Available Mods¶
Official and community TerrariaModder mods are available on Nexus Mods. The TerrariaModder Vault builds its Browse catalog from Nexus releases that declare TerrariaModder Core as a requirement, so the list does not depend on a title keyword or a search ranking. You can also install a local archive for mods distributed elsewhere.

All mods require TerrariaModder Core to be installed first.

Evaluating Mods¶
Before installing a mod, consider:
1. Source Code Available?¶
Prefer mods with source code: - You can verify what it does - Community can audit for safety - Easier to report/fix issues
2. Recent Updates?¶
Check when the mod was last updated: - Works with current Terraria version? - Active maintenance?
3. Documentation¶
Good mods have: - Clear description of features - Installation instructions - Keybind documentation - Known issues listed
4. Community Feedback¶
Look for: - Download counts - User comments - Issue reports and responses
Mod Compatibility¶
With TerrariaModder Core¶
Some mods specify a framework_version in manifest.json. If present, the Vault compares it with the installed Core version and warns when they may not be compatible. Update Core when a mod requires a newer version, or continue at your discretion if you understand that the mod may still work. Invalid packages and unsafe archive layouts are rejected rather than offered as compatibility overrides.
With Other Mods¶
Most mods are compatible with each other. Issues can arise if: - Two mods patch the same method differently - Keybind conflicts (configure in ModMenu) - Both try to modify the same game data
With Terraria Versions¶
Mods are built for specific Terraria versions: - TerrariaModder targets Terraria 1.4.5.8 - Older/newer Terraria versions may have issues - Check mod documentation for supported versions
Troubleshooting¶
Mod Not Loading¶
- Check folder structure is correct
- Verify manifest.json is valid

Mod Crashes Game¶

- Check logs for error messages
- Report issue to mod author
