No Progression Guide Mods?

i was really curious about why i never have seen a progression mod for modded Terraria before?
i know that if you as the PLAYER, want to know what is the next item, accessory to get, you would need to either find out yourself or like 90% of players do, use the Online Guides for the different classes, even for big mods like Calamity or Thorium....so i wondered.

Why doesn't anyone make a Progression mod that can be an ingame progression List of items, armor, accessory's for an easier time instead of having a wiki pulled up? The one reason i could see it not being made as a mod would lower the use of the wiki?? is that bad? i dont personally know as im not a big BIG player for terraria, but i would have liked an easier progression guide ingame to know which next weapon, armor ect i should work for.

as a side note, i dont want to attack or disrespect anyone and i am sorry if it came off that way, i am just genuinely curious on if anyone would actually believe an ingame progression guide would be a good idea, or a bad one. hmm? <3 <3 have a wonderful day, and thank you for reading.

why do you want someone else to do every decision for you? Explore and experiment. You can install Boss Checklist for boss progression as a minimum

Because it's too much work

Basically, most normal Terraria players will actually open up the Terraria Progression Guide Wikipedia, so they can keep track of what is their next upgrades, of course they dont need to force themselves to get every single armor, weapon, accessory ect.
but it does tell them what is next, and of course you have the choice to get it or not, so because players do this as somewhat the norm [literally spoke to 8 of my friends, 7 of them do this, so i wondered if anyone would like the idea of a mod that basically grabs the progression guides into the game itself...tbh, it kinda would be stealing the progression guide and just implementing it inside the game as a mod.

its kinda like the Boss Checklist, so anyone and everyone knows which boss is next, the same can be said that nobody needs to install the boss progression, and just run around and figure it out yourselfs, but a majority of players dont do that <3

ty for your response btw <3

wiki trawling > curated progression guide

Manually transcribing everything if you want an itemized checklist, lack of automation means keeping up with Terraria updates, becomes irrelevant when using most popular mod, becomes considerably harder to maintain if you include mod progressions, steam overlay and an existing interactive webpage only have a single downside (internet connection)

though, first thought for something automated is a UI that shows bi-weekly screenshots of progression-related wiki tabs and let's you zoom, pan, draw over it & take notes. That's not quite an itemized list and you'd still need a program to take the screenshots, include them into the mod, and then update it, but the only maintenance is running a pc on time.

is that bad?

wiki(dot)gg is fine but fandom is corrupt and anything that hurts their ad revenue is good.

fnei(factorio), nei, tmi, jei(minecraft), recipe browser, cheat sheet, item checklist, and boss checklist all populate their lists automatically

i LOVE that idea, it would even be much easier on the mod developer, screenshots with the capability of zooming and unzooming, ect would be amazing, just shows you what is next, without having to do the entire items one by one <3 genius take <3 :)
