"Terraria: Journey's End", the fourth and final major update of Terraria, is currently under development. While originally announced to be released in 2019,[discord 1] it is now currently planned to be released on Terraria's 9th birthday, May 16, 2020.[forums 1] Until June 10, 2019, it was announced to be released as 1.3.6.
It will include a re-visit of all elements of Terraria. Things that may have felt outdated or obsolete due to the introduction of newer content will be renewed and new elements will be included in order to "flesh out the overall experience", including over 1000 new items.[forums 2][forums 3]
On the official Terraria Discord server, Cenx mentioned that 1.4 will have "a form of creative mode". This mode "won't just give you everything. It will all need to be earned", unlike traditional creative modes in other games.[discord 2] This was later confirmed to be Journey mode.
On May 14, 2020 the changelog for 1.4 was posted to the Terraria forums.

Gameplay

- Only works when a Journey mode character is used with a Journey mode world.
- The player starts with an Iron Shortsword, Iron Pickaxe, Iron Axe, Iron Hammer, Finch Staff, 100 Torches, 100 Rope, a Magic Mirror and Fledgling Wings.
- Players will have access to infinite numbers of any items that they "research", (called "duplication" by the game) and each item has a specified amount that must be researched before duplicated. Items such as torches and rope require a stack of 100 to be duplicated, while tools and weapons often require 1.
- The Power Menu holds a list of options unique to Journey mode that allow players to customize how they play, duplicate and research items, change time and weather, and more.
- The Duplication Menu is where all researched items can be duplicated to the player's desire. Items here are separated into seven categories, appearing to be Weapons, Armor, Blocks, Furniture, Accessories, Consumables, and Other. The menu also allows players to search for items as well.
- The Research Menu is where items can be researched so they can be duplicated. The menu will list how many items the player needs to research the item, and once acquired, the player can press "Research" to add the item to the Duplication Menu.
- The Time Menu is where players can edit how time flows. The options from top to bottom appear to be: Freeze Time, Change Time to Morning, Change Time to Noon, Change Time to Dusk, Change Time to Night, and a time speed option, which ranges from x1 to x20.

The first "Wind Control Slider" controls Wind direction, from East to West. The third "Rain Control Slider" controls the intensity of the rain from Clear Sky to Monsoon. The second option shows a gust of wind, and the fourth option shows a rain cloud, but it is currently unknown what either of these options do.
- The Godmode option enables and disables Godmode. Godmode will render the player invulnerable to any damage so long as the option is active.
- The Increased/Normal Placement Range option allows the player to place blocks farther than normal on the screen. It is unknown if this allows unlimited placing range.
- The Infection Spread option allows players to enable and disable biome spreading.
- The Enemy Difficulty Slider option allows players to change the difficulty of the game from the 0.5x difficulty of Journey Mode to the x3.0 difficulty of Master Mode.
- The final option allows players to increase the maximum amount of enemies on screen, ranging from "Disabled" to x10.
- Master mode, a setting which increases the difficulty of the game even further than Expert mode.[forums 2] It multiplies the difficulty of enemies by 3 and features two exclusive drops per boss, which are neither weapons nor accessories.[discord 29][discord 30] Master Mode will also add one extra accessory slot to the character.[tweets 19]

- The Bestiary, an in-game, filter-able encyclopedia that shows information about NPCs.[forums 22]

- The rarity of the NPC is displayed with a 0-5 star system.
- More information about each NPC is revealed once more are killed (or, if a Town NPC, talked to). Before encountering it, no info is shown and its respective entry is replaced by a question mark icon.
- The Bestiary can be sorted by Bestiary ID, Name, Attack, Defense, Coins, HP and Rarity, and multiple filters can be used at once.

- New elements in the inventory:[youtube 1]
- An achievement suggestion feature above the coins and ammo slots.

- A new mechanic called "Block Swap". Similar to the "Quick Wall Swap" feature, this feature grants the ability to replace blocks based on the highest pickaxe power of a pickaxe in the player's inventory without requiring to mine them first. This also includes furniture like chests, which do not need to be emptied prior to being replaced.[tweets 22][forums 29]
