  • rainbow road (rainbowStuff): Creates a world with rainbow-colored sand.
  • jagged rocks (digExtraHoles): Results in a surface with numerous pits and chasms.
  • planetoids (roundLandmasses): Generates an open world with round landmasses.
  • waterpark (extraLiquid): Significantly increases the amount of water in the world.
  • we don't even test for that (portalGunInChests): Places a Portal Gun in chests.

This seed presents an extreme challenge, with players spawning in the Underworld, increased traps, higher difficulty, and elevated enemy spawn rates on the surface. The Drunk World (05162020) seed, celebrating Terraria's 9th birthday, generates both evil biomes and all variants of two-variety ores. The Not The Bees (not the bees!/not the bees) seed creates a world dominated by bee-themed biomes, with abundant Hive and Honey Blocks. The For The Worthy (for the worthy) seed drastically increases game difficulty, boosting enemy damage, health, and coin drop rates, replacing bunnies with Explosive Bunnies, and making various changes to world generation and boss AI.
