Terraria secret seeds are hidden world modifiers you unlock by typing a phrase into the Seed field when you create a world. Type beam me up, make the world, and it's full of teleporters. Capitals, spacing and punctuation don't matter, so beammeup and bEam-me_Up work too. There are 37 of them as of the 1.4.5.8 desktop patch (October 2026), and every phrase is in the tables below.
They arrived with the 1.4.5 update, so they don't exist in 1.4.4 or earlier. The game never tells you the phrases, and they're stored hashed, so players found them by guessing. 35 turned up in the days after the January 27, 2026 release, and the last of that batch, we don't even test for that, was found on February 6. Two more, electric boogaloo and calm before the storm, came in desktop patch 1.4.5.7.
How to enter a Terraria secret seed
- Start a new world and pick your size and difficulty like normal.
- Type the phrase into the Seed field, which sits under the world name field.
- Generate the world.
Once you've discovered a seed, it shows up in a Secret Seeds sub-menu of the seed menu, where you can switch it on and off without retyping. That toggle menu came in desktop patch 1.4.5.4, and in-game descriptions for every seed followed in 1.4.5.5. Console, Switch and mobile all got secret seeds in their own 1.4.5 updates. The toggle menu and the two newest seeds came in desktop patches, though, so on console, Switch or mobile don't count on them being there. Check your version first.
Secret seeds vs. special seeds
Special seeds are the nine you can pick right in the seed menu: Drunk World, Not the Bees, Celebration Mk 10, The Constant, For the Worthy, No Traps, Remix, Zenith and Skyblock. Secret seeds are the hidden ones, and they usually do less: reshape the world, paint it, or flip an event on permanently. A few still change real mechanics, like what NPCs sell. Both kinds can be switched on together.
Skyblock is a special seed, so it isn't one of the 37. If that's what you're after, I wrote a full Terraria skyblock seed guide. It also stacks with secret seeds, which I get to below.
The full list of Terraria secret seeds
Phrases are exactly what you'd type. The bits in quotes are the game's own descriptions.
World paint
Only tiles placed during world generation get painted. Anything you build later is normal.
| Seed | What it does |
|---|---|
invisible plane | Whole world coated in Echo Coating ("Hidden in plain sight") |
monochrome | World painted gray |
negative infinity | World painted Negative |
x-ray vision | World coated Illuminant ("Why is it so bright in here?") |
World shape
| Seed | What it does |
|---|---|
jagged rocks | Extra chasms and pits ("Watch your step!") |
mole people | No surface layer ("The outside is so overrated...") |
planetoids | The world is small round planetoids |
such great heights | The surface layer sits higher, up in space |
waterpark | World is flooded ("The search for Atlantis begins!") |
Biomes
| Seed | What it does |
|---|---|
arachnophobia | No spider caves |
does that sparkle | Hallowed surface |
fish mox | No Corruption or Crimson at the start |
purify this | The entire world is infected by Corruption or Crimson |
sandy britches | Desert surface |
toadstool | Mushroom surface |
winter is coming | A world of snow and ice |
Structures
| Seed | What it does |
|---|---|
abandoned manors | Larger underground cabins |
beam me up | Teleporters scattered through the world |
more traps please | The name lies. This one means no traps ("No, seriously. We mean it this time, promise!") |
pumpkin season | The world starts with pumpkins |
rainbow road | Rainbow blocks and more |
save the rainforest | Extra, much larger Living Trees |
the care bears movie | Extra Floating Islands |
truck stop | World covered in Poo blocks |
we don't even test for that | The Portal Gun can spawn in any chest |
Events and weather
These switch on things that are normally temporary.
| Seed | What it does |
|---|---|
bring a towel | Neverending rain |
hocus pocus | Halloween event always active |
jingle all the way | Christmas event always active |
electric boogaloo | More lightning strikes (desktop 1.4.5.7) |
calm before the storm | No lightning strikes (desktop 1.4.5.7) |
Spawn points
| Seed | What it does |
|---|---|
how did I get here | Random spawn location |
royale with cheese | Spawns specific to team colors |
Everything else
| Seed | What it does |
|---|---|
double daring dangers | Two Dungeons ("Buy one Dungeon, get one free!") |
I am error | An Error world ("Cats and dogs, living together, mass hysteria!") |
night of the living dead | World filled with graveyards, and you start on a Blood Moon |
too easy | The world starts in Hardmode. Don't let the name fool you ("So, you have elected the way of pain...") |
what a horrible night to have a curse | You're a Vampire and have to avoid the sun ("SPF9000") |
Two of those names are traps. more traps please removes traps, and too easy is the opposite of easy. If you want a harder run, too easy, purify this and night of the living dead are the obvious starting points.
Combining secret seeds
Secret seeds stack with each other and with every special seed. Type each phrase once to discover it, then switch on the ones you want together in the Secret Seeds sub-menu. Most combos just add up, but some do something neither seed does alone:
mole people+sandy britchesswaps the Snow and Desert generation styles.mole people+does that sparkleturns the upper half of the world, from the surface down to the rock layer, into Hallow.mole people+toadstoolswaps Jungle and Glowing Mushroom biomes.mole people+the care bears moviegives you more Floating Islands, mostly up top and some lower down.fish mox+purify thisleaves the surface mostly pure while the underground and caverns are infected.winter is coming+jingle all the wayspawns Santa Claus instead of the Guide (not if Skyblock is also on).electric boogaloo+calm before the stormputs lightning frequency back to normal, but the lightning turns green and heals you for 80 HP.purify this+royale with cheesemeans Devourers and World Feeders only spawn after you've beaten the Eater of Worlds.waterparkfloods the world with whatever liquid would normally generate there, so honey if Not the Bees is on.
The paint seeds get less dramatic as you stack more. With four or more secret seeds active, invisible plane only coats dangerous blocks like traps, spikes and boulders, and monochrome only paints treasure gray. x-ray vision and invisible plane on their own split the world 50/50 between Echo and Illuminant.
Turn on all 37 secret seeds plus every special seed except Skyblock and you get the True Zenith world, which the wiki calls the highest world difficulty possible.
Secret seeds with the Skyblock seed
This is where the combos get fun. With Skyblock on:
such great heightsmoves the starting island up to the Space layer.mole peopleputs it in the Underground.how did I get heredrops it at a random spot.save the rainforestputs a Living Tree on your main island.waterparkmakes floating lakes.the care bears movie,does that sparkle,winter is coming,sandy britches,purify this,fish moxandtoadstoolall scatter extra floating islands of that biome across the world.
Read the skyblock seed guide first for how the loop works. If the idea of building up from a tiny island is what hooks you, my history of skyblock covers where it came from, and games like Terraria has other sandboxes to try when you've run through all 37 seeds.
Folly, if you like island starts
Folly is a free voxel game coming soon in early access where every player starts on their own small island. Here's how that loop works.
