This page contains a sortable list of item IDs that are used internally in Terraria's game code to reference items. This information can be useful for research purposes, or in the development of third-party software, like mods and map viewers.
Items are entities that are among the most basic components of Terraria. There are 5000+ items within the game; specifically 5455 items. The player can interact with most items by using, consuming, or placing them. Items are always in one of two forms: "dropped", i.e. being part of the world, or in an inventory pertaining to a player, NPC vendor, or storage item. Dropped items can usually be picked up by the player to move them into their inventory, and they can usually be dropped out of the inventory again.
When an item is in its "dropped" form, any player making contact with the item will pick it up, automatically placing it in their inventory (if there is sufficient space). In addition, all players draw ("pull") all items within a certain range towards them in order to make contact with them. This range is referred to as pickup range. It consists of a rectangular area of, by default, 5.255.25 tiles, centered on the player. Certain effects increase the pickup range for certain items:[1]
"Pulled" items have an acceleration and maximum speed, hence it is possible that an item is not pulled in completely, e.g. if the player is moving very fast and causes it to be out of pickup range before they could make contact with it.
Items that are in the "dropped" state will disappear ("despawn") upon exiting the world. At that point, it is impossible to reacquire them. If there are more than 400 "dropped" items on the world, items will also start despawning. In this instance, the items that have remained dropped for the longest amount of time may vanish as new items are added to the screen.
All NPC vendors offer the same base buy and sell value, however prices can be decreased by equipping a Discount Card, which is a rare drop from Pirate Invasions. Buy and sell values can also be higher or lower based on the NPC's happiness level.
Hovering over an item in the NPC's shop inventory will display the buy value. Hovering over an item in the player's inventory while the NPC's inventory screen is open will display its sell value. Items are always sold to vendors at 1/5 of their purchase price. Not all items have a sell value. Sales to ( and purchases from) NPCs can be cancelled while the NPC's inventory screen is still open: Sold items can be taken back in exchange for the amount they were sold for ( and purchased items can be sold back in exchange for the amount they were purchased for).
You can't move items automatically, but you can move yourself to the items automatically. If you set up a minecart track, using bumpers at the end, you can hold one key and move along the minecart track. Some autoclickers are able to hold a key for you.
If you don't trust an autoclicker, you can use an autoswing weapon and sticky tape down your left mouse button; in controls you can assign right click to a movement key and tape it down too and that will keep your character moving.
Qwerty's Bosses and Items is a sizeable content mod for Terraria that aims to add a lot of unique and interesting content, including many items and bosses scattered throughout Vanilla's Progression.
The Calamity Mod adds recipes for certain vanilla items, weapons, and accessories that previously only could be obtained through chests or enemy drops, so the player cannot be prevented from obtaining those items in their world, or so the player will not have to extensively farm enemies to obtain them. Some recipes have been added simply for convenience, so certain items can be obtained more reliably and easily or in greater quantities.
Additionally, the mod changes the recipes of several vanilla items, overwriting their original recipes. The reason for doing so varies depending on the recipe, such as buffing or nerfing the crafting costs of certain items, or to move the respective items into different tiers.
It allows user to upload their Terraria character (also called player or profile) file,perform operations over it(such as modifying it's looks, adding/removing items and buffs, etc.),and save it back to disk for later use in-game in single-player or multi-player modes.
Terrasavr works with latest version of Terraria, but can also load and save player files madeby earlier versions of the game, meaning that it can be used to migrate savegames back and forthbetween game versions.
Due to web-based nature, Terrasavr is used explicitly online, without having to download or install any software. It also works on all major operative systems and browsers,including Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android.
In the visual world of Terraria, appearance is everything. Players obsess over the looks of their environment, their houses, and their character. Cosmetic or Vanity items are a great way for players to obtain a unique and interesting look for their character while still wearing valuable armor and gear.
There are dozens of cosmetic items that appear in the game ranging from simple hats to entire costumes. From Halloween events to updates the developers have introduced a variety of unique and iconic looks for players to use. In no particular order, here are some of the best that the game has to offer.
Updated December 18, 2022 by Maya Sattar: Fashion and aesthetic appearances are important to any game, especially Terraria, so players can explore their world in style! There are plenty of cosmetic items and vanity sets to discover in Terraria, and an outfit guaranteed to suit every player's desires.
This list previously mentioned some of the more interesting cosmetic items and how to obtain them. It seemed appropriate to mention a few more. Many of these new additions require participating in seasonal events like Halloween or obtaining certain crafting materials. From the Space Creature xenomorph to the mythical Unicorn, these are some of the best vanity sets to wear in Terraria.
Sunflowers are a sunny staple in Terraria and can brighten up any player's day. When in the vicinity of the player, they get the 'Happy' buff, which increases their movement speed and decreases the monster spawn rate. Why wouldn't the player want to dress up as one?!
Ever wanted to become a mermaid? The Mermaid vanity set in Terraria lets that dream become a reality! It comprises the Seashell Hairpin, Mermaid Adornment, and Mermaid Tail to let that dream become a reality and transform into an aquatic beauty.
All the player needs to do to obtain this stunning set is complete daily fishing quests for the Angler NPC, and it will eventually randomly be given as a reward. The Mermaid Tail transforms the player's legs and walking animation, so they look as though they are sliding.
The only method of obtaining this vanity set is through Goodie Bags, dropped by enemies during Halloween seasonal events, with a 5.26% chance of appearing. Pair the unicorn vanity set with the Blessed Apple unicorn mount for double the magic!
The Mushroom vanity set is undoubtedly an interesting one and is made up of the Mushroom Hat, Mushroom Shirt, and Mushroom Pants, turning the player into Toad himself. It can only be found underground in the Mushroom Chests in the Glowing Mushroom Biome.
This vanity set is another one limited to the Halloween seasonal event and drops from Goodie Bags with a 5.26% chance. Wearing it turns the player into one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Leonardo. The male and female variants of the set are exactly the same.
The Ancient set is one of the best vanity items Terraria has in hard mode. It comprises the Ancient Headdress, Ancient Garments, and the Ancient Slacks. It bears a resemblance to the ancient Egyptian god of Anubis.
Players wanting this vanity set must craft it at the Loom. Each piece of the set will need the following ingredients 15 Silk and 5 Ancient Cloth. Silk is obtained from cobwebs and Ancient Cloth can rarely spawn from Ghouls. Fortunately, its only use in the game is to craft this particular vanity set or be sold.
Players must defeat the Dr. Man Fly during the Solar Eclipse Event in Hardmode. The Dr. Man Fly appears after defeating Plantera and is a relatively slow traveler. The Solar Eclipse is a random event that rarely occurs at dawn after a mechanical boss has been defeated. Using a Solar Tablet will also work, and these fragments can be found from killing enemies in the Jungle Temple.
These items drop from aliens during the Martian Madness event. After the player defeats the Golem, a Martian Prob may rarely spawn in the Space layer of the map. If the player encounters it and lets it get away, the event begins. There is a 0.5% chance each item will drop from the Martians that are killed.
The Space Creature set is one of the eerie Terraria vanity items that exist in the game. Meant to resemble the Xenomorph from the movie Alien, it comprises of three parts: the Mask, Shirt, and Pants.
Each piece is only obtainable from Goodie Bags during Halloween. There is a 5.26% chance of appearing whenever one is opened. Goodies Bags have a 1.25% of dropping from any enemy killed during Halloween.
On the Nintendo 3DS version of Terraria, players can obtain the Ninja vanity set. It is identical to the Ninja Armor, except for having no Defense or set bonuses, and is worn in the Social slot for aesthetic purposes. It comprises the Ninja Hood, Ninja Shirt, and Ninja Pants.
The vanity pieces can only be obtained from a Lepus in the Nintendo 3DS version. There is a 3% chance each item will drop. The Lepus can be summoned via the Suspicious Looking Egg that drops from Corrupt Bunnies and Disaster Bunnies during the Easter event.
At the heart of Terraria is a story of old gods and the beings that worship them. The player can now pretend to be one of those crazed individuals that wish to summon the Moon Lord, with two different cosmetic sets: the Lunar and Solar Cultist sets.
