Terraria’s mining and crafting are both more involved and complex than Minecraft’s, and represent a greater part of the game.
Minecraft isn’t so much about mining or crafting, but about having your own world with total freedom, which the title “Terraria” evokes more.
Ngl I honestly prefer terraria over minecraft. You still get a nice feeling of exploration and can build really cool structures, while having a more concrete overall goal
Unless you start counting servers and mods (which I would argue is unfair), terraria gives you a more complete and fulfilling journey
