tModLoader for Windows

tModLoader is a multifunctional loader of modifications, maps and third-party content for Terraria, designed for those who have long dreamed of diluting the basic version of the sandbox with new worlds, biomes, bosses and items that facilitate the extraction of resources, crafting or interaction with NPCs …

In addition to the innovations of the game plan, the tModLoader developers from the TML Team allow you to add textures, lighting elements and auxiliary tools that can even erect virtual buildings in a couple of seconds. It’s time to choose the adventure path again …

Features of tModLoader

• Terraria styled interface: same fonts, menu items and details;
• Built-in directory with add-ons (Mod Browser) from where to download new content published by third-party developers and enthusiasts;
• A detailed description of each add-on, map or thematic update with information about innovations, activation methods (portals, transitions, modes) and application;
• Characters from Terraria and pre-generated worlds are incompatible with tModLoader: saves are separated on purpose – so there will be no problems with restoring content or accidentally losing information;
• A special section with specifications and documentation, designed for those who have long dreamed of becoming part of the community and developing a new modification personally.

Purpose and Tools

TModLoader is useful both for users who have decided to look beyond Lighting and Hardcore mode with unicorns, mechanical bosses and underground lizard temples, and for developers who want to implement their plans and share their personal ideas, new mechanics and content with the community. Regardless of the status, the menu provides both instructions for beginners and pop-up tips that guide you at every step. It is almost impossible to get confused, but users will have to understand much less – just look into the Mod Browser, scroll through the periodically updated list, read descriptions and download add-ons.

Developers cannot do without specifications, downloading templates and special tools, extensions and plugins. Next, you have to experiment directly with the content, and then carry out testing in case some things stop working during the launch or even Terraria closes with an error.

Updates, Access and Content

The tModLoader loader is distributed according to the Freeware model: the developers from TML TEAM offer not to worry about subscriptions or one-time payments. You only need access to the official version of Terraria, where you have to interact with modifications, view, catalog and run with the selected parameters. Without a sandbox at hand, there will only be a chance to generate new content without the ability to conduct appropriate testing, and at the same time post a new product on the community pages.

Updates for tModLoader are released regularly – the developers periodically fix technical issues as well (with recent patches, music has disappeared from the title menu – for unknown reasons, the background track had a strong performance impact!), And add support for third-party content, including textures, packs with interface localizations and warning kits reminding of incompatibilities between Terraria and tModLoader versions.
