I was watching the trailer for Terraria, and I can see a height/depth indicator on some of the footage - how do you enable this?

This screenshot clearly shows a height meter

You can build a Depth Meter that will add that value to your UI. (And also a Copper Silver or Gold watch if you want the time shown in that screen shot)

UPDATE: In 1.1 a new item called the GPS was added that combines the functionality of these two items plus a third that tells horizontal positioning.

even better, with 1.1 you can get a compass from a mimic and combine the Depth Meter, Gold Watch and Compass at a Tinkering station to make a GPS, which does all of these things as one item – Skizzlefrits Dec 6 '11 at 15:57
