…as opposed to what, exactly? I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone compare the two

When Terraria came out, the first reaction some people had was "so, it's just a minecraft knock-off, but lame, because it's 2D?"

This endured about a millisecond until people noticed what Teraria was about.

That was before Minecraft's concepts were adapted in so many games.

Wasnt terraria fully released before minecraft?

Edit: the full release, not alpha or beta

Minecraft released its' alpha in 2009. Terraria came out in 2011.

Spinks has credited Minecraft as direct inspiration. Terraria was first released among the gobs and gobs of minecraft clones, yet it was obvious that Terraria wasn't a clone.

As for "Full Release", Terraria was first released as a fully working game, with it's 1.0 being the first public release in May 2011. Minecraft 1.0.0 was November 2011. Minecraft's first public release was Classic 0.0.11a in May 2009.
