minecraft is 3D, Terraria is 2D. In Terraria, some tools don't wear out at all while in Minecraft, all tools wear out. There are also different monsters.


Crafting:

Initially easier in Terraria, relying on having the right items in inventory as opposed to placing items in the right spot in crafting tables. However, as the player acquires more items, it is harder to find the appropriate items in large scrolling menus.


There are more items in Terraria at this time.


Story:

Terraria has a little bit more of a rpg style quest.


Building:

Though arguable, building is superior in Minecraft, and more satisfying.


Fighting:

Terraria relies more on the type of weapon for different 2d positional attacks, while MineCraft relies on 3d-positioning of the player and monsters. MineCraft's 3d immersiveness makes it more scary.


Lighting:

Minecraft has more realistic lighting, while Terraria's magical lights shine into walls.


Graphics:

Terraria is more pixelated, while Minecraft is more blocky. Both games have additional texture packs which can be customized and added into the game. With Terraria's texture packs, the graphics still remain overall pixellated, with Final Fantasy like sprites. In Minecraft, the texture's are large enough to create an illusion of different styles, though most things remain blocky.
