Minecraft is better than Terraria.

I accept. I will state opening arguments for my side.Let's begin with definitions.Minecraft: A 3D Sandbox crafting survival game, with no defined story or goals, and a very large world.Terraria: A 2D Sandbox game with no story or goals, and a large world.Let's agree that 1) both games are capable of modification, and 2) that both games have the possibility for equivalent enjoyable hours of gameplay, no matter the player.Now that these have been laid out, some contentions.1. Terraria is better because it's crafting system is better than Minecraft. When crafting in Terraria, recipes are provided to create items. All one needs are the resources to create them. But in Minecraft, recipes are not readily provided, in fact there is no guide that dictates where things must be placed on the crafting table. Instead players must spend hours of time crafting items as opposed to playing the actual game. In Terraria, crafting items takes far less time, which allows for far more gameplay that is about action to take place.2. Terraria has advanced weaponry built into its base game, but Minecraft does not.In the vanilla Terraria these weapons are craftable: swords, guns, bows, axes, drills, pickaxes, lightsabers, laser guns, and even more. In vanilla Minecraft, the only weapons that are craftable are swords, bows, and axes/pickaxes. The weapon selection is severely limited.3. Terraria has a far more useful cave system. Because the map is two dimensional, navigating caves in Terraria is like watching an ant colony in one of those glass exhibits. It is as far easer to visualize and conceptualize what caves will look like. It also makes cave exploration more fun because drops in caves become a large factor of cave exploration, so the height differences that real caves have, is far more prevalent than in Minecraft, where caves are largery just branching, rambling pathways with little understandable order for how a cave works.When one explores in caves in Terraria, it is easier for them to anticipate what they will experience and this is useful because it allows for resource gathering much faster. In Minecraft, the caves are so unpredictable that one can spend hours in a cave that has almost nothing of worth in it, and that wastes the players time.4. The resource system of Terraria is far more in depth.The amount of raw metals one can take in Terraria is far more than Minecraft. In Minecraft, only about 5 ores have use (coal, iron, gold, diamond, redstone). In Terraria, the number is about 20 ores that have useful value (Tin, Copper, Lead, Iron, Tungsten, Silver, Platinum, Gold, Crimtane, Demonite, Meteorite, Obsidian, Hellstone, Palladium, Cobalt, Orichalum, Mythril, Titanium, Adamantite, and Chlorophyte.)Also practically everything that is gathered in Terraria has pragmatic value to furthering ones ability to survive with some exceptions for aesthetic purposes. But in Minecraft a much larger number of blocks only hold aesthetic value, and little pragmatic value.5. Combat in Terraria is far more advanced.This is not because of weapons alone. There are many more mobs in Terraria than in Minecraft that are hostile in nature. I don't think I need to provide numbers on this disparity yet, but I might in a later round if necessary. However having played both games, the number of enemies in Terraria leads to a more enjoyable experience due to the numerous different scenarios for how to combat enemies.These are my opening contentions, and I hope for a great debate!
