Want to know how to make stairs in Terraria? Imagine that you’ve built, designed, and added items to your house as you see fit. Now you will need stairs to get up and down quickly between floors in your home, but there’s no other method to connect floors other than stairs. Without them, your base will lack height. This guide will break down how to make stairs, spiral stairs, and more in Terraria.
Making Stairs in Terraria
When you build a base, it needs to consist of several floors to provide enough space. You can lower your base underground, but you’ll need to make stairs to get up again. You only need two items to build these stairs: A Wooden Hammer and Platforms. Wooden Hammer is something most Terraria players have in their inventory. We explain how to craft these items down below.
Once you’re all set, choose where you want to make stairs and follow these steps:
- First, diagonally place the platforms, one after the other.
- The platforms will create a structure that you can jump up and out. But these do not serve as stairs.
- To turn platforms into stairs, hit them once with your Wooden Hammer. In this way, platforms will connect and become stairs.
That’s all you need to do to build stairs in Terraria. If your stairs don’t look symmetrical or you want to relocate them, you can use the Pickaxe to destroy them.
How to Make Spiral Stairs in Terraria
If you want to customize your stairs and give them a more stylish look, you should try spiral stairs in Terraria. Even if it’s a little more troublesome and complicated than regular stairs, it’s definitely worth the result. For amazing staircases that spiral up inside your home, follow these steps:
- First, you need to construct wooden beams to form the basis of your stairs. You can craft them at a sawmill. One piece of wood will give you two wooden beams. The higher you want your stairs to go, the more of them you have to make.
- Place the wood beams on top of each other as a strip, wherever you want.
- Next, line up the platforms to form a step. You can make a long step by lining up the platforms side by side. You can create a spiral shape by placing one less platform at a time.
- Place 3 platforms on the left side of your ladder, then 3 on the right, or as many platforms as you want. Continue this way as high as you want. The important point is to form a smaller platform after each one.
- Finally, you can create a great look by placing a wall behind your staircase.
How to Craft a Wooden Hammer in Terraria

However, if you haven’t crafted this item yet, you can do it in seconds using the workbench. You only need eight pieces of wood to craft a Wooden Hammer in Terraria.
