Terraria challenge runs

[Jake55778]

So I'm home for the holidays and deprived of my usual PC. One of the few games that will run on my 2006 laptop is Terraria. After some 300 or so hours logged however the vanilla game has lost some of it's original charm. So I've started thinking up some challenges to give the game some added spice. I encourage people to add their own challenges and/or play along.
I have a copy of Bastion sitting spare on my steam gifts that I'll offer up as a rewards for whoever can complete the most impressive challenge/combination of challenges.

Jake, seeing as how you're bored of vanilla, I'd like to suggest the modpack/ map called Story of Red Cloud. It has the dark souls mechanic to make dying stressful, and it's a really well done map.
