Mod of Headshots

Why swing wildly when you can aim with purpose? This mod adds a clean, skill-based headshot mechanic to Terraria, rewarding accuracy with satisfying feedback and bonus damage.

With a bow, wand, or dagger in hand, landing a shot on the upper part of an enemy’s hitbox turns precision into power.

• NEW - Epic Boss Encounters: Go head-to-head with Terraria's greatest challenges! Custom, hand-tuned headshot zones have been added for numerous iconic bosses, complete with unique mechanics:
  
  • Vanilla: Empress of Light, Lunatic Cultist, Wyvern, and The Destroyer (head only!).
    
  • Calamity Mod: Supreme Calamitas, Anahita, and a phase-dependent Brimstone Elemental.
    
  • Fargo's Souls Mod: Mutant, Abominationn, and Deviantt.
  
  
• Precision Damage: Shots to the upper part of a humanoid enemy’s hitbox are considered headshots, dealing bonus damage.
  
  
• Satisfying Feedback: Every headshot is confirmed with a distinct sparkle and a sharp "tink" sound, so your aim always feels rewarding.
  
  
• Smarter Targeting: The logic intelligently distinguishes humanoids from beasts, excluding enemies like spiders or crabs while automatically supporting most humanoid enemies from other mods.
  
  
• Authored Design: Headshots are enabled only for weapons that reward aim: Ranged, Magic, and Summon projectiles, plus select aim-based melee weapons like Starfury, throwing knives, and boomerangs. Spammy swings are deliberately excluded.
  
  
• Broad Mod Support: Designed to be compatible with your mod list. Now includes full, hand-crafted support for major bosses from Calamity Mod and Fargo's Souls Mod, plus a toggle for the Rogue class.
  
  
• Fully Configurable: Adjust the damage multiplier, toggle headshots for summoners and bosses, and fine-tune balance through the in-game config menu.

The design goal is simple: precision should be rewarded.
Weapons that require careful aim can land headshots, while screen-filling spam cannot. This makes combat feel deliberate, skillful, and satisfying.
