Terraria is a 2D game with a lot of digging, building, and blowing things up with a large arsenal of ridiculous weaponry.

Revisional Differences
There's a lot of them.

Unobtainable Items

First Fractal (Item ID 4722)


Statistics
Damage	190
Knockback	6.5
Critical Chance	14%
Use time	35
Velocity	32
Rarity	Red
Sell Value	20 Gold

This weapon is currently present within the game and works normally when cheated in using an inventory editor. Attacking with the weapon will cause clones of the user to fly forward and attack the closest enemy with the First Fractal itself, which uses one of 15 sprites (right). It's an early revision of a item added in 1.4 called Zenith, as confirmed by the developers.

It wasn't included because "as a melee weapon it did not feel melee, endgame, or clean enough. The player silhouettes ended up being confusing to some because they're dependent on the player's looks, and there was not a good enough clear line of action."

"First Fractal" is also the name of an item that was planned to be added for 1.3 but was later scrapped.

It was added in version 1.4.0.1.

Skull Bow (Item ID 4058)


Statistics
Damage	8
Knockback	5
Critical Chance	4%
Use time	17
Velocity	11
Rarity	Orange
Sell Value	2 Gold

This sprite and stats for this weapon are in the game's files but it is not currently accessible even through inventory editors. The Skull Bow's stats and design seem to indicate that the weapon was intended to be found as some sort of rare drop from Underground Skeletons, as its stats make it seem like it was supposed to be on par with the Bone Sword and Bone Pickaxe, but was ultimately scrapped. It was added in version 1.4.0.1.

Celestial Tools

Version 1.3.0.1 of the game added the new Celestial event, which features new items and tools that can be obtained by defeating a boss at the end. Some of the items from the set of tools are unobtainable, such as the chainsaws, hammers, and axes. The axes, hammers, and chainsaws seem redundant, as the game already has and uses hamaxes (tools that function as both a hammer and an axe) for these tool types. But, 1.4 introduced the drills as they were changed to be more distinct from normal pickaxes.

Unobtainable Banners

Terraria includes banners, decorative items that provide an offensive buff that drop upon every 50th kill of a particular enemy in a given world. Several of these banners, namely the White Cultist Caster, White Cultist Fighter, and Poisonous Spore banner represent enemies that don't exist anywhere else.

Internal Item ID	Banner (Placed)	Banner (Inventory)	Item Name
2903			Blue Cultist Fighter Banner
2989			White Cultist Archer Banner
2990			White Cultist Caster Banner
2991			White Cultist Fighter Banner
2404			Poisonous Spore Banner
3398			Severed Hand Banner
3424			Small Star Cell Banner

They were all added in version 1.3.0.1.

Pixel Box (Item ID 3725)

The Pixel Box is an unobtainable mechanism (something activated with buttons and wires) that appears fully illuminated when activated, but provides no light. According to the developers, the Pixel Box "was an attempt at a single-block light that would be easier to use to make things light up or not, but it ended up not satisfactory". It was added in version 1.3.1.

Unused Trapped Chests

Internally referred to as ItemName.Fake_newchest1 (Item ID 3705) and ItemName.Fake_newchest2 (Item ID 3706), they are early versions of the Trapped Crystal Chest and Trapped Golden Chest, and appear visually identical. They are extremely buggy, and when mousing over them they cause the player to freeze, even in-air, as well as making all equipped accessories and vanity armor invisible. They sell for 1 silver each. They were both added in version 1.3.1.

Color Only Dye (Item ID 3978)

The Color Only Dye makes the player completely white. It's sprite is a copy of the Unicorn Wisp Dye. It sells for 1 gold, 50 silver. It was added in version 1.4.0.1.

White Cultist Archer (NPC ID 380)

The stats shown are for Classic, Expert, and Master mode, respectively.

The White Cultist Archer is a Cultist variant that was added in version 1.3.0.1, and has been unable to spawn since.

Jungle Mimic (NPC ID 476)

The stats shown are for Classic, Expert, and Master mode, respectively.

The Jungle Mimic is a miniboss that was introduced in version 1.3.0.1 alongside the Corrupt, Crimson, and Hallowed mimics, but without any unique items, and without any legitimate way to spawn it. However, since the release of 1.4.2.3, Jungle Mimics will occassionally spawn in the jungle when you're using the "celebrationmk10" world seed, and have a new set of drops.

1.3.0.1 - 1.4.2.2

Dazed Effect (Buff ID 160)

This effect, while coded in the game, cannot be inflicted by any normal methods. The effect causes the player to move slower and jump lower than normal. The tooltip says "Movement is greatly slowed". It was added in version 1.3.0.1.

Lunatic Cultist Treasure Bag (Item ID 3331)

Unlike every other boss, the Lunatic Cultist does not drop a treasure bag upon defeat in Expert mode. If cheated in, the bag has a 1 in 7 chance of dropping the Ancient Cultist Mask, and will also drop 20 Silver Coins.

Unimplemented Items

Mud Ball (Projectile ID 39)

Prior to version 1.0.5, Mud Blocks had a chance to be subject to gravity, much like Silt Blocks and Sand Blocks. This particle effect was used when Mud Blocks would fall. Once this behavior was removed, this particle became unused.

Achievements

The game contains six unachieveable achievements.

Achievement Name	Achievement Description
Behind The Mask	Slay the Insane Cultist, a mad magician with powerful spells.
Davy Jones' Locker	Defeat the Flying Dutchman, the sails of the plunderin' skies.
Winterhearted	Defeat the Ice Queen, wicked witch of the coldest nights.
Pumpkin Smasher	Defeat the Pumpking, the spooky lord of hallow's eve.
Independence Day	Defeat a Mothership, overminds of the martian invaders.
Hex Education	Defeat a Goblin Summoner, conjurers of the darkest flames.

Phasic Warp Ejector (Item ID 2881)

This item seems to have been intended to be obtainable during the Martian Madness event, but all that exists is the Item ID and sprite. It was introduced in version 1.3.0.1. It has an associated projectile called the "Phasic Warp Disk", with no other information.

Mana Orb

This item was added to the game some time before release. Its intended function is unknown, as are the reasons for its abandonment. It could have potentially been an early concept for the mana meter. The developers have stated that it was to be "an orb of mana", which describes it rather well. This item's sprite can still be found in the content/images folder.

Unimplemented Old One's Army Items

All of these items were introduced in 1.3.4 and are all similarly only represented by a sprite, a name, and an Item ID.

Item ID	Name	Notes
3861	Ogre Treasure Bag
3862	Dark Mage Treasure Bag
3847	Ogre Mask	Not to be confused with Ogre Mask (Item ID 3865), which looks slightly different, but is completely obtainable in game.
3848	Goblin Mask
3849	Goblin Bomber Cap
3850	Etherian Javelin
3851	Kobold Dynamite Backpack
3853	Boring Bow	According to the developers, this weapon was ultimately scrapped because the other classes in the Dungeon Defenders 2 crossover were only represented by two weapons each, and out of the three designed for the Huntress class, this was the least interesting.

Apple Pie Slice (Item ID 4010)

Only attribute is the Tooltip "'Mmmm... pie.'"

Unused Grass Types

Two unused graphics for grass exist in the files, but aren't used. Neither of them have been updated since their introduction, and they still use old fill textures.

A yellow-green version of the grass texture. Judging by its filename, "Tiles_2_Beach", it was meant to be used in beach biomes, but it is unused as grass will appear as it does in locations such as the Forest as it does in the Beach.

A version of Crimson Grass with textures similar to the ones Flesh Blocks use. Its filename is "Tiles_199-gross". Supposedly was planned as an alternate version of Crimson Grass, as it has the same ID as Crimson Grass.

Buff Templates

A template of a buff, its filename is "Buff". It is also used for the Betsy's Wrath and Oiled debuffs, listed in the game as ID 203 and 204. They are only ever applied to enemies, making their need for a texture unneeded.

Bestiary Test

A test for the Bestiary. Most likely used for debugging in early stages of development for the bestiary.

Mount_Drill

The Main Machine.
The Drill part itself.

An older version of the Drill Containment Unit. It seems the Drillbit of the mount in this stage was a placeholder sprite, as it was out of proportion for Terraria's usual spriting style.

Removed Items

Icemourne


Statistics
Damage	44
Knockback	8
Use time	32
Rarity	Light Red
Sell Value	3 Gold

The Icemourne was introduced in version 1.2 as Item ID 673. In version 1.2.4, it was replaced by the Boreal Wood Work Bench. Even during the span of time the weapon was present within the game's files, it would simply deal no damage to any enemies if hacked in. The item is a reference to the Frostmourne weapon from the Warcraft franchise.

Scythe


Statistics
Damage	39
Knockback	6
Use time	25
Rarity	Cyan
Sell Value	2 Gold, 7 Silver

The Scythe was introduced in version 1.2 as Item ID 677. In version 1.2.4, it was replaced by the Boreal Wood Table. Even during the span of time the weapon was present within the game's files, trying to use it would simply place down an Angel Statue instead. The item is a reference to the anime Soul Eater.

Soul Scythe


Statistics
Damage	55
Knockback	8.75
Use time	36
Rarity	Light Red
Sell Value	3 Gold

The Soul Scythe was introduced in version 1.2 as Item ID 678. In version 1.2.2, it was replaced by the Red Potion. Even during the span of time the weapon was present within the game's files, trying to use it would simply place down an Angel Statue instead. The item is a reference to the anime Soul Eater.

Zapinator


Statistics
Damage	50
Knockback	3
Use time	7
Velocity	12
Rarity	Light Red

Formerly included in the game's release as Item ID 52, before being replaced by the Angel Statue in version 1.0.1. It's a Nintendo Zapper, used by the developers during testing to not have to worry about enemies.

Formerly Unobtainable Items

Red Potion (Item ID 678)


Statistics
Use time	17
Tooltip	'Only for those who are worthy'
Rarity	Light Red

The Red Potion was first added in version 1.2.2, replacing the Soul Scythe. Upon use, it gives you several debuffs that are all set to last for an hour, two hours, or three hours, depending on your gamemode. In version 1.4.0.1, it was made available at a 1/30 rate in chests in the "05162020" world seed. In version 1.4.0.3, it was also made available at a 1 in 10 rate in chests in the "for the worthy" world seed. If used in either of these worlds, the potion gives you (up to, in case the same effect is picked twice) 3 random buffs that each last for 30 minutes.

Unused Enemies

4th Snowman

A fourth Snowman enemy is functional in the game, though it is not used for unknown reasons. This type of snowman has dynamite lodged in its head. This enemy would most likely be used in the Frost Legion event, as the event features similar snowmen as enemies. It is located directly after the other snowmen by NPC ID. Curiously, it was resprited in the 1.3.5 update alongside other enemies, but is still unused.

Severed Hand

This enemy is meant to appear during the Solar Eclipse event, but was removed as the developers thought a small, fast enemy wouldn't work well in a dark, chaotic event.

None2

NPC ID 76. Judging by the filename, it's probably a placeholder. Its image file is the same as the Wandering Eye's texture from before 1.3.0.1 was released. For some reason, it is located before the Wandering Eye in NPC ID. Could've been used for testing the AI of enemies before release with the Wandering Eye as the latest test with this enemy, as it is present in-game but when attempting to force-load it, it despawns immediately.

StardustJellyfishSmall

NPC ID 408. It has the same appearance as Projectile ID 539, which is the small Flow Invaders that follow the larger one. It's possible that they were killable at one point, as certain projectiles, most notably caster fireballs and Vile Spit, are NPCs and can be killed.

DD2AttackerTest

NPC ID 547. It has the same appearance as the Angry Tumbler (NPC ID 546). It despawns instantly like None2 when force-loaded.

Fritz

The enemy seen during the Solar Eclipse event, Fritz, has an unused sprite.
