The Best Mods for Terraria: New Items, Enemies, Bosses, and Gameplay Enhancements
Terraria is so popular that it has gathered a large community of mod creators around it. Fans make the gameplay more convenient, add new features, and sometimes create tons of content. We have selected the best modifications that will significantly improve the game.
How to Install the TModLoader Mod and Why You Need It
First of all, install the tModLoader modification. It allows you to easily add other mods to the game, and some user additions won't work without it. For Steam version owners of Terraria, this is quite simple. tModLoader has become a free addition to the game, so installation is done directly in the store client.
If you have the GoG version, first download TModLoader from the official page. Be sure to make sure that the mod version matches your game. Then follow the simple instructions:
- Go to the root folder of the game and be sure to rename the Terraria.exe file if you don't want serious problems with your characters;
- Copy the contents of the downloaded archive to the root folder of the game, replacing all files;
- You will have a new game shortcut. If everything is done correctly, when you launch Terraria, you will find the built-in TModLoader browser. Through it, you can select and download modifications automatically. If a modification is not in TModLoader, carefully check the installation method from the developer.
And now let's move on to the list of the modifications themselves, some of which can completely change the game.
N Terraria
A modification for those who dreamed of turning the game into a real RPG. Terraria will get a class system, races, leveling up, main and secondary quests will be implemented. Of course, N Terraria will bring a huge portion of content in the form of new monsters, items, and bosses. And if you are not interested in the RPG component, you can disable it and leave only the items and enemies from the modification.
The Thorium Mod
A huge pack of new content for the game. Numbers best characterize the modification:
- 2000 new items;
- 55 additional armor sets;
- 180 new enemies;
- 150 new building items;
- 10 towns with NPCs;
- 11 bosses;
- Biome Aquatic Depths;
- 3 new classes: thrower, bard, and healer.
Perhaps in this modification, there are worthy opponents for which you will need to create the most powerful sword.
Recipe Browser
With this mod, crafting becomes more convenient. Sorting by multiple filters, easy creation of multi-step recipes, in-game help, and many other features that will make the game easier.
Omnirs Nostalgia Pack
Essentially, another huge pack of new content for the game. Only the author decided to create the modification based on well-known universes like Final Fantasy, Tibia, and Lord of the Rings. The pack includes more than 100 new creatures, including 11 bosses. Additionally, a whole bunch of extra items. The installation of the modification requires tModLoader.
Super Terraria World
As you might guess from the name, the game will become similar to a classic MMORPG. One of the main features of the modification is the unification of several worlds into one. Also, a leveling and skill system has been implemented, both combat and non-combat. Additionally, the player can travel through hand-crafted regions.
Terraria Overhaul
A modification that, instead of adding new content, tries to improve the original gameplay. The developers have reworked the combat system, added seasons, changed some effects, improved AI, and made the game more interactive. And this is just a small part of what can be found in Terraria Overhaul.
Max Stack Plus Extra
A slightly cheat mod that allows you to increase the stack size. Thanks to this, inventory management will become much less stressful.
Calamity
Another huge pack of new content:
- 1880 additional items;
- 24 bosses;
- Over 275 new enemies;
- 6 new biomes;
- 5 additional difficulty modes.
The modification also makes some changes to items, making them more balanced. Additionally, you can install atmospheric music for Calamity.
Boss Checklist
With this mod, you can track defeated bosses. Very convenient in the later stages of the game. TModLoader is required for installation. Considering that recently even more bosses have been added to the game, the modification becomes more relevant.
Magic Storage
Another modification designed to simplify inventory management. Now you will have a unified storage network with several convenient features.
