Do you know the differences between the famous "block" games?
This quiz was made as of Minecraft Java 1.20.1(survival mode, no cheats) and Terraria PC & Console 1.4.4.
Every question refers to the vanilla games(no mods). Anything in quotations mean that that is it’s exact name.
This is my first quiz - Be nice and let me know in the comments if there's anything you think should be changed in the quiz, like the wording of a question or an incorrect answer.
I'm open to suggestions; if you want to suggest a new question, comment and I'll consider adding it.

Great quiz, would argue the nether wastes should be called a "Hell/Underworld" biome though, making the answer for that one both, weapon modifier Vs enchantments seems a bit of a technicality and I don't know if you'd class minecraft villagers as NPCs. Great idea though, really enjoyed playing.
Also, I added in the caveat that anything in quotations would be its exact name, but I was worried about that because I don't think people read the caveats most of the time, so I changed the first question to have a mention of it.
I disagree with some of your definitions but overall interesting quiz!
I might be misremembering but I thought the Nether used to officially also be called Hell in the alpha.
I would also consider Minecraft villagers to be NPC's but it could be argued that they are not. The wiki doesn't call them NPC's. However, Minecraft does officially have NPC's in the bedrock edition. So maybe add a disclaimer in the description about which minecraft edition(s) the quiz is about.
Also, Minecraft does have random events that happen at the start of night, Zombie Sieges: https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Zombie_siege.
I would also say that the player can travel infinitely in Minecraft because even if the world no longer generates past 30m blocks, you can still move around past the border (to my knowledge).
Still enjoyed the quiz! Just wanted to give some feedback :)
As stated in the caveat, this is as of Java edition, 1.20.1, so the first 2 questions you mentioned (NPCs in bedrock edition and the nether being called hell in Alpha) remain correct. However, the zombie siege is indeed an event, but it is so little known and might not be considered by most people as an event that I may have to replace that question due to confusion. If you'd like to suggest a question to replace it with, feel free to. Additionally, your last statement is correct, but the player cannot travel infinitely without creative mode or cheats enabled, so I'll have to mention in the caveat that it is talking about the vanilla game with cheats off & in survival mode. Thanks for the feedback!
although you say things in "quotes" need to be the thing's exact name, Minecraft doesn't have a "travelling merchant", it's called the Wandering Trader
I think that being able to be killed even with max gear is both because in Terraria we have the dungeon guardian and in Minecraft you have various things like the void, arrow railgun or kinetic energy (from elytra)
In Terraria, there are quite a few ways you can die in 1 hit (Dungeon Guardian, some bosses during the daytime, fall damage etc).
In Minecraft, totems make every death (except for the void)take at least 2 hits for death. The void does 2 hearts every damage tick, meaning that it can't kill you in one hit.
Your comment made me realize that I should mention that you must be on full health, thanks for the feedback.

I didn't originally have it like that but I put it in the first question so people would look at the caveat, my bad. I'll fix that.
Thanks for telling me
