This is how you get the copper shortsword in terraria
 
 A

Step 1: Startup

Launch the game
 
 

 
 
 

Step 2: Character Create

Press single player or multiplayer
 
Press create
 
You should see this
 
 

 
 
Customize as much as you like! but make sure its set on C L A S S I C
 
Character name does not matter btw!
 
 

 
 

 
 
 

Step 3: World Create

Now you gotta create the world, Click play with your character and click create, you should see this
 
 

 
 
Just tweak as you like (Not journey) and you can create!
 
 

 
 
 

Step 4: Troubleshooting

If you get an error you ignorant pest you didnt listen, now follow the steps!
 
If you get this then you didnt listen to me on step 2, make another character that is in CLASSIC not JOURNEY
 
 

 
 
If you got this you didnt listen to me on step 3, make another world that is in CLASSIC not JOURNEY
 
 

 
 
If you got the virgin iron shortsword instead of the chad copper shortsword then you’re blind and you need to make a character and world that is CLASSIC not JOURNEY
 
 

 
 
 

Step 5: The Shortsword

If all is correct you should have THE COPPER SHORTSWORD
 
Now be careful as it can be thrown away at any time, if you lose yours create a new character and maybe put it in a chest or refer to step 5.5 or step 5.6
 
 

 
 
 

Step 5.5: Crafting

If you lost your shortsword follow these steps,
 

1. Craft a workbench (10 wood)
2. Craft a wooden sword (7 wood [incase you need to fight])
3. Craft a furnace (20 stone, 4 wood, and 3 torches [get stone from mining with your pickaxe and torches from killing slimes and getting wood {torches will also help you see (if you get stuck mining save and load, kill yourself, or find and use a recall potion)}])
4. Craft 5 copper and iron/lead bars (3 ore per bar, 15 ore for 5 bars [get ores in the underground and craft bars with the furnace {you can also loot chests (you can also buy anvils from the merchant, more information at https://terraria.fandom.com/wiki/Merchant – [fandom.com]  }])
5. Use the anvil to craft your copper shortsword!

If you see tin follow step 5.5.5 immediately!
 
 

 
 
 

Step 5.5.5: Dealing With Tin

There are 2 ways to deal with this trash
 
1. Creating a new world
 
Just create a new world, hope for copper, you can even use the world seed 05162020 or 5162020 for both copper and tin
 
 

 
 
2. Fishing (Harder)
 
You need a fishing rod and a bait, (most likely worms) if you have the merchant you can get a bug net and catch some critters for bait or loot wooden chests for a can of worms, after that you can fish for wooden crates (or pearlwood) for a chance of copper
 
 

 
 
 

Step 5.6: Cheating

…why, why would you want to do this,
 
ok if you’re THAT desprate go into a “free items world” example below

and then play it…
 
…and open the cheat
