Crafting Guide

Crafting menu

To access the Terraria crafting menu, press the Inventory key (which is Esc by default) while in-game. This will bring up your inventory, as well as equipment slots and other options. The crafting menu is located in the bottom left of your screen, as indicated in the image below.



The items that can be currently crafted will appear in this menu. Your options are determined by the items you have in your inventory, as well as your proximity to various crafting stations. Next to an item's icon is where the Recipes for the respective craftable items will appear.

To navigate this menu, you can click or use the mouse wheel to scroll through items. To craft something, click the icon of the item you wish to craft. The item will attach itself to your cursor, and from there it can be placed in your inventory or dropped by clicking to the outside of your inventory. Large amounts of stackable items can be made by right-clicking and holding the icon to quickly create and stack that item until the stack is maxed. To exit your inventory, press the 'Esc' key again.

[edit] Crafting stations
Currently the available stations are the Work Bench, Furnace, Hellforge, Adamantite Forge‚ Alchemy Station, Iron Anvil, Mythril Anvil, Sawmill, Demon Altar, Keg, Cooking pot, Loom, Tinkerer's Workshop and a Table with Chair combination. When standing next to any of these stations, depending on the materials in your inventory, the crafting menu will be updated with more crafting options. Most recipes require the player to be next to a specific crafting station.
