Ah yes, the terrairia glitch in where you can obtain infinite speed through the manipulation of parallel universes and the most broken mechanic in the game: bees
*Fun fact:* With this setup, you could reach the speed of _light_ in about 64 days. (670,616,629 mph) That might seem like awhile, but the fastest man-made object _ever_ (A NASA spacecraft) went at 0.05% the speed of light. We can reach that speed in around 45 minutes. Also, in the time it took you to read this comment, you'd already be travelling at two times the speed of sound. (1540mph)
I believe the fastest man made object was a sewer hatch which had some serious explosives detonated in the tunnels beneath it The thing went so fast it was only visible for 1-2 frames Edit: It was a manhole hatch, close enough
I guess you could say then that the manhole cover is the fastest launched object while the probe has the greatest speed achieved (since it gained its speed from the sun's pull) Doesn't make it any less impressive tho

Actually, these are the _other_ unobtainable chests! There's four total- Two unobtainable trapped chests, and two unimplemented regular chests. But, you raise a really good point- The unobtainable trapped chests actually allow for the same glitch, and can be obtained fairly easily with Transmutation.

@@EthyrielY Ooooooh that's why the "Fake_" prefix was there, I assumed that there were only trapped chests due to the pattern but that makes more sense.
With a minion this glitch would effectively allow you to idle a few bosses to death without even needing a lance, but I don't know any vanilla ones that scale with player speed so it'd take quite a while. Though I'm pretty sure I've run across a mod or two that did . . .
Summons behave weirdly with this glitch (in that they get snapped when you mouse over it), but sentries work fine! And I'm sure there's other things I haven't tried that still work. Relevantly, minecarts also still deal damage while in this state, but your speed is capped at the infinite bee speed.
I have a small idea on why this happens for anyone who is curious (this is just a theory and i would need to look into the game's code to actually verify but its an idea): The bee mount has 2 states, as stated in the video. The flying one, and the grounded one. As soon as the bee is airborne, even by walking off a block, it becomes flying, thus its state in the code switches to flying. Then, the bee's downwards speed cap is set to 20mph, as thats the cap of the flying state. The grounded state, however, should never be airborne, since as soon as the bee is off the ground, it should be flying state. Therefore the devs likely never put in a cap to how fast the grounded bee mount can move downwards due to gravity, as in their eyes, it would never happen, since the game is always checking if the bee is airborne or not, and to have downwards speed applied to you, you need to be airborne in regular logic, thus meaning the flying state would be applied, meaning a downwards speed cap exists. Thus leading to the infinite speed the bee mount can obtain while grounded. You found a way to be falling while on the ground, good job
The lesson to learn here is that you should never assume 'well there's no way this can happen, there's no need to check for it'. If I know anything about programming, especially for a game as large as Terraria, you should assume that given enough time, it'll end up in an edge-case where it _will_ happen.
I find that on PS4, mousing over the chest in the world and in the map will instantly cause a crash, forcing you into the "An error has occurred" screen.
Yeah, that seems to happen unfortunately. A crash also happens on PC if you pause while hovering over the chest (though the two don't seem related.) Unsurprisingly, the game was not coded to handle this. I just underestimated how "not coded to handle this" it would be on console!
Bees in Minecraft: we float around and collect pollen from flowers to make Honey and Honeycombs, but please don't attack us or try to steal it from us or we will attack back! (We don't do much damage, and smoke and Dispensers can keep us calm...) Bees in Terraria: DISTURB OUR HIVES AND WE SHALL MAKE YOU FEEL OUR FURY, BUT CONQUER OUR QUEEN AND WE WILL GIVE YOU LIMITLESS POWER.
You absolutely can! The best way to do this is with a one-time circuit using a dart trap, a teal pressure plate, and sand. Past about 750,000mph, you traverse the entire height of a large world in one gametick (1/60th of a second). And it's possible to accelerate past that... I honestly don't know what (if anything) might happen in such scenarios.
@@EthyrielY would it be possible to set up teleporters like with the water + floatie trick to send you to the top of the world, mostly to stall to use the jousting lance?
I love terraria bugs and glitches, from unpatchable (and patchable too, mostly on PC) duping glitches, to doing all these steps. Such specific and complex steps, but also completely random, lead to incredible things. Can't wait to try pc soon, shame there's never been stuff like this on console
if your worried about projectiles, what you can do is shoot 1000 flares into a box to reach the projectile cap and make it so that bosses cant spawn new ones
other game's glitches: if we move here we can clip through the wall, and if we put this here and press 2 buttons kinda fast we duplicate the item terraria: * creates a parallel universe with malicious intent *
the lance speed can be achived in another way, with a floatie you can float on water but if your in water then put on the floatie you will accelerate to get to the top of the water, so if you build a atleast 4 block wide tunnel that goes up with water inside and put a platform on the back part and jump in you will achive inf speed so with lance you can insta kill mostly anything
if you augment this with an array of teleporters, you can reach a speed of 1 map height per frame. this was the method used by mappy to kill dungeon guardian in 1 tick, and even double back scale the dmg numbers in terraria (your hitting so hard it dealt 15k dmg more than the full 64bit integer cap x2)
It is! This is the new, one-instance method which I have been meaning to make a dedicated guide about for awhile. It's faster, more consistent, and basically better in every single way lol edit: You could also use this same setup to obtain any item the other Transmutation setups could. In this instance we're just using it to set-up the chest glitch.
fun visual glitch that i don't think will be very useful: when you hover your mouse over the glitched chest while falling and shooting a gun, you can go onto a mount and the position of the gun sprite doesn't change
Funny, me and a friend have that exact same glitch with a crystal chest, and it's existed before the transmutation glitch existed. We don't even know how the glitch happened, but I think it might have been a result of a tedit bug, although I'm not certain. I've tested it, and the speed glitch works. I could probably send the world file if you contacted me, if you're interested that is, although I'm unsure about if the transfer would break the chest. Edit: I've learned a bit more and it was just a coincidence that it's a crystal chest because it's the other one like it I am big dumb
i've seen a similar contraption but it also used a door and you could get any item in the game so long as you can manipulate the item IDs into changing to desired ones. Yes, even the Zenith
Indeed! That's Transmutation for you. I'm hoping to make more videos on it since my previous explanations are a bit out of date at this point, with the new tech that's been discovered.
The last time I’ve seen anything about insane speed in Terraria was in a mappygaming video where he reached 756k mph, now I wonder if he’ll find some insane way reach higher speeds with this glitch
I think that the top speed is limited by how long you can keep your cursor over the chest, but something else in the game might break first. I reached about 5,400,000 mph by leaving it overnight, which is a bit under 1% the speed of light.
Dude this video freaking rocks. I've been playing this game for nearly a decade and it never ceases to amaze me, the weird and beautiful things there are to be found. I don't even know where I would begin in trying to achieve something like this in Terraria, but you big brained it so hard. Kudos =)
Aargh, I'm annoyed at myself that I missed that, given that I do alot with kinematics and therefore work with metric units regularly lol Thanks for pointing it out^^!
Hey, Ethy. Video idea: This isn't exactly a glitch suggestion, but it IS related to using bees to gain infinite speed. In Calamity, Auric ore can bounce players and NPC that aren't wearing Auric Tesla Armor. And after some testing, I discovered that the uncapped MPH on the bee mount, works for this property as well. Meaning, if one were to set up a box of Auric ore, and hop on the bee mount, (or if your using DragonLens, cursor teleporting into a mass of Auric,) it sends the player flying at Mach speed, and if they're trapped, it should *theoretically* allow for infinite speed generation. I've done some testing, and found some pretty interesting results. Go check it out for yourself!
The cool thing about terraria is that you don’t NEED a glitch like this to beat the game, if you are having so much trouble you can literally go to another server and get whatever you want. I was just thinking about it since I saw that and though “oh I gotta get back into playing to beat some hard bosses” But nah. Also I gotta get back into terraria. It’s so good.
I love Terraria for its nuanced progression- it's why I have so many hours in the game. I also just so happen to have a knack for breaking games. Stuff like this is the consequence of that lol
Mappy's video was an inspiration for this whole search for infinite speed, actually! (And for my glitch pursuits as a whole.) I wanted to see if there was an easier / more compact way to achieve high DPS via lances, and this was the result!
"So you have a box, 'kay. If you take a cat statue, create a parallel universe, saw-off the bottom part of the statue, and place that above the box- you get a glitchy box. Now, if you touch the glitchy box, you'll begin accelerating. But you won't move away from the box, even though you're gaining speed. You'll accelerate at 5.3G's, sitting still, all while unable to move an inch otherwise. Except to stop touching the box. But, by the time you realize what's going on, you're probably already going several times the speed of sound, so I hope you like your new life. Hitting the ground that quickly probably wouldn't end well."
How does the glitched golden chest interact with summons? I remember seeing a video that used a mod/tool to change which projectiles are fired by which weapons, showing that some summons (I think finch staff?) generate projectiles, and if the projectile-Id for them is changed, funny things happen. If a glitch was found that could generate projectiles including some form of ID switch (similar to how transmutation switches item-Ids), that might be able to generate lance-projectiles while in the glitched state.
closest thing we have right now would be with the fireworks i think, since the projectile they spawn can be changed to other fireworks, and probably other things too also if the projectiles gave you the buff for the summon, then that buff would disappear as well as the summons i'd assume
There is actually a glitch which allows for spawning projectiles (About 4/5ths of all of them in the game are spawnable), though as far as I know weapons aren't projectiles in that list. As for interactions with summons, all summons vanish the moment you mouse over the chest, though sentries still work as intended. It's weird what does and doesn't work while in the glitched state.
i have known for quite a while (i think since master mode) playing around with things like etherian turret stacking it is not hard to hit the projectile cap of 1000 i think it was pets, light pets, summons are all projectile ranged/magic weapons all counted as projectiles for the sprite in hand but melee weapons did not iirc having projectile cap filled or near filled does fun things to the pillar events (especially vortex) lots of things break when you hit either the npc spawn cap of 200 or projectile cap of 1000 also hitting the buff/debuff cap is somewhat annoying if that happens less fun that the projectile and npc caps
Bro, this game is 12 years old, and we're just beginning to break it apart. I absolutely love terraria, the community, and I love seeing terraria destroyed in such ingenious ways
I think in theory if you were to accelerate like that for roughly 211.3 days your character's speed would surpass the 32 bit integer limit of 2,147,483,647 and overflow to -2,147,483,648 mph and I wonder what having negative speed would look like
I almost want to try modding the game to achieve that sooner... Or, better yet, just a way to accelerate _even faster_. Since, if I find a way to get a jerk (An actual term, describing an acceleration of my an acceleration)... well, then speed would grow exponentially. Far-fetched, but you honestly never know.
well you see, it is a known fact that bees move quicker than the human eye, so fast to the point where they seem to just stand still. the devs wanted to show this and add this to stay true to the very real reality that i am talking about
There's another glitch where you can grapple to a platform and then blockswap it to a solid block, which prevents enemies from aiming at you with projectiles.
I have gotten in this state before. I was trying to create a custom biome in tMod, but i made a mistake in the texture assignment. So whenever the game tries to load the biome, the player will just freeze. My theory is that the unobtainable golden chest has an error on it when the game tries to load the item icon (Since the chest has no item assigned to it, the game can't load any texture, and tiles usually use the item icon to represent an interaction).
You begin to accelerate downwards, as if the water wasn't there. This was the initial line of inquiry that got me wondering what this glitch could be used for. Since, rather than needing large accelerators, you can gain massive speed while standing still.
7:05 just to clarify; you didn't really create a "parallel universe". instead, what you see is not what the server sees because it is not visible on your *client,* but it's in the server - which stores everything that actually exists. in multiplayer, each player has their own client, and each player's client interacts with the world via remotes - if one client breaks a block with a pickaxe, a remote fires from that client to the server to remove that block and drop it on the ground. so if you remove a tile from another player's client, that tile will not exist to them, but it will still exist to the server and all other clients. this is why this glitch does not work in singleplayer - because the player is a full member of the server. so essentially, the "parallel universe" you described is actually just the difference between your client and the server.
Interesting! That fits in with alot of what I've observed with two/three player de-syncs, while researching Transmutation. The concept of "parallel universes" has wound up being a fairly useful construct for explaining de-sync tech (And, frankly, for my own understanding of some of the more esoteric glitches.) Even if what's going on in actuality it has more to do with what actions clients send to the server, are sent to other clients, or are some mixture of the two. It'll be more apparent for the next glitch that I plan to show but one of the glitch techniques, MCGO (Multiplayer Campfire Glitch Offsetting) causes data from the server to become exclusively on the side of one client- which, could be framed in the contruct of "moving to that client's parallel universe". Again, it's not actually what's happening- Red did not add Terraria 2, the multiverse update- but I think it's a worthwhile analogy to carry through to future videos. Thanks again for the informative comment! I'm hoping to do a proper deep-dive into the technical aspects of server/client desync at some point in the future, once I get through the upload backlog a bit more.
Hey, so on console more specifically xbox the hosts side is directly connected to the server's side so ypu can still see the fully floating bask statue after doing the block swap on the trap door, if you want to finish the glitch you would need to create a way for the host to not interact with it since the host would just break the entire statue since they are the server side, so the only way to do it is with a partner as of now could you please search for a server side method
As far as I know, all of Transmutation relies on some sort of server-client desync to start with- sortov like the foundation for all of this. Though, I could see about getting a map export for Console verisons, to allow for playing with the glitches even if the setups can't be done alone / with only one device.
Hopping off the mount seems to instantly remove all of your velocity back to terminal falling speed (So either 51mph or 179mph, regardless of previous speed), but I'm still trying to find a work-around to this.
That glitch is so damn specific, I want to know what tf was the person who discovered this thinking/doing. Like, why Sandstone block? Why Bass statue? Why that specific shape setup?
That setup wasn't the first one made, but what I think most likely happened is some thought along the lines of 'if bast statue turning on and off is just shifting the block ids, then could you use a cut off bast statue and activate/deactivate it to change the block ids of where the rest of the bast statue would normally be?'. So they used t-edit or something to cheat it in, and saw that it worked. Then they found out a way to get it without cheating by making a desynced block setup(already known), and using it on bast statue in a way that gets a floating bast statue, and then using the pong glitch(the sandstone and sand block thing, previously set up with with two desert fossil and one sandstone) on the bottom left of it to get rid of everything but the head. Then they figured out that doors opening and closing could increment block ids without placing and breaking every time needed. And the torch was to see weather it was on or off without having to save and quit to make it visible. And the shape and where the switch is placed is like that for being easy and convenient.
For the first part, I have no idea how I discovered the Sandstone / sand glitch (aka the "Prong Glitch"). I had extra time during a multiplayer run and... somehow stumbled upon that glitch. (Actually, I have a slight theory, but it's still a miracle I found that shape.) For the second part, there was logic behind it. The Bast Statue is one of about 2-dozen objects in the game suceptible to the first glitch (Prong Glitch), but with some spritesheet analysis I noticed that its sprites are situated such that the "Off" state of the Bast Statue is stored to the right of the "On" state, toggled via wire. Therefore, by using the Prong Glitch to remove the bottom part of the Bast Statue, we could trick the game into moving non-Bast objects to the left and right on their own spritesheets. It was a Eureka moment I am still very proud of to this day.
*Correction:* After _exiting_ the glitched state (i.e., you stop mousing over the chest), the maximum speed you can (currently) maintain is 189,306 mph, not ~750,000mph. At this speed, you bonk into the bottom of the world in a single gametick, for lack of a better way of descrbing it.

With actuators, can you set a timer to remove the ground after the fact then let your character move at that speed?
You absolutely can! The best way to do this is with a one-time circuit using a dart trap, a teal pressure plate, and sand.
Past about 750,000mph, you traverse the entire height of a large world in one gametick (1/60th of a second). And it's possible to accelerate past that...
I honestly don't know what (if anything) might happen in such scenarios.
@@EthyrielY would it be possible to set up teleporters like with the water + floatie trick to send you to the top of the world, mostly to stall to use the jousting lance?

I love terraria bugs and glitches, from unpatchable (and patchable too, mostly on PC) duping glitches, to doing all these steps. Such specific and complex steps, but also completely random, lead to incredible things. Can't wait to try pc soon, shame there's never been stuff like this on console
Like the dupe glitch where u save something in a chest take it out and die and exit everything without saving to dupe?
if your worried about projectiles, what you can do is shoot 1000 flares into a box to reach the projectile cap and make it so that bosses cant spawn new ones
Does the lance count as a projectile? If so it would have to be 999 flares
That reminds me, I made a dart machine gun for a similar purpose, and also allows allows for time travel...
@@EthyrielY im sorry what?
@@EthyrielYexcuse me what did you do. And also does time travel mean like rolling back the map to the latest saved version of it or something else?

It's not even Transmutation-related, it's its own jank.

terraria: * creates a parallel universe with malicious intent *
mario 64 and mario world are this complicated too
I love how Terraria glitches are all
"So we have just created a parallel universe"
Ah, I see terraria is going the way of super mario 64 with alot of the recent tech, glitches, and tricks. This will be fun to see.
the lance speed can be achived in another way, with a floatie you can float on water but if your in water then put on the floatie you will accelerate to get to the top of the water, so if you build a atleast 4 block wide tunnel that goes up with water inside and put a platform on the back part and jump in you will achive inf speed so with lance you can insta kill mostly anything
if you augment this with an array of teleporters, you can reach a speed of 1 map height per frame. this was the method used by mappy to kill dungeon guardian in 1 tick, and even double back scale the dmg numbers in terraria (your hitting so hard it dealt 15k dmg more than the full 64bit integer cap x2)
woah this has been made actually so much easier to set this up, that's insane. is it this easy to set up the transmutation thing aswell?
It is! This is the new, one-instance method which I have been meaning to make a dedicated guide about for awhile. It's faster, more consistent, and basically better in every single way lol
edit: You could also use this same setup to obtain any item the other Transmutation setups could. In this instance we're just using it to set-up the chest glitch.
surely you cant bounce with it from pink slime block
... 🤔
@@EthyrielYhow about doing this at the edge of the world so your mouse stays put? 🤯
fun visual glitch that i don't think will be very useful: when you hover your mouse over the glitched chest while falling and shooting a gun, you can go onto a mount and the position of the gun sprite doesn't change
maybe use 2 actuated teleporters and a player above logic sensor to teleport without losing speed
Funny, me and a friend have that exact same glitch with a crystal chest, and it's existed before the transmutation glitch existed.
We don't even know how the glitch happened, but I think it might have been a result of a tedit bug, although I'm not certain.
I've tested it, and the speed glitch works.
I could probably send the world file if you contacted me, if you're interested that is, although I'm unsure about if the transfer would break the chest.
Edit: I've learned a bit more and it was just a coincidence that it's a crystal chest because it's the other one like it
I am big dumb
i've seen a similar contraption but it also used a door and you could get any item in the game so long as you can manipulate the item IDs into changing to desired ones.
Yes, even the Zenith
Indeed! That's Transmutation for you. I'm hoping to make more videos on it since my previous explanations are a bit out of date at this point, with the new tech that's been discovered.
5:35
Touching the chests that function this way on console (or at least, xbox) will crash the game rather than putting the player into that state.
The last time I’ve seen anything about insane speed in Terraria was in a mappygaming video where he reached 756k mph, now I wonder if he’ll find some insane way reach higher speeds with this glitch
I think that the top speed is limited by how long you can keep your cursor over the chest, but something else in the game might break first.
I reached about 5,400,000 mph by leaving it overnight, which is a bit under 1% the speed of light.
Dude this video freaking rocks. I've been playing this game for nearly a decade and it never ceases to amaze me, the weird and beautiful things there are to be found. I don't even know where I would begin in trying to achieve something like this in Terraria, but you big brained it so hard. Kudos =)
Thank you kindly! I've still got many more broken bugs to share, so stay tuned for those!

"So now what we've done is we've just created a parallel universe" is something I never thought I'd hear in a Terraria tutorial
It's interesting how the community figures out ways to exploit the finicky behaviors of the game.
it's honestly impressive how much un-tapped jank there is in such an old and popular game
Now you don't even NEED itube + lance
"Gotta go fast" wise words said by a guy who makes bees go faster then light.
This is one of the reasons why Terraria is one of my favorite games. Good video, keep it up.

Just an average Wednesday when you throw Transmutation into the equation.
3:16 It'd be 53 m/s^2 since its the rate of acceleration and not velocity. Which I recognize is incredibly pedantic but I had to point it out
Aargh, I'm annoyed at myself that I missed that, given that I do alot with kinematics and therefore work with metric units regularly lol
Thanks for pointing it out^^!
@@EthyrielY I didn't get my engineering degree for nothing!
Hey, Ethy. Video idea:
This isn't exactly a glitch suggestion, but it IS related to using bees to gain infinite speed. In Calamity, Auric ore can bounce players and NPC that aren't wearing Auric Tesla Armor. And after some testing, I discovered that the uncapped MPH on the bee mount, works for this property as well. Meaning, if one were to set up a box of Auric ore, and hop on the bee mount, (or if your using DragonLens, cursor teleporting into a mass of Auric,) it sends the player flying at Mach speed, and if they're trapped, it should *theoretically* allow for infinite speed generation. I've done some testing, and found some pretty interesting results. Go check it out for yourself!
*BEES MAKE HONEY*
Nuh uh
The cool thing about terraria is that you don’t NEED a glitch like this to beat the game, if you are having so much trouble you can literally go to another server and get whatever you want.
I was just thinking about it since I saw that and though “oh I gotta get back into playing to beat some hard bosses”
But nah.
Also I gotta get back into terraria. It’s so good.
I love Terraria for its nuanced progression- it's why I have so many hours in the game. I also just so happen to have a knack for breaking games.
Stuff like this is the consequence of that lol
"how do you do the glitch"
"to answer that, we need to talk about paralell universes"
Mappy gaming has a design that lets you reach more than a billion dps with the jousting lance
Mappy's video was an inspiration for this whole search for infinite speed, actually! (And for my glitch pursuits as a whole.)
I wanted to see if there was an easier / more compact way to achieve high DPS via lances, and this was the result!
I love the bee mount and am happy to see this buff
I love how in almost every game the glitches make perfect sense and follow average game logic
THEN THERES TERRARIA
"So you have a box, 'kay. If you take a cat statue, create a parallel universe, saw-off the bottom part of the statue, and place that above the box- you get a glitchy box.
Now, if you touch the glitchy box, you'll begin accelerating. But you won't move away from the box, even though you're gaining speed. You'll accelerate at 5.3G's, sitting still, all while unable to move an inch otherwise.
Except to stop touching the box.
But, by the time you realize what's going on, you're probably already going several times the speed of sound, so I hope you like your new life. Hitting the ground that quickly probably wouldn't end well."
so what happens if you are in the glitched state, whilst wearing a inner tube in water?
Infinite speed? This video is truly made in heaven…

How does the glitched golden chest interact with summons?
I remember seeing a video that used a mod/tool to change which projectiles are fired by which weapons, showing that some summons (I think finch staff?) generate projectiles, and if the projectile-Id for them is changed, funny things happen.
If a glitch was found that could generate projectiles including some form of ID switch (similar to how transmutation switches item-Ids), that might be able to generate lance-projectiles while in the glitched state.
maybe one day
closest thing we have right now would be with the fireworks i think, since the projectile they spawn can be changed to other fireworks, and probably other things too
also if the projectiles gave you the buff for the summon, then that buff would disappear as well as the summons i'd assume
There is actually a glitch which allows for spawning projectiles (About 4/5ths of all of them in the game are spawnable), though as far as I know weapons aren't projectiles in that list.
As for interactions with summons, all summons vanish the moment you mouse over the chest, though sentries still work as intended. It's weird what does and doesn't work while in the glitched state.
Most summons just disappear, but there are turret types that work.
i have known for quite a while (i think since master mode)
playing around with things like etherian turret stacking it is not hard to hit the projectile cap of 1000 i think it was
pets, light pets, summons are all projectile
ranged/magic weapons all counted as projectiles for the sprite in hand but melee weapons did not iirc
having projectile cap filled or near filled does fun things to the pillar events (especially vortex)
lots of things break when you hit either the npc spawn cap of 200 or projectile cap of 1000
also hitting the buff/debuff cap is somewhat annoying if that happens less fun that the projectile and npc caps
you know that it's about to get juicy when the vsauce music kicks in
Bro, this game is 12 years old, and we're just beginning to break it apart. I absolutely love terraria, the community, and I love seeing terraria destroyed in such ingenious ways
That's funny, I was just wondering how fast you can go in terraria 😂
the answer is *YES*
Mappy’s setup increases your speed much faster
yeah but this one doesn't make you blind and also doesn't cap out as far as we know.
speedrunner mario:FINALLY A WORTHY OPONENT! OUR BATTLE WILL BE LEGENDARY
I think in theory if you were to accelerate like that for roughly 211.3 days your character's speed would surpass the 32 bit integer limit of 2,147,483,647 and overflow to -2,147,483,648 mph and I wonder what having negative speed would look like
I almost want to try modding the game to achieve that sooner...
Or, better yet, just a way to accelerate _even faster_.
Since, if I find a way to get a jerk (An actual term, describing an acceleration of my an acceleration)... well, then speed would grow exponentially.
Far-fetched, but you honestly never know.
When your so many bees that the speed fabric will be faster than speed because the number is accelerated. A classic german fairytail, thanks.

the bast statue is the most op item in terraria
well you see, it is a known fact that bees move quicker than the human eye, so fast to the point where they seem to just stand still. the devs wanted to show this and add this to stay true to the very real reality that i am talking about
"Want to see me run around that mountain and back?"
"Want to see me do it again?"
Bees grow more powerful each day, eventually they will solo Moon Lor- wait they already did.
No, they didn't. They required the help of a human because they don't have apposable thumbs & consequently can't hold a lance.
I love the VSauce reference lmao
the bee mount? not quite what i expected when you said "It's bees." but close enough... even though it should have been "It's a bee."
"In effect what we've just done is we've created a parallel universe."
simplest terraria glitch
There's another glitch where you can grapple to a platform and then blockswap it to a solid block, which prevents enemies from aiming at you with projectiles.
One more way to kill the dungeon Guardian i guess
It's like it was made in heaven
I have gotten in this state before. I was trying to create a custom biome in tMod, but i made a mistake in the texture assignment. So whenever the game tries to load the biome, the player will just freeze. My theory is that the unobtainable golden chest has an error on it when the game tries to load the item icon (Since the chest has no item assigned to it, the game can't load any texture, and tiles usually use the item icon to represent an interaction).
dude I immediately subscribed and got hooked when the vsauce audio started, good stuff mannnn
I honestly don’t know what to comment because of how casually you seem to break this game.
who knew standing still is the key to destorying everything in your way
I'm very interested to discuss potential ideas that may improve the speeds/damage you can do, do you have a discord or something?
i guess terraria and super mario 64 share something in common now, parallel universes
It is the first time I've seen someone use the Honeyed Goggles mount ever
It's still hilarious to me that the _bee mount_, out of every single mount in the game, is the one that allows this glitch to work.
what if you mouse over it while wearing an innertub underwater?
You begin to accelerate downwards, as if the water wasn't there.
This was the initial line of inquiry that got me wondering what this glitch could be used for. Since, rather than needing large accelerators, you can gain massive speed while standing still.
can't wait to throw 1000 beachballs beforehand, go this and then cheese daytime EoL in the funniest way possible
ive already seen that golden chest before, i found it by using cheat sheet and i didnt even know that it was possible to get, damn
If you use the beach ball or the flare gun to reach the projectile cap, you could be invincible
I’m utterly disappointed infinite speed is used for everything except the only reason speed exists at all: moving
You can move, but only for one frame.
…with enough velocity, though (~200,000mph) , you can teleport across the map in said single frame.
You know its powerfull when within 35 seconds you reach terraria calamity dps and within 5s when buffed
7:05
just to clarify; you didn't really create a "parallel universe". instead, what you see is not what the server sees because it is not visible on your *client,* but it's in the server - which stores everything that actually exists. in multiplayer, each player has their own client, and each player's client interacts with the world via remotes - if one client breaks a block with a pickaxe, a remote fires from that client to the server to remove that block and drop it on the ground. so if you remove a tile from another player's client, that tile will not exist to them, but it will still exist to the server and all other clients. this is why this glitch does not work in singleplayer - because the player is a full member of the server. so essentially, the "parallel universe" you described is actually just the difference between your client and the server.
Interesting! That fits in with alot of what I've observed with two/three player de-syncs, while researching Transmutation.
The concept of "parallel universes" has wound up being a fairly useful construct for explaining de-sync tech (And, frankly, for my own understanding of some of the more esoteric glitches.)
Even if what's going on in actuality it has more to do with what actions clients send to the server, are sent to other clients, or are some mixture of the two. It'll be more apparent for the next glitch that I plan to show but one of the glitch techniques, MCGO (Multiplayer Campfire Glitch Offsetting) causes data from the server to become exclusively on the side of one client- which, could be framed in the contruct of "moving to that client's parallel universe". Again, it's not actually what's happening- Red did not add Terraria 2, the multiverse update- but I think it's a worthwhile analogy to carry through to future videos.
Thanks again for the informative comment! I'm hoping to do a proper deep-dive into the technical aspects of server/client desync at some point in the future, once I get through the upload backlog a bit more.
Hey, so on console more specifically xbox the hosts side is directly connected to the server's side so ypu can still see the fully floating bask statue after doing the block swap on the trap door, if you want to finish the glitch you would need to create a way for the host to not interact with it since the host would just break the entire statue since they are the server side, so the only way to do it is with a partner as of now could you please search for a server side method
As far as I know, all of Transmutation relies on some sort of server-client desync to start with- sortov like the foundation for all of this.
Though, I could see about getting a map export for Console verisons, to allow for playing with the glitches even if the setups can't be done alone / with only one device.
I remember screwing around with these chest back in 2020 with my friends
Leave it to Yri to figure out how to obliterate bosses by looking at chests...
my initial idea? have someone flip a switch to remove platforms below you to then fall into a portal that will launch you horizontally
Hopping off the mount seems to instantly remove all of your velocity back to terminal falling speed (So either 51mph or 179mph, regardless of previous speed), but I'm still trying to find a work-around to this.
"its a feature."
Imagine this glitch with the slime mount, it was made with the sole purpose of falling fast so you can damage enemies
That glitch is so damn specific, I want to know what tf was the person who discovered this thinking/doing.
Like, why Sandstone block? Why Bass statue? Why that specific shape setup?
Code analysis
That setup wasn't the first one made, but what I think most likely happened is some thought along the lines of 'if bast statue turning on and off is just shifting the block ids, then could you use a cut off bast statue and activate/deactivate it to change the block ids of where the rest of the bast statue would normally be?'. So they used t-edit or something to cheat it in, and saw that it worked. Then they found out a way to get it without cheating by making a desynced block setup(already known), and using it on bast statue in a way that gets a floating bast statue, and then using the pong glitch(the sandstone and sand block thing, previously set up with with two desert fossil and one sandstone) on the bottom left of it to get rid of everything but the head. Then they figured out that doors opening and closing could increment block ids without placing and breaking every time needed. And the torch was to see weather it was on or off without having to save and quit to make it visible. And the shape and where the switch is placed is like that for being easy and convenient.
For the first part, I have no idea how I discovered the Sandstone / sand glitch (aka the "Prong Glitch"). I had extra time during a multiplayer run and... somehow stumbled upon that glitch. (Actually, I have a slight theory, but it's still a miracle I found that shape.)
For the second part, there was logic behind it. The Bast Statue is one of about 2-dozen objects in the game suceptible to the first glitch (Prong Glitch), but with some spritesheet analysis I noticed that its sprites are situated such that the "Off" state of the Bast Statue is stored to the right of the "On" state, toggled via wire. Therefore, by using the Prong Glitch to remove the bottom part of the Bast Statue, we could trick the game into moving non-Bast objects to the left and right on their own spritesheets.
It was a Eureka moment I am still very proud of to this day.
Empress of Light is gonna feel awful foolish when players start casually surpassing the speed of light on her.
If you started accelerating when this video game out, you'd be approaching about 93% of the speed of light right about now.
