Additional Mods For Calamity

[Руслан Еблан]

I am going to start a calamity playthrough however, I am unaware of other mods I should use with it. From the videos I have seen, the special chests are a must as well as another mod which let's you see the recipes of different items. Also, I saw a mod that buffs spawn rates. (I don't know the names of either of these mods so please let me know). Regardless, please let me know what other mods are essential for calamity

Vanilla Calamity mod music for music like the calamity mod music pack style. Also the calamity mod texture pack for nice looks.

Magic Storage is the one with the special chests I'm assuming, it has a system where you can have an interface of all your storage, which is quite useful due to how many new items there are. The other mod is Recipe Browser. And I think there's a few mods that allow you to buff spawn rates, the first ones that come to mine are Fargo's Mutant Mod and Quality of Terraria.

I haven't played with Fargo's Mutant Mod in a while, but from my memory it adds 3 new NPCs that sell event, mini bosses, and bosses summoning items. It also adds items that are able to make structures instantly, like a hell bridge. It adds a few other things alongside the item that buff spawn rates but you can look at the mod page itself if you want to know.

Quality of Terraria is probably one of my favorite mods. It has similar things to Fargo's Mutant Mod and more. And everything is a lot more polished. Though it's lacking a few things like items that are able to summon mini bosses and events, and items that instantly build structures.

I would also recommend Boss Checklist, which adds a menu that shows you all bosses, mini bosses, and events. It also tells you how to summon them and when you should fight them. Really useful mod if you're playing a mod for the first time.

Thank you.

One more question, I've heard of another mod named "lui afk", would you consider it cheating? I've heard people say before that having a tool to instantly build rows of platforms for an area is cheating, is this true?

Haven't used that mod for a while, but from what I remember it adds similar things that Fargo's Mutant Mod and Quality of Terraria adds just slightly more unbalanced. Like, it adds instant structures like Fargo's Mutant Mod does, but they're unlimited use, meaning you don't have to get the items to recraft them. And probably the most broken feature, unlimited mana accessories, which basically removes the main downside of playing mage.
