The Crash Bugs of Build 993

No vintage article is complete without acknowledging the jank. Build 1449 / 993 is famous for two specific crashes: terraria 1449 build 993

1. The Multiplayer Desync (The "1449 Kick"): When a player used the Rod of Discord to teleport into a sloped block, the server would hard-crash with a System.IndexOutOfRangeException. Servers running this build required a custom "Anti-Crash" plugin.
2. The Water Bolt Chest Bug: If a world generated with a Water Bolt book in the surface dungeon entrance (above depth level 0), opening that chest with a full inventory would consume the book without giving it to you. You had to relog.

Updated over one hundred older sprites to modernize assets and corrected inconsistent pixel scaling on roughly 90 swords and tools. Shimmer Mechanics: Recorded Music Boxes thrown into now transmute back into blank Music Boxes. Version Parity Notes This write-up covers Terraria Version 1
