How to quick move items in terraria xbox one

These are gameplay hotkeys and can be re-bound by going to Settings → Controls. The keys listed here are the defaults.

  • Throw (Q) — Throws your currently active item away. Note that this will throw the entire stack (unless holding Torches, as they provide light even as a tossed item).

  • Quick Heal (H) — Consumes the first healing item in your inventory.

  • Quick Mana (M) — Consumes the first mana restoring item in your inventory.

  • Quick Buff (B) — Uses items that cause buffs or debuffs, unless their associated buff is already active. You can have a maximum of 10 (de)buffs, and this hotkey will stop when that number is reached.

  • Grapple (E) — Uses your Grappling Hook, if you have one equipped.

  • Mount (R) — Summons your Mount, if you have one equipped.

  • Auto Select (Left Shift) — This is a very context sensitive action that basically does 3 things.

    1. Tool selection: If you mouse over a tile or an object, you'll automatically select the appropriate tool, even if it's not in your hotbar. For example, hovering over a Stone Block and holding Shift will cause you to select a Pickaxe or Drill.

    2. Trashing/selling: Clicking on items in your inventory while holding this will transfer them to the trash slot. If an NPC's shop window is open, you'll automatically sell that item to the NPC instead (even if it has no value).

    3. Lighting: If you mouse over nothing, holding Auto Select will make you hold a light source, if you have one. Close up, this will be a Torch or a Sticky Glowstick, but if you move your cursor farther away, it'll be a normal Glowstick. Underwater, it'll always be a type of Glowstick. Make use of this extensively.

  • Auto Target (Left Ctrl) — Toggles Auto-Targeting mode for tools. Tools will automatically target the closest block in the direction given by the cursor.

  • Favourite Item (Alt+Left Click) — As of version 1.3, items can be favourited. Favourited items cannot be quick-trashed, quick-stacked or deposited.

The following are mostly undocumented and hardcoded (i.e., can't be changed):

  • Fullscreen (Alt+Enter) — Enters and leaves fullscreen mode without having to leave the current world.

  • Switch lighting (F9) — Toggles lighting mode between Color, White, Retro, and Trippy (can also be done from the video settings).

  • Show FPS (F10) — Displays frames per second in the lower left corner; the number in brackets is liquid debug data of some description.

  • Hide UI (F11) — Toggles all user interface elements, including the cursor. This is useful for taking clean screenshots.

And, last but not least:

  • Screenshot (F12) — Takes a (JPEG) screenshot. This isn't technically a Terraria hotkey, but courtesy of the Steam overlay. Can also be re-bound to another key in your Steam settings.

Current as of Terraria 1.3

Chests can quickly become disorganized in Minecraft. This is especially true in the early going as many players make one or two chests and drop everything they have into them until they have more permanent storage. This can make it difficult to find items as they get lost in the shuffle of a full double chest.

One thing that can alleviate that issue is organizing chests. Many set up entire storage rooms with chests designated for food, weapons, tools, blocks and other items. This helps them keep track of where things are and where they need to go.

Getting to that point, especially from a disorganized beginning, can be a big challenge. Moving the items around can be tedious and take a long time. Items can be moved a little bit quicker, though. Here's how to do it.

Moving items around quickly in Minecraft chests

One way to get all of the items out of a chest and into a player's inventory is to break the chest. This will only work if players have an empty inventory and nothing in their hands. It will also only work if it's a single chest because a double chest has too many items for one player.

It can be done with a double chest, it will just require Minecraft gamers to briefly leave half of the items floating on the ground or in the leftover chest since it needs to be broken twice.

Havnt slept yet. Got super addicted to Minecraft and i've been playing all night and day. Decided to fix my house so i destroyed my chests to move them then started fixing the house before i put my items back in the chest and they all disappeared. Never playing MC again. gn

Havnt slept yet. Got super addicted to Minecraft and i've been playing all night and day. Decided to fix my house so i destroyed my chests to move them then started fixing the house before i put my items back in the chest and they all disappeared. Never playing MC again. gn

Alternatively, there are ways to move items quickly without breaking the chest. If players have multiple items, they can move them all simultaneously. Click and hold the shift key (on a PC) and then left-click on one item in the inventory.

Next, drag and hover it on another similar item in the inventory, and click on it. All the items will be moved to the chest at the moment. There is yet another method, as one Minecraft Redditor pointed out.

  1. Left click an item.
  2. Hold down the left shift key.
  3. Move the mouse to the other stack of the same item.
  4. Double left click.

Finally, there is one more way to move things quickly in a chest. This method is very useful when finding loot chests, especially in desert temples.

To quickly select all of the same items in a chest, double click on one of them. For Xbox users, this will involve double tapping the A button. This brings all the items from the chest into one stack.

Different chests (Image via Mojang)

After that, whatever button is used to quickly move an item from a Minecraft chest to inventory or back will work. This can be done very quickly and will facilitate shifting the bulk of that item somewhere else.

iOS, Android, and Amazon versions[]

As of Mobile 1.3, the user interface has been updated to more closely reflect that of the desktop version. However, as mobile users typically will be dealing with touch controls and/or smaller screens, there are a few small differences between the two to make gameplay flow smoothly.

The inventory is primarily split up into 5 sections: The Inventory and Housing Menu on the left, and Chat, Equipment Menu, and Crafting on the right. Like many other UI elements, they can be moved around and altered in the settings.

Inventory[]

Akin to the desktop version, The inventory consists of 50 slots. The player can set whether the 10 left most slots or the top row serves as the hotbar.

Some inventory functions have been moved to below the inventory for easy access. These include the tools, research, and a split function. The tools button opens a small window consisting of the various toggles, such as those given by the Paint Sprayer and the Torch God's Favor. Researching is also accessible here, separately from the Journey Mode tools accessible in the pause menu. The split button opens a small slider which splits a stack in two based on its position.

[]

It is identical to the housing menu on desktop, save for an aesthetic change where each NPC fills in a placeholder slot as they move in.

Chat[]

The player can type messages and view status messages in the Chat menu. This window also has a button which allows access to Emotes. It functions identically to the chat on the

How to quick move items in terraria xbox one
 PC version.

Equipment[]

Consists of all the equipment the player has equipped. Visibility can be toggled by tapping the show/hide button, but not by double tapping the accessory as seen in the  Nintendo Switch version.

Crafting[]

Consists of a list of craftable items with a Craft button below. The materials needed will be listed next to the button. The player can access all duplicated items here by pressing the duplication button in Journey mode. There are filters for Weapons, Blocks, Accessories, Materials, All (which disables the active filter), Armor, Misc, and Consumables, accessible even outside of Journey mode.

Windows Phone version[]

Inventory / Storage Tab[]

  • Tap and drag an item to move it, or switch its position with another.
  • Drag the inventory screen up or down to see more of the inventory.
  • Selecting an item and tapping the "Split Stack" button (the button with stacked coins) will take one item and place it in a new stack. If a new stack has been recently created, the item will be added to that one instead.
  • Selecting armor or an accessory and tapping the Equip button (labeled with a helmet and a player's head) will automatically equip it in an armor or accessory slot. If the respective armor slot is full, it will be equipped in the vanity slot. Dragging an item to the Equipment tab and releasing will equip it in the same manner.
  • Selecting an item the Storage tab Tapping the Take button will add it to your inventory. Dragging an item to the Inventory tab and releasing will take it in the same manner.
  • Holding an item over a tab for a while will switch to that tab.
  • Additionally, if you're on the main screen and want to throw an item, you can do so by selecting it in your hotbar and then holding it. You can then drag to throw. It can be useful if you want to throw a Guide Voodoo Doll and summon the WoF.

Equipment Tab[]

  • Any equipable item will automatically be equipped when crafted, bought, picked up, or when the Take button is pressed in the Storage tab.
  • Selecting an item and tapping the Unequip button (labeled with a helmet and a player's head) will unequip it and place it in the Inventory.

Crafting Tab[]

  • Tap a recipe and tap Craft to craft one of the item.
  • Tap and hold Craft to craft multiple items (the speed increases as the player holds the button).

NPC Shop Tab[]

  • Selecting an item and tapping Buy will buy the item if you have enough money.
  • Hitting Sell in the Inventory tab, or simply dragging an item to the Shop tab will sell it.
  • The Goblin Tinkerer has an additional region above the shop where items can be reforged. Dragging an item here and selecting Reforge will reforge it.

How to quick move items in terraria xbox one

How to quick move items in terraria xbox one

The World Map.

How to quick move items in terraria xbox one

Building Mode.

The touch screen features the players hotbar, housing menu, map, and other utilities. This is referred to by the game as the "Quick Inventory". The quick inventory shows the first ten slots in the players inventory, similarly to the mobile version of the game. The top left button under the hotbar allows the player to Quick Stack to Nearby Chests, which will be greyed out if the player is not near any chest. The middle button allows the player to drop an item they've tapped and held onto, greyed out if there is no item to drop. The top right button is the housing menu, which will be greyed out unless the player is in a house.

The bottom three buttons are the World Map, Building/Precision Mode, and the player's Inventory from left to right.

  • The World Map appears on the touch screen so the player can view the map as they move, and also has a magnifying glass in the corner which toggles a zoomed-in and out view.
  • Building Mode provides a zoomed in view of the player's screen and sorts tools on the left, and building materials on the right.
    • Building materials are sorted in the order they appear in the players inventory, but tools are sorted in accordance with the order Weapon → Pickaxe → Axe → Hammer → Wrenches/Wire Cutters → Fishing Tools, top to bottom.
    • Items on the left can be swapped by holding L for tools and R for building materials and a direction. Up / Down on the D-Pad or Circle Pad will change the item selected. Left and Right only work on the left row, when there are variants of a tool, such as a Terra Blade being able to switch to a Paladin's Hammer, as they are both categorized as weapons.
    • On the New Nintendo 3DS, Building Mode can also be toggled with ZL.
    • The D-Pad can be used along with Building Mode for increased precision when placing blocks.

 Mobile version. Items appear on the bottom screen, while an item's statistics will appear on the top. The top ten slots of the inventory will be brightened, indicating items in these slots will appear in the Quick Inventory. Items can be thrown away with

, and stacks of items can be split with

. Below both the trash and split icon is a drop icon. Armor can be equipped with
How to quick move items in terraria xbox one
when selected, but even if that armor is a vanity item, it will be equipped in the armor slots and be swapped with any item currently filling the slot. Also similar to the
How to quick move items in terraria xbox one
 Mobile version, items can be dragged between slots opposed to just using button inputs. However, button inputs are still required when equipping or depositing items, as there is no way to drag items between tabs. On the top of the inventory screen are four/five buttons. The first, being a back arrow, causes the player to exit the inventory. The rest toggle the crafting menu, the inventory, the chest's inventory (if applicable), and the player's armor/accessory screen.

will loot all of the items from the chest. Items cannot be split or trashed from the chest directly. When the player's inventory is accessed when a chest is available, a quick stack button appears at the bottom left corner of the screen. A deposit button will also appear if an item is selected, but does not share the button shortcut of X with the take button. Thus, the player should be careful they don't trash an item they wish to put back into a chest.
