficient than planting saplings with auto cursor mentioned at 3:00.
