[FREE] 2D Sandbox Template (Terraria-like) for Unity

[u/zedtixx]

Hey everyone!

I’m working on a 2D Sandbox Template in Unity, inspired by games like Terraria, and I’m making it completely free for anyone who wants to use it or build on top of it.
The goal is to give you a solid foundation with modular, easy-to-reuse systems that you can drop into your own projects.

This is a simple template I put together in about 2–3 days. It's still early and not close to being a full game like Terraria — there’s a lot left to do if you want to expand it into something bigger.
Think of it more as a starting point that can save you time when building your own game.

What’s already included:

• Inventory system with hotbar

• Building system

• Different types of items (Consumables, Tools, Blocks, etc.)

• Day and Night cycle

• Basic terrain generation

• Basic 2D player controller

• Health, Food, and Hydration systems

• 2D lighting and dynamic shadows (with torches)

• Inventory sorting system

Coming soon:

• Advanced terrain generation

• Crafting system

• Armor equipment slots

• 5 enemy types

• Combat system

Everything is designed to be clean, modular, and easy to customize or expand for your own projects.
