Terra Uncharted – Update 0.7.7 Devlog

Hey everyone,

Update 0.7.7 is here, and it’s one of the biggest updates Terra Uncharted has seen so far. From biome overhauls and underworld redesigns to new mechanics and performance boosts, this update brings the world closer to what we’ve always envisioned: alive, dynamic, and full of surprises. Let’s take a look at what’s new.

Biome Overhauls: A More Diverse, Challenging World

Jungle & Bamboo 

The jungle biome has received a complete overhaul. We’ve introduced all-new jungle trees with a wide variety of shapes and sizes, giving the environment a more natural, wild look. You’ll also find five brand-new jungle plant types, each adding more color and depth to the landscape. Combined with rugged terrain that’s difficult to traverse, the jungle now offers real exploration challenges.The bamboo has also been updated with denser, more organic growth patterns and improved terrain shaping.

Frozen Tundra

We’ve added trees and rolling hills to the tundra biome, making it feel less empty and more immersive. These trees are based on the plains biome but are taller and feature more variation, giving the tundra its own distinct visual identity.

Underworld: More Land, Deeper Lava

The underworld has seen major improvements:

Lava is now deeper but not as wide, meaning there’s more solid land to walk on, explore, and build with.

We also reworked how land generates in the underworld, giving it a more layered, natural layout that supports better exploration and structure placement.

And yes—lava now causes damage, so don’t fall in.

Weather & Time of Day

We’ve added a dynamic weather system and a full day/night cycle. These systems bring the world to life in new ways, affecting both visuals and atmosphere. Expect changes in visibility, lighting, and mood as the world responds to time and weather.
