Combining the elements of classic action games with the freedom of sandbox-style creativity, Terraria is one of the best indie games ever made. It is completely open and what you want to do in any given time is always up to you. The game kept (and even grew) its player base for 7 years and it is updated frequently even to this day.
One of the elements that the game owes its success to is its openness to the modding community. The game is easily modifiable and the developers always welcomed mod developers. There are hundreds of mods; from quality of life improvements to complete overhauls. Since it is already really cheap ($9.99 on Steam) and goes on sale really often, chances are you have Terraria on your Steam library but if you have never played it before, now is your chance to jump in and try it with all the mods we will list here. Even if you only played the vanilla game until now, some gameplay mods and overhauls can revitalize the game for you. Here are the best Terraria mods.

Terraria is a fun game, but it is also one that requires a lot of grinding. Farming for materials and rare items can sometimes take quite a bit of time and it can get a bit tedious if you do not like grinding. Reduced Grinding mod does what its name suggests. It adds new potions that increase spawn rates, configure/skip events and increase the drop rate of rare items.

Cheat Sheet
This mod is not an overhaul or a gameplay modification, it is rather a tool that lets you mess around with the assets of the game. It is basically native Terraria’s sandbox mode that lets you spawn anything you want and it also lets you paint the map or create/copy-paste new areas on the map. It is a valuable tool for the creative minds and fun to play with for other people.

Terraria Overhaul

Thorium
All kneel before the biggest mod of Terraria: Thorium. This mod is so big and adds/changes so much stuff that we are surprised it is not called “Terraria 2”. It adds 1800 new items, 55 new armor sets, 180 new enemies and banners, 150 new tiles, blocks and furniture, 10 new NPCs, 11 new bosses, a new biome, 2 completely new classes and rebalances the game on many different aspects. If I were to recommend only one mod to install from this list, this would be it.

Tremor
One of the biggest mods for Terraria, Tremor adds an abundance of new items features and feels like a big, free DLC to an already deep game. It adds over 1600 new items, 21 new bosses, 13 new NPCs, 2 new invasions and more. All the new weapons and armors to grind and bosses to kill adds a lot of longevity to this game and makes this mod one of the musts if you are a fan of the game.

Just like Tremor and Thorium, Calamity adds an abundance of new items to the game like 1100+ new items, 22 new bosses, 220+ new enemies, three new biomes, two new modes for the start of the game, ore generation on new world creation and recipes for vanilla items that were previously non-craftable.

Legend of Zelda Wavebank
Once you start playing and enjoying Terraria, going back without sinking hundreds of hours into the game -especially with the mods we listed here- is not an easy task. And hearing the same music over and over again during those hours can get boring pretty quick. This music package mod adds the classical musical pieces of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time which suits the theme of Terraria perfectly in my opinion.

A magic storage system consists of exactly one Storage Heart, which is the interface used to store and retrieve items but does not in itself serve as a container, and at least one Storage Unit is required (as they are the actual containers). A basic storage unit can hold 40 stacks of items - same as a normal container - but they can be upgraded in tiers to increase their holding capacity.
- Crimtane Storage Unit and Demonite Storage Unit: 80 stacks
- Hellstone Storage Unit: 120 stacks
- Hallowed Storage Unit: 160 stacks
- Blue Chlorophyte Storage Unit: 240 stacks
- Luminite Storage Unit: 320 stacks
- Terra Storage Unit: 640 stacks
A storage system can also feature additional elements:
Is Tmodloader Offline
- Storage Component: The basic building block of a storage system, the storage components by themselves have no functional use besides working as connectors. They are, however, used to create Storage Hearts, Storage Units, and more.
- Storage Connector: Used to connect together various elements, and is a cheaper and more practical alternative to using Storage Components for the same purpose.
- Storage Access: Adds an additional access point to the storage system, since only one Storage Heart can be used in a system.
- Storage Crafting Interface: Stores up to ten crafting stations and allows the crafting of items from stored materials.
- Remote Storage Access: An alternative to long lines of Storage Connectors, a Remote Storage Access allows a distant connection, through the use of Locators or Locator Drives. A Remote Storage Access cannot be physically connected to a Storage Heart or another Remote Storage Access, but it can be connected to Storage Units, Storage Accesses, and Storage Crafting Interfaces.
See Recipes for how to start crafting your magic storage system.

Notes[edit | edit source]
- Non-stackable items (accessories, equipment, tools, weapons, etc.) will be shown stacked in the storage system (if they have the same prefix), however they are not actually stacked. For example, 40 Shacklewill fill a basic Storage Unit even if they appear as a single stack when seen in the storage system.
- Etherian Mana is safe in a storage system, even if it is accessed outside of the Old One's Army event.
- This mod is a Terraria counterpart to Minecraft's Applied Energistics and serves many similar functions. (mass storage, crafting GUI, remote access, etc)
