Technically you can already mod Terraria on PS4 and XB1. The problem is that there's no popular and reliable way to do it. The easiest way to do it is probably by jailbreaking your console and create your own mods, and that's NOT EASY. PLEASE can somone tell me how to get an all items world on the Ps4 that would be REALLY helpful becuase nobody says anything about the.
.If you were one of the 50,000 people who bought Terraria on the first day it was released, you might have forgotten you own it. It’s been quite a while since 2011, after all, and you might think that Terraria has been made obsolete by more recent sandbox games.You might think that, but you’d be wrong. Terraria still holds it own among the out there in 2020.
This is partially because of the sheer freedom that the game gives you, which is only really rivaled by Minecraft.And that’s before we even get to the mods, which is what we’re going to look at today. If you haven’t played Terraria for a while, you’re going to be in for a surprise.
Over the past 8 years, hundreds of people have put in thousands of hours adapting Terraria, and have produced everything from complete overhauls to small tweaks that just make life easier.So we thought we’d pull all the best Terraria mods together for you, and put them in a neat list. You’re welcome, don’t mention it.#1 tModLoaderOk, let’s get one thing out of the way first. Back in the day, Terraria mods were a nightmare. Leave aside making them for a moment: just installing the damn things was super hard. You had to mess around in the game folders, and trying to get different mods to play nicely together often resulted in bricked installs.Not any more. TModLoader is a mod that lets you install other mods easily and quickly. It’s also easy to install: just download the zip folder, move it to your Terraria directory, unzip it, and there you go. It loads from within Terraria itself and gives you a nice clear menu of the mods that are available.
It will also manage the mods you have installed and clears up compatibility issues. Almost.Almost, because if you have too many mods active at once, you are going to run into trouble. If that happens, you can go to DocumentsMy GamesTerrariaModLoaderMods and clear it out a bit. In general, though, tModLoader just gets out of the way and is by far the best way to download, install, and manage the rest of the mods on this list. So, the most boring mod out of the way, let’s get on with the fun stuff.#2 Terraria OverhaulAs the name suggests, Terraria Overhaul is one of the most complete sets of changes to the base game of any mods out there. Terraria Overhaul is a pretty strange mod, actually. In some ways, it doesn’t add that much to the base game: you don’t get quests or new NPCs or better weapons or anything like that.
What you get, and what makes Terraria Overhaul one of the best mods for Terraria, is a more reactive, more enjoyable version of the classic game.I’ll give you some examples. Melee combat is a lot better than the (kind of boring) way this is handled in the base game. You now have a button to dodge and roll away from attacks, and speed now makes a difference to how powerful your attacks are.The dynamics of the Terraria world itself also get subtle (and great) changes in Terraria Overhaul.
The mod adds seasons, which affect the way that the various biomes work. Excessive heat or cold can completely change the biomes, making them more dangerous or more lucrative. Fire is also able to spread between regions, and can devastate grassy areas, creating an entirely new biome: “The Ashes”.The graphics of the game also get an upgrade. Character sprites are given more frames of animation, so movement is smoother and more intuitive.
Just be warned that this might put a little more strain on your CPU than the original game, and so you might want to upgrade your equipment if your playing on the same rig from 2011.Overall, Terraria Overhaul adds a huge deal to the experience of Terraria. It might not add as much as some of the other mods on this list, but it improves gameplay drastically. With Terraria Overhaul, the game feels like a and not just a 2D platformer that has Minecrafty elements.Terraria Overhaul also works fine with (most of) the other mods on this list and is a great way to improve your base game experience before installing some of the more content-rich mods.#3 CalamityCalamity is one of the most popular mods for Terraria, and if you completed the base game last time around, this is the mod to go for.Calamity adds a lot to the late game. If you’re coming back to Terraria, and are playing again from the beginning, you might not notice many changes at first.
Collecting weapons and certain types of ores is a little easier, which lets you speed up the early game a little bit, and will get you monster hunting a but quicker.It’s after the boss battle with the Moon Lord that Calamity comes into its own. There are 24 new bosses to fight, and each biome gets a load of new monster types. Some of these even drop new items, which leads to expanded crafting possibilities. You’re going to need many of these new items to face the new end-boss of Calamity, who is truly a monster.Calamity also adds a few new game modes to Terraria, each aimed at increasing the difficulty of the game for experienced players. ‘Revengeance’ and ‘Death’ modes offer increasing levels of difficulty but also add increased loot to (hopefully) get you through. Death mode is brutal enough, but then you also have ‘Armageddon’, where bosses can kill you in one hit.Finally, for those seeking the ultimate challenge, there is ‘Iron Heart’ mode. This adds permadeath to the game, something that many people felt was missing from the original, but be advised that this mode is only recommended for the most experienced players.
Overall, Calamity is a great mod if you are already an experienced player and are looking for your next Terraria challenge.#4 ThoriumBefore Calamity, there was Thorium. This huge mod was the most popular add-on to Terraria for years and offers a well-balanced array of new archetypes, bosses, and biomes. The most notable change that Thorium brings to the base Terraria game is the introduction of two new archetypes. The Bard can deal sonic damage to enemies, but also buff you and your allies when you are out monster hunting.The Healer, as the name suggests, will heal your party, but this class is also able to deal damage in the later game thanks. Both of these archetypes are of fairly limited use in the single-player game, to be honest, but they add a lot more depth to multiplayer gameplay.In terms of adding hours to the vanilla game, Thorium doesn’t add as much as Calamity. The end game, in particular, is only extended a little bit. What Thorium does do, though, is smooth out the route to the Moon Lord, adding plenty of bosses in between the ones you are used to.
This extends the game and also limits those annoying and abrupt step-ups in difficulty that were a sometimes frustrating feature of the original game.Perhaps the most impressive feature of Thorium, though, is the way that the mod manages to maintain the style and feel of the original game. DivermanSam, the lead developer of this mod, has taken what made the original game work so well and expanded upon it in a logical and consistent way. This means that most of the time, the elements that Thorium adds are indistinguishable from the vanilla game.That might sound like a criticism, but it’s not. Thorium adds a lot to Terraria, but subtly.
If you’re not ready for the craziness of Calamity, but still want to extend the fun a little, then Thorium is the way to go.#5 Tremor RemasteredTremor Remastered is mad. Playing this mod is like being inside the minds of some very talented, and very strange, developers. Originally developed by Jofairden and partners, the approach to developing this mod seems to have been one of ‘anything goes’.
It feels less like a cohesive overhaul of the game, and more like a playground in which some talented mod designers have had a whole lot of fun.These are not criticisms. Tremor Remastered is one of the most fun Terraria mods you can play if only for the constantly surprising new features and bosses it adds. At one time, these new features were appearing so quickly that the wiki page for the mod wasn’t able to keep up, and what we are left with is an amazing (if messy) array of weird and wonderful additions.These additions won’t be to everyone’s taste.
There is a strange sense of humor at work behind some of the new bosses, for instance, including a murderous cob of corn and a mutant (?) whale. These are quite a departure from the original game, but as long as you don’t take Terraria too seriously they are a lot of fun.Another addition is the ‘Alchemist’ character class, another feature that I know some people are against. This character is able to throw explosive or poisonous flasks at enemies. Though the developers have tried hard to match the complexity of the other character classes with this new one, the Alchemist is basically a character that throws bombs. Whether you think that’s fun, or undermines the skill of the game, will be a matter of personal preference.Overall, Tremor Remastered is worth a download, if only to see the lengths that some mod developers have gone to.
And if you’ve already tried some of the other mods for Terraria, and are getting bored of them, trust me: Tremor Remastered still has something to surprise you.#6 Super Terraria WorldNo list of the best mods for Terraria would be complete with Super Terraria World. This mod overturns the most basic mechanics of how the game works. Whether you like that or not will depend on how much of a Terraria purist you are, but there’s no denying that Super Terraria World massively extends the base game.That’s because it makes Terraria into an MMORPG. In order to do so, it takes a lot (and I mean a lot) out of the game. Gone are most of the sandbox elements. That includes, get ready for it, the procedurally generated map. This is such a basic feature of the original game that many people think taking it out wrecks the experience.So does it? The maps you get in Super Terraria World are authored, so you’re not going to get the unique experience you have with other mods.
On the other hand, they are authored very well. Thousands of hours have evidently gone into the design of each section of the mod.Some people love Super Terraria World, and some don’t. The thing is, the game sits a bit awkwardly between genres. It was never designed to be an MMORPG, after all, so a complex set of branching map instances are used to support multiple player choices. This allows the mod to support up to 50 players: nothing by MMORPG standards, but a massive extension for Terraria.If you like MMORPGs and Terraria, Super Terraria World is going to be a great experience. On the other hand, Terraria is never going to be a full MMORPG, so for hardcore fans, it might be a bit of a letdown.#7 N TerrariaN Terraria is another mod that aims to shake up the original gameplay of Terraria without affecting the dynamics that made the original so fun. N Terraria is essentially a bundle of new material and mechanisms that make Terraria into a.
In order to do this, the developers have taken inspiration from the classics of the genre and given the base game plenty of extra playability.First up, N Terraria features a leveling system, so you can (slowly) upgrade your characters as you play through the game. This dynamic adds a lot of extra gameplay (and time) to the base game. On the other hand, it can also add that classic element of RPG gameplay: repeatedly killing the same enemies to get to the next level.N Terraria also adds loads of new items, races, and classes. There are plenty of new NPC companions, and (of course) quests. These are well-designed, and the mod truly feels like a worthy addition to the RPG genre, even if it is based on a sandbox. A couple of words of warning, though. The first is that N Terraria is a stand-alone mod, so it is not available through tModLoader.You will need to download, install, and run a separate executable.
That’s not to difficult though, and the wiki walks you through the process. The second word of warning is that N Terraria is super hard. It’s clearly been designed by RPG fans with a lot of experience behind them, and you are going to struggle to complete it. That’s not a criticism: I, for one, miss the days of impossible games.But you are going to get frustrated and throw your or even the entire across the room more than once.
Overall, if you miss the days of classic 2D RPGs, and are already pretty good at Terraria, give N Terraria a go.It will bring back memories if nothing else.#8 Reduced GrindingTerraria purists will tell you that every hour spent playing the game is important. But honestly, we all know that the game can involve a lot of repetitive, boring tasks. This is especially true of the early game, where building up even a basic base can take hours. It doesn’t really get any better towards the end, either, where you are going to be killing loads of enemies in the minuscule hope that one – just one – will drop the item you need.There are plenty of mods out there that aim to take some of the time and hassle out of Terraria, and I’ll show you some of them below. But Reduced Grinding is a mod that aims to bring together a lot of these tools, and so is a great catch-all solution for making the game faster and more fun.Reduced Grinding is not cheating, though. It adds new potions which increase spawn rates, for instance, but you’re still going to have to craft the potions.
You can also skip certain events if you don’t want them getting in the way of your real objective. Then there are some more questionable features, like being able to increase the drop rate of rare items.Whether you think mods like this are cheating will depend on how much of a purist you are, but my opinion is this: games are supposed to be fun. If you’re coming back to Terraria after a while away, and are starting a fresh game, do you really want to do the donkey work of setting up a new base? No. Reduced Grinding is a mod, in short, that lets you get to where you want to be a little quicker. Then you can always turn it off.#9 Legend of Zelda WavebankLast, but definitely not least, we have Legend of Zelda Wavebank. This is not so much a mod as a new score for the game, based on the classic tunes of the Ocarina of Time.
If you’re old enough to remember that game the first time around, you’re going to love playing Terraria to the music.You can choose other music, of course. In fact, I wanted to put this ‘mod’ on the list partially to point out that changing the music in Terraria is actually super easy. Go into your game files, and find the ‘Wavebank’ folder. Make a copy, put it somewhere safe, and delete the original.You can now download hundreds of different pieces of music from the Terraria wiki and put them in the game folder. Just make sure the music folder is called ‘Wave Bank’, and the game will play the music the next time you load it. You can choose whatever music you like, of course. I just think that the Legend of Zelda tunes are the best.#10 Best of The RestAlongside all the fully-featured mods in this list, there are hundreds of minor mods that can make Terraria more fun, more difficult, or simply more weird. A lot of these, in my opinion, should have always been included in the base game.
But I guess that’s what the mod community is for, and that they will be included in Terraria 2, whenever that comes out.I’ll give you some examples. Perhaps the most useful small mod is the Recipe Browser, which gives you in-game access to a searchable database of everything you can craft. At the very least, the browser means you don’t have to have The Guide open in a separate browser window in order to look up the same recipe for the hundredth time.Then there are some mods that will help you with killing bosses.
One of the most useful, actually, is the Boss Checklist, which gives you (you’ve guessed it) a checklist of the bosses you’ve killed, and who is next. Then there are a variety of Boss Health Bar mods, in order to give you something that really should have been included in the vanilla game.Then there are some minor mods that some people might find a little cheaty. One of these, for instance, is Magic Storage. This integrates all of your stored resources and gears into one network and lets you request items wherever you are. Another is the Extensible Inventory mod, which (as the name suggests) lets you configure how many inventory slots you have.Both of these mods are cheating, obviously. But the thing is, they are only speeding up a repetitive process that you know how to do anyway. The tenth time you have to do a run to town to dump dirt, it can really get in the way of the gameplay.Another great mod is TerraFirma, which takes a lot of repetition out of Terraria without making the game any easier.
Terrafirma basically compiles a map file from your saved game and will give you a map that includes everything you have discovered. Not only does this help you to plan where to explore next, but it also takes some of the guesswork out of finding particular resources, so you can get to the next boss quicker.The FutureSo there we have it, a list of the best mods for Terraria. You probably think I’ve missed some, I’m sure, but that’s what the comments section is for. Before I go, though, I want to say two more things.
One is that, though I’ve listed the mods above individually, you can have a whole lot of fun combining them. Just make sure that you’ve got tModLoader installed first, so they play nicely together.Second, you might have noticed that a lot of the mods above are pretty old. There’s a reason for that: Terraria itself is pretty old, and it seems that we’ve reached the limits of what the modding community can (or wants to) do. That’s not to say Terraria is dead. It’s still a great game, mods or no mods, and will remain one of my favorite sandbox games until the day, in some distant future, that the rumors about Terraria 2 turn out to be true.Now that you know what are a must-have Terraria mods, check out our guides on other!You just love modding? Here are some other exciting mods to try:.

If you're looking to optimize your audio, here are the out there, for PC gaming.Let's start big, shall we? The Tremor Mod Remastered is one of the best Terraria mods out there, and is as close to a total conversion as you're likely to get. Packing over 522 items (including weapons), seven NPCs, loads of mobs, and six new bosses, the mod's seven-person team isn't kidding when it says 'our goal for the mod is to make Terraria even bigger and to fill it with even more content than it has.' Furthermore, Tremor adds exclusive expert mode treasure which should keep even the best Terraria players/intrepid loot hunters going for some time.
ImkSushi's crafting modTerraria is a game about growth—about building up your character, your skills and, crucially, your chances of survival. Crafting plays a very large part of this and while there's something to be said about perseverance and successful scavenging, imkSushi's mod lets you craft whatever the heck you want, whenever the heck you like.
This quality of life addition makes items that are usually found in chests and drops readily available, therefore this naturally this suits action-oriented players. It even lets you buy boss-summoning items from NPCs, so long as you've previously defeated the adversary in question. N TerrariaTerraria is already a time-sink to rival any RPG, but this entry in our best Terraria mods, N Terraria, turns it into a fully featured roleplaying experience with all of the trappings: classes, races, a level system, NPC companions and even quests.
It’s got it all. It’s a perfect way to add some longevity to what is already a very deep game. It also makes the game harder than Adamantite, but it’s all part of the charm. TerraFirmaTerraFirma is the premier mapping tool for the curious adventurer. This invaluable tool pulls the world map out of your save and makes it viewable, taking the guesswork out of spelunking for resources.
You can also use it to sneak a peek into chests, search for statues or even find the underground desert. Terraria OverhaulDon't be fooled by its generic name, this ambitious undertaking adds a bunch of new gameplay mechanics—targeting everything from combat to seasons, dodge-rolls, electricity systems and player movement. Terraria Overhaul describes itself as a 'huge' mod, and that feels like an understatement.
ThoriumThe grandmaster of Terraria overhauls. Tremor, as featured elsewhere on this list, is a great mod—excellent, even—however Thorium is above and beyond the best there is. Think new bosses, new NPCs, new enemies, new items, a new multiplayer healer class, new just about everything you can think of—this 'un upgrades Terraria's vanilla state in just about every way imaginable. What's more, bosses harness unique attack patterns and have a tendency towards projectile offence, which makes expert mode only suitable for those with utmost skill and a cool temperament. Or at least a replacement keyboard/control pad. TerraSavrAnother utility for our best Terraria mods round up, TerraSavr lets you fiddle with your items: point it at your Terraria.plr and you can edit your character’s variables, imbue your items with buffs or—if you’re a filthy cheat—give yourself new items.This isn’t limited to shiny new gear either, the tool makes every item in the game searchable and from there you just click and drag it into your inventory. It’s web based, so you just click the link and get to work.
CalamityLike Tremor and Thorium, Calamity adds a ridiculous amount of new stuff by way of both standard and unique weapons (melee, ranged and magic), armour loadouts, items, and accessories. The mod also flaunts five new types of mineable ores and tiles, not to mention ten new bosses—each with its own distinct strengths and weaknesses. While perhaps not quite as sophisticated as the overhauls noted above, creator MountainDrew runs regular polls on the mod's tModLoader page where he or she asks for suggestions regarding what to add next. Super Terraria WorldSuper Terraria World has been around for a couple of years, but has continually impressed with the speed in which it's grown.
This mod transforms the base game into a fully realised RPG (it bills itself as a 'standalone MMORPG overhaul mod') including intricate quests, skills, NPCs and all that's expected from a role-playing adventure lark. Once a part-time endeavour, its creators have recently launched a Patreon with the aim of pushing its boundaries further still, and its most recent update—number 1.12a—launched alongside an. This mod is ideal for those not just after extra mileage in Terraria, but also additional structure. Legend of Zelda WavebankAfter a hundred hours or so, you might start itching to change the music. There’s a lot of different music mods for Terraria, but I use the great Legend of Zelda Wavebank, which adds classic tracks from Ocarina of Time.
There are a whole lot of other choices on the, including original compositions and renditions of the Mario and Halo soundtracks.Installation is easy. Go to Terraria’s content folder. You’ll need to make a copy of the file Wave Bank and move it somewhere safe, then drag the sound pack into the folder and make sure it’s called Wave Bank. The game will start playing the music from the pack next time you launch.
TModLoadertModLoader's creator describes it as a mod to make mods, which makes it a vital resource for anyone interested in modding Terraria. It follows in the footsteps of the discontinued tAPI, and helps modders keep their creations compatible with one another.Not quite as sexy as a total conversion, rebalancing or slew of new items, but tModLoader helps keep new mods ticking along years after Terraria's release.
