I don't know how old you are, not that I care, but you are really, really oblivious to how things work in the real world. Things do not have to be better than each other. I'm sure countless other people have pointed this out, but
YOU CAN'T SAY THAT ONE GAME IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER.
Saying one game is better than another is like saying that watermelon tastes better than mango. It all has to do with preference of each specific person.
Let me provide an example:
Skyrim vs. Pokemon Pearl. First of all, they're made 5 years apart. Technology gets better as time goes on. Second, they're different play styles. One is a turn-based RPG and the other is a free-roam, dungeon I-dunno-the-term-for RPG. Third, people have opinions. I like Skyrim. Some of my friends don't, but they LOVE Pokemon. I love Pokemon, too, but I can't play it for too long without getting bored.
So, that's my rant about opinions and yeah. Bye.
tl;dr People have different opinions. You can say one thing is better than another.
Ok Then it's a draw LOL XD, also some things are better then old things. Example old computer has low memory and newer computers have BETTER memory then the old ones
Terraria isn't necessarily better, you've just picked out most of the things that it's better at. There are also other things which can't be quantitatively measured, like how well you can interact with other players, how creative you can get with the game, etc.
actually i tried to pick stuff for both sides, to be fair. both games are amazing. Minecraft is building and terraria is adventure
While I feel dirty and foul posting in such a pointless thread, I'll ad my 2 cents.
Development!
Minecraft; Still has a team developing, updating and working on it (for better or worse).
Terarria; So far it's shelved, has hardly any support. Lucky it does not really need it as it's a simple and stable game.
Ohh seeming though we are using pointless quantifiers, we should multiply the final score by how many dimensions (geometrical) the game has. Because we like arbitrary quantifiers, right?..
TBH both the games are good at what they aim to do. Terarria is a side-scrolling somewhat sandbox dungeon crawler can be fun to play for a few hours untill it feels like a grind.
Minecraft is leggo with small challenges thrown in but it really relies on the creativity of it's players, if you have no imagination and or ideas you get bored fast.
BONUS ROUND!
Sound;
Minecraft: Generic nothing special, only the rain sound is truly irritating but it matches real life I suppose.
Terraria: TINK!TINK!TINK!TINK!TINK!TINK!TINK!TINK!TINK!TINK!TINK!tink tin tink... (now deaf) ALSO HOW IT MIGHT BE IN REAL LIFE BUT TONNES MORE IRRITATING! WHAT DO YOU MEAN STOP POUTING? ohh you mean shouting!? which I'm doing becasue mining in Terraria is deafening... I wonder if there's a mod remedying that as it is now I turn all sound down to 10%...
actually the Redigit has come back to make a new update, also i don't find the sound for either games annoying, also your 2 cents is opioin <--- spelled wrong. I did facts XD
This is exactly the COD vs TF2 vs Halo vs Far Cry 3 vs etc etc
Just because these games have "guns" and are based on killing people, doesn't mean it's the same. COD is a basic, simple FPS game. Tf2 is a more cartoony, laid back funny game, Halo idk about, i haven't played it yet and Far cry 3 is a game about thinking and having quick reaction times.
All are different even though they are based on "guns" and "killing".

Do you not have to mine through stone or something? Try it with 100% sound... It is utterly deafening.
It's like insta tinnitus.
Seriously, mine through stone with 100% sound for 15 mins and tell me you cant still hear the tinktinktink even when you've stopped and have taken off your headphones.
It's not opinion, I bet if you made an ear specialist listen to the sound they'd say the same thing I have. I know mining is a noisy activity but damn my ears ring when in at the cavern level.

Yes ONE update for terraria and proubly a bug fix and that's proubly it... Both Games are completely equal to each other comparing them by how much stuff they have is stupid.
Listen,you can't say what's better minecraft or terraria on the MINECRAFT forums.Do it on another forums that's not game specific because there's a reason people are on here and that's because they like minecraft
Your system for judging wich game is better is horrible. Bigger usually isnt better.And of course terraria will have more on most things! I mean its 2d and 2d is MUCH easier to code then 3d. It's just overall a stupid topic.
I dont know whether this has been said before but if you take minecraft with mods and compare it to terraria you instantly see a big difference. As someone on this thread said, more isn't always better but in terms of biomes, a mod such as biomes o' plenty, surely that can only enhance your experience by providing a better variety. Even with out mods I still think MC is better though
Also, I am going to point out, if you were counting every combination of dyed leather armor in the armor sets comparison, Minecraft would have won like a landslide, so there is proof you were biased.

The problem with the truth, is that it never lies.
Terraria- Waaaay more bosses (1.2 update anyone?)
Minecraft- 2 bosses, but 3d
Terraria- More content probably because of it's 2d-ness
Minecraft- Has content but no much probably because of it's 3d-ness
See each game has it's up and downs there both equally awesome.

#BAUM4EXILE2014 :^) HELP CAPSLOCK KEY FELL OFF IT SWITCHES ON AND OFF, HELP PLS.
the amount of incorrent information is stagering. but anyway. the games really shouldnt be compired in the first place. the only simularity is "you mine"
its has a totally diffrent game play, ui, and crafting system. its not even in all blocks. just pixleated. it whitch is better seriously depends on what you want to play.
minecraft is focused on sandbox like play, a sort of "do what you want, we'll add somestuff for you to play around with" where as Terraria is focused more around progression in an RPG kind of way. there are always basic goals that you will have: get better armor, get better tools, prepaire to kill bosses, stop(or spread) the corrupted/crimsion/hollow. and build in your spare time or when you need too. later on in Terraria, you dont even NEED to mine anymore.
the games are just so diffrent. i find it hard why people compire them. its like trying to say Tacos are better then Pizza. ones mexican the other is italian, depends on what you're in the mood for.
Ok Then it's a draw LOL XD, also some things are better then old things. Example old computer has low memory and newer computers have BETTER memory then the old ones

Its the same with Terriaria and Minecraft
well the first step would be understanding game design concepts. Then seeing how they are applied in each.
But no, it's far better to oversimplify things to a quantitative comparison, isn't it?
saying Terraria is Better than Minecraft or vice versa is like saying a screwdriver is better than a Hammer. It depends what you want.
