Terraria is famous for being an adventure survival game with building elements attached. It has often been compared to Minecraft, to which the developers of both games have made easter eggs about the other. Fighting all day is great and all, but sometimes you just want to stretch your legs and relax in your world. Building a house is a completely different matter, that's why it's best to use all the accessories you can get. Here are our Top 9 Terraria Best Building Accessories and how to get them!

9. Ancient Chisel

It may or may not have been used in opening sarcophagi

The Ancient Chisel might probably be the earliest building accessory you can get access to. It's commonly found inside Sandstone chests in the Underground Desert biome. If you're feeling lucky, you can also get it through Desert Crates through fishing.

Item details:

• Increases mining speed by 25%
• 'Ancient problems require ancient solutions'

What makes it great:

• It's like having a permanent Mining Potion buff
• Both the potion and chisel effects stack

8. Toolbelt

No, it's not a fanny pack!

Item details:

• Increases block placement range by 1

What makes it great:

• It's the simplest way to make building more efficient

7. Toolbox

Not to be confused with the Toolbelt

The next upgrade to your construction adventure would be the Toolbox, which is obtained during the Christmas event in Terraria, or by setting your PC date to December. It's a direct step up to the Toolbelt in that it also increases tool reach

Item details:

• Increases block placement and tool range by 1

What makes it great:

• That single block increase in tool range might seem small, but trust us when we say it helps

6. Extendo Grip

The big daddy of range extenders

5. Portable Cement Mixer

How does this fit in my pocket?!

This is another piece of equipment you can get from the Traveling Merchant, but it's way different than the previous items on our list. This accessory allows you to place down walls 50% faster, making building houses for NPCs a breeze.

Item details:

• Increases wall placement speed by 50%

What makes it great:

• Although wall placement is already fast, it's particularly annoying to fill in multiple rooms.
• Faster is better in building NPC housing

4. Presserator

Pressing is not one of its features

The Presserator is a unique building accessory in that it places down Actuators automatically when you place objects. Although many casual players might see no use for it, it's widely known in the building community. Actuating blocks move them into the background, allowing you to create depth and style when it comes to building your home.

Item details:

• Automatically places Actuators on placed objects

What makes it great:

• It's loved by the Terraria building community
• Create depth with your work of art with ease

3. Paint Sprayer

Painting has never been easier

You might be asking, why do we need this if we already have the Paint Roller and the Paintbrush? The answer is that they only paint walls and blocks. The Paint Sprayer is unique that it allows you to paint objects that you place down. This can include furniture, statues, traps, and others. It's a highly-valuable tool for building a unique home in your world.

Item details:

• Automatically applies paint to placed objects

• It's the only way to paint your furniture

1. Architect Gizmo Pack

You're very own building mega accessory

The Architect Gizmo Pack is a combination of the Brick Layer, Extendo Grip, Paint Sprayer, and Portable Cement Mixer. It's a great way to save up for accessory slots so you can still wear wings and/or climbing gear to help your mobility.
