Builds - TerraMonolith's 1.4 Journey builds (vanilla Terraria, no mods) (2024)

Build #1 - Jungle grove with "world-tree" (upload 13.09.2020) - artificial jungle biome with two-way teleport system for moving up and down the tree.

Build #2 - Trade post (upload 13.09.2020) - two story house with living quarters above the first-floor shop and stacked wares with horse carriage (no horses) in the grotto/ravine.

Build #3 - Ocean Pylon with pirate ship, small fisherman's hut for the Angler (he needs that attitude fixed a.s.a.p.) and pirate-cove inspired house for the Pirate (upload 13.09.2020).

Build #4 - Surface mushroom biome with the corresponding pylon and houses for the Guide and Truffle (upload 22.09.2020).

Build #5 - Desert biome with pylon and houses for the Stylist and Dye Trader (on one side of the Pyramid), and Nurse and Arms Dealer (on the other side) (upload 04.10.2020).

World Tree with improved teleportation system (the hole in the base of the trunk is a walk-in teleport - beams you up between the Painter's and the Dryad's houses; the white gate teleports you down to the base of the stairs on the forest floor), added Living Trees on both sides. Connected to the Lake Grotto beneath (you can see the root system in both builds). UP&DA version and close-ups of the grove and tree-crown can be found in the thumbnails below:

Underbeach (artificial second beach under the regular one, based on the principle of ocean cave generation, but on a smaller scale) - UP&DA version in the thumbnail below:

Lighthouse on a cliff (west coast of the Ocean), the Pirate Ship and a Buoy. The light effect is inconsistent and unreliable, it is achieved with fog machines, which are visible at least 50% of the time and ruin the intended view. They also work only when a player is nearby.

Dayview of the build (it is still very bright):
