Terraria NPC Happiness Biomes

Making your NPCs happy in Terraria allows you to buy cool items from them. To increase NPC happiness levels, you need to cater to their needs. The most important thing to note is that each NPC has a preferred biome. In this guide, we’ll take a look at all of the Terraria 1.4 NPC Happiness Biomes.

Different Biomes in Terraria 1.4

First, you should know there are a bunch of different biomes in Terraria. Here’s a complete list of Biomes:

• Forest
• Snow
• Desert
• Jungle
• Ocean
• Mushroom
• Underground

There are also Corruption, Crimson, and Hallow Biomes which are evil contagious biomes that spread to adjacent areas. These are seen in Hardmode, but the Evil Biome can be seen before that, and it spreads very slowly.
