Terraria is an incredibly popular sandbox-style game, and many players enjoy setting up their own private servers to experience the game with their friends.
While the vanilla game experience is amazing, there are many mods available for Terraria that add a ton of content, features, and customization options. These mods can enhance the game experience and make it even more enjoyable!
In this post, we’ll be taking a look at the best Terraria server mods, so you can make your private server the best it can be.
What are the Best Terraria Server Mods?
Before we begin, it’s important that you have the tModLoader installed, a mod manager for all your Terraria mods prior to installing mods.
Supported by Terraria creator Re-Logic, tModLoader is available for free download on Steam.
Terraria server mods can range from simple quality-of-life improvements to completely overhauling the game experience. To know each one better, here’s a quick guide of the best Terraria server mods available today:
Terraria Overhaul
Instead of introducing new content, this Overhaul mod tinkers with a vast array of features, such as changing seasons and player movement.
It also amps up the enemy and AI carnage. The biggest change, however, has been made to Terraria’s combat system, resulting in intense battles that require more strategy and quick reactions to avoid enemies and reload weapons.
Thorium
Thorium, an additional Overhaul mod, adds a wealth of new content for players to sink their spears into. While Calamity adds more foes and bosses, Thorium adds new NPCs [1], biomes, and over 2,000 new items for players, in addition to three new classes: thrower, bard, and healer.
Therefore, if you’re more of an explorer than a fighter, this mod may be for you.
Calamity
The Calamity mod adds 24 new bosses, over 200 new enemies, and over a thousand new items. This mod is extremely difficult for Terraria veterans, especially if you choose one of its five new difficulty levels.
Extensible Inventory
This mod, as its name implies, adds additional space to your backpack. This mod alleviates the concern of running out of space for Terraria potions on long journeys to defeat Terraria bosses or explore new hostile locations.
This mod is technically a “cheat” because it allows you to expand your backpack indefinitely.
Recipe Browser
The recipe browser mod renders your Guide obsolete by providing a premier item search service. Using this search bar, you can quickly comb through items and filter through ingredients to discover craftable recipes. It’s also excellent for utilizing leftovers.
Boss Checklist
This boss checklist mod is a simple and useful mod to have running in the background if you’re unsure of which boss to fight next. It will keep you informed of your boss-killing progress.
Not only does it tell you in which order to confront each boss, but it also provides a satisfying checkmark next to each one you defeat.
Minecraft Music
Terraria excels at a variety of things, but Minecraft has one of the greatest soundtracks of all time. If you’re searching for a soothing Terraria soundtrack, look no further.
Explore the Minecraft Music Add-On mod to replace Terraria’s soundtrack with music from Minecraft, Minecraft Story Mode, and Minecraft Dungeons.
Conclusion
These are just some of the best Terraria server mods available. There are hundreds of other mods out there, so be sure to explore and find the ones that best suit your playstyle.
With the right combination of mods, you can make your private server the perfect place for you and your friends to enjoy Terraria!
