Glitches

Regular Glitches

Feet Movement Glitch

Note: It's more noticeable if the player remove their shoes. It's suggested in another person's world or a cleared world to avoid unnecessary grief.

First, run in any direction. While doing that, punch anything. If the player can see very well, the feet are stuck in their position and are not moving up and down like they're supposed to.

Texture Glitch

First, break something then stop at some point without breaking it. Now, quit the world and join back. The player will see the texture of the block as if it wasn't broken. Once you start breaking the same block, the hit damage will retain and will be broken depending on the damage the block.

E-Z Cook Oven Glitch

Note: This glitch is suggested with other people, as you could probably wreck the E-Z Cook Oven.

First, place an E-Z Cook Oven, then place an Art Wall behind it. The E-Z Cook Oven can now be open and closed by other users that don't have access. Also, when other players use it, they will say, "SCIENCE!", "Those items don't seem to combine!" or "It won't mix more than three items at once" when you OPEN the oven and not when you close it like it should. It works with some other items too, like Evil Eye, Barbecue Grill etc...

Run Glitch

Note: If you want to stop running, press the right or left arrow depending on the direction you're facing.

Hold the Left or Right key, then attend to another window. You will now run endlessly into the direction that you originally went, even when you respawn. On mobile, you can try pulling up your inventory tab while running.

Non-Combining Items

If a block is broken and a seed/block falls out, and the same type of item that fell out is dropped on the same space, the items won't combine and will just float on each other. This can also work with Comet Dust, Winter Gifts, Skyrockets, etc.

Cheer emote + Basketball + Couch/Chair

When using a Basketball, sitting on a Couch/Chair and typing /cheer, the emote won't work and will freeze at some point. The image on the right shows how you'll look like performing the glitch.

Das red balloon + Mud Glob

When you use Mud Glob and Das Red Balloon together, you will have the ability to glide/fly for a short amount of time.

Starchild makeup + Ninja mask + Troll emote

When using Starchild Makeup, Ninja Mask and typing /troll, it will make the left eye look like it has something in its eye.

Tutorial_XXXXX Glitch

You can't enter a "TUTORIAL_..." world normally. If you try to enter one, you will just enter the world "TUTORIAL". But if someone messages you from a tutorial_ ... world, you can do /rgo and enter the world. You can do /rgo infinite times, so the world renews.

Rift Cape Time Dilation Glitch

When the player sets the time dilation of the Rift Cape to 0 while it's on, the transition animation will stop and will remain until changed to a number higher than 0.

Player seen with the bug.

Platform-Exclusive Glitches

Flying Glitch (Mobile and PC)

Note: You can't see yourself flying, only others can see.

Try to fall down and while doing so, press the home button to suspend the app. Other people can see you still in the air! Doing this for awhile and going back to the app will just let you fall. But if you go back to the still running app after a long while, you will be disconnected and other people will see you as if you left.

To be done on PC, the player must be running a windowed version of the game and hold one of the icons in the top-left of the screen.

Non-stop Rain Audio Glitch (MacOS)

When you leave a world, if there is a https://growtopiawiki.nbg1.your-objectstorage.com/uploads/8/8f/ItemSprites.png Weather Machine - Rainy City in that world, its sound does not stop even in other worlds. (endless loop)

Door Invincibility Glitch

Note: A glitched player can die to a swarm of bees from a Beehive.

This glitch requires 2 players. First, place a checkpoint above a door and punch the door thrice with a pickaxe. When 1 player respawns and spawns above the door, at the exact time the respawned player enters the door, the second player has to punch the door 1 more time to break it. If done correctly, the respawned player will be stuck trying to enter the missing door and be immune to anything except beehives. 

The setup for the glitch.

Patched Glitches

Locked growmojis (Patched)

If a player types /me and repeat the emoji you want 2 times, you can use locked emojis. eg: /me (gems)(gems) Another way is to type (*emoji*) and a “:)” anywhere in between the brackets, but this way won’t show up in chat. eg: (:)gems), (wl:)), or even (w:)l)

Non-stop Music Glitch (Mobile) (Patched)

When you leave a world, if there is a https://growtopiawiki.nbg1.your-objectstorage.com/uploads/8/8f/ItemSprites.png Weather Machine - Digital Rain or https://growtopiawiki.nbg1.your-objectstorage.com/uploads/8/8f/ItemSprites.png Weather Machine - St. Paddy's Day in that world, its sound does not stop even in other worlds but music stops after 20 seconds

SFX & Music Settings (MacOS) (Patched)

In macOS it was necessary to set the SFX value to 0 to turn off the music (.ogg ones)

Message Glitch (Patched)

Note: Make sure you spelled it correctly and made your text black, or else it won't work. Alternatively, try the word 'pitcher'.

First go to Options, then Parental Controls and make sure the "Filter inappropriate language" choice is checked. Now make your text black (`b) and type Kitchen. The word will come out as "`#?@!en" because it thought you wrote a bad word. However, if you leave "Filter inappropriate language" off, you will see the message normally.

2:30 Growtopia Time (Patched)

Note: Growtopia Time is UTC + 9, which is the same time as Tokyo or Seoul back then, but later changed to UTC - 5.

Plant a tree at exactly 2:30, then the tree will have 4 blocks in it.

Debug Mode Glitch (Patched)

Note: This must be done on PC because they have to do keyboard commands.

By typing Ctrl + F, players will see their game's FPS, they will have faster movement and faster punches. However, it would get them banned for 3 days eventually for "speed hacking". It was fixed and removed on January 2015.

Dragon Gate Glitch (Patched)

If a player stands in a Dragon Gate he doesn't have access to and wrenches it, the gate will close but he will not die.

Painted Xenonite Glitch (Patched)

In a world with a painted Xenonite Crystal, players who touch fire (from Pocket Lighters or Eldrich Flames) will get auto-banned for 60 days.

Access without Access (Patched)

If a player has a Small/Big/Huge Lock and sets it to public, but doesn't press "Ok" yet but instead attempts to give himself access to the lock, the border of the lock will turn yellow, but players without access won't be able to build/break. If there is a closed House Entrance-like item, and a player without access stands on it, the player will be auto-banned for 60 days.

Jelly Block and Lava glitch (Patched)

If a player puts a Jelly Block under them and Lava on top, they will get Auto-Banned for 60 days.

Locked Growmojis (Patched)

When IOTM March 2018 was first released, then at first few hours, players could use locked growmojis with typing the emoji twice. Example: (gems)(gems). It still works if they do /me using the glitch or typing (:)gems) or (:)wl) etc.

Code Glitch (Patched)

On the 6th of April, there's a glitch where if you type in '___&%@PL@%&___' on any blocks that has the function to label words such as Sign, and letting a person walk towards the block that's labelled, it will cause their entire Growtopia to crash. Even though it's patched, those who had that before it's patch are still in-game.

Gaia's Beacon Glitch (Patched)

On 27th May, 2020 a glitch was discovered which could be used to make the Gaia's Beacon collect blocks instead of seeds. This glitch could also be used to make Unstable Tesseract collect seeds.

Item Duplication Glitch (Patched)

Note: The duplicated items are not permanent and will be lost after logging out. They cannot be placed, dropped, or traded.

Drop something then press Enter and exit the world immediately after dropping.

It is no longer possible to achieve this as the menu and the drop menu can no longer both be opened simultaneously.
