Terraria Labor of Love Update Release Date: September 28, 2022

Terraria 1.4.4's new features

There are a lot of new things coming to Terraria during the 1.4.4 update. Because of this, we will just be focusing on a few of the biggest changes that it will bring. One of these big changes is the Rubblemaker. The Rubblemaker is a piece of equipment that allows players to place down decorative items such as logs, rock piles, and the like. Prior to 1.4.4, players could only place these items down if they used a third-party map editing software such as TEdit. Now, the player just needs to have the requisite material in their inventory, and they will be able to place these decorations.

Another big change is the introduction of the Echo Coating. Echo blocks are basically invisible blocks that first arrived during the Journey's End update. While it is very useful for decorating a house with floating objects and the like, that was really it. With the introduction of the Echo Coating, however, any block can become invisible. Along with the Echo Coating comes an item that allows players to reveal all Echo items in the vicinity. That means players can hide whole bases in plain sight, and just have them appear out of thin air at will.

Some other small changes to the game include increasing the stack limit from 999 to 9999, as well as quite a few new blocks, trees, liquids, and more. There are also balance changes to the already existing weapons and accessories in the game.
