Named Rarities

This mod adds item rarity names to all item tooltips.

Several mods already exist to add the rarity tier (as a number) to the tooltip; however, no mods exist which display a name for a rarity, as Terraria has no official naming scheme for its rarities other than the color used. This mod aims to change that.

You can choose from premade namesets, or create a completely custom nameset tailored to your liking.


Rarity names for Vanilla rarities are divided into pre-Plantera and post-Plantera name lists, which can be chosen independently.

Choose from any of the following name sets:

Choose from any of the following name sets:

The tooltip line indicating rarity can also have an additional single-word suffix which you choose from a list. The current list is:

• (no suffix)
  
• Quality
  
• Rarity
  
• Tier
  
• Rank
  
• Craftsmanship
  
• Grade

There is also an option to add the suffix with a hyphen instead of a space.

This could result in items being displayed as, for example, "Masterwork Quality", "Exceptional Craftsmanship" or "D-tier" depending on your choices.


Few mods add rarities to Terraria, but there it at least one notable mod that does.

Currently, one mod is officially supported by Named Rarities.


Rarity names for Calamity Mod item rarities are supported. The built-in nameset is as follows:

• Turquoise - Godly
  
• Pure Green - Ghastly
  
• Dark Blue - Cosmic
  
• Violet - Auric
  
• Hot Pink - Shadowspec
  
• Calamity Red - Calamitous
  
• Dark Orange - Draedonic

Custom names can also be assigned to each of these rarities through the mod config options.


Other mods are not currently supported out-of-the-box. Rarities that are unsupported will show the rarity as the source mod's name followed by the internal rarity name, such as "SomethingMod SkyBlue".

If you encounter such a display, you can quickly assign a custom name to it ingame by noting down the two values displayed (mod ID, rarity ID) and then using the mod config options screen to assign a custom name.

Any mod adding rarities through the tModLoader ModRarity system can be supported easily just by adding a translation string to this mod. For example, imagine a mod with ID "LimitlessMod" adds a gold-coloured rarity referred to as "Golden". By adding a translation string "Rarities.Modded.LimitlessMod.Golden" to this mod, a name can be given to that mod's rarity.

Comment if there's a mod you'd like to see supported!


Apart from the options already discussed, this mod offers a variety of display options which can be accessed through the ingame mod configuration:

• Choose whether rarity is displayed as a separate line in the tooltip, or as a suffix on the end of the item name in the toolip (item names outside of tooltips are not affected).
  
• Choose whether the numeric value of the rarity (the tier number) is also shown after the name.
  
• Choose whether the rarity line in the tooltip should be shown in white instead of the rarity's color.
  
• Choose whether White items should show as "Common" rarity, or show no rarity at all.
  
• By default, currency items do not show a tier, but this can be enabled.

Changes made to configuration ingame take effect immediately, no reloading required!


Full customisation of individual rarity names can be performed ingame by choosing "Mod Configuration" in the pause menu, then selecting "Named Rarities" and finally "Customized Nameset". Enter names for each rarity colour. Finally, press "Back" and then go into "Main Config", and there make sure to select the "Customized" nameset.

If you wish to customise rarity names and share that customisation with others, my current suggestion is to create a translation mod (acts like an addon for this mod) as explained here: https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/wiki/Contributing-Localization#contact-mod-developer-or-new-translation-mod

In your translation mod, edit the keys under Rarity.Vanilla.PrePlantera.Custom and Rarity.Vanilla.PostPlantera.Custom (and, if desired, edit anything under Rarity.Modded too). You can then publish that translation to the Workshop.

Others can load your custom name list by first subscribing to your mod; then in this mod, selecting "From A Mod" as the list to use.

Please don't just edit and reupload my mod, the translation system exists for a reason!
