Calamity Mod
The largest Terraria mod. 25+ bosses, 2000+ items, new biomes, post-Moon Lord content, and insane difficulty scaling.
Thorium Mod
Vanilla-plus expansion. New Bard and Healer classes, 80+ items per boss, and content that feels like it belongs in the base game.
Fargo's Souls Mod
Enchantment system, Eternity Mode (extreme difficulty), and the soul mod's unique boss summon items.
Quality of Life
Make the game less tedious without changing balance. Install all of these.
Magic Storage
Centralized item storage system. Deposit all items in one place, search, and craft from the storage network.

Boss Checklist
In-game boss checklist showing what you've defeated, what's next, and how to summon the next boss.
