https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/intrinsics.80322/

Allows binding items permanently to players without consuming inventory or equipment slots (by way of API, commands, or the Impartment Contract item). Bound items will always be in effect for the player. Configurable.

To acquire Impartment Contracts, you must find the Wandering Ghost NPC. He rarely spawns in the underground, and will accept rare item trades for Contract Tatters. You can craft 3 tatters into 1 Blank Contract, and then drag and drop an item onto it to craft an Impartment Contact, which may be used freely.

https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/destructible-tiles.79929/

Tiles can now be destroyed with direct hits from projectiles. Configurable.

https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/uncluttered-projectiles-reduced-on-screen-visual-effect-spam-during-fights.79700/

Uncluttered Projectiles reduces the visibility clutter of any player's projectiles and dusts near the current player and bosses.

https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/pvp-project-making-pvp-great-again.78948/

Adds a display of player game statistics (via. hotkey or UI control panel). Player teams, PvP kills, deaths, latency, and relative progress are all shown and kept up to date in this display.

Forces pets to follow closer to the player, even while traveling at high speeds.

https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/one-way-no-backtracking-simple-mod.76920/

Restricts your movement to a single direction at all times (locks the screen while backtracking).

https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/powerful-magic.76709/

Magic attacks are now 3x as powerful, but use 2.5x as much mana. Also, mana restoring items and natural regeneration only recover 1/5 as much. Mana Potions are also less available, and Mana Sickness above 3 seconds will lock down magic use. Configurable.

This mod is for anyone interested in a shakeup to mage playthroughs, or a fun twist to game modes. It gives magic a clear role for use as power attacks, which also works to compliment regular attacks. In this way, magic doesn't simply become relegated to its dedicated class to gather dust when other classes are being focused upon.

NEW (v1.5): Focus mode. Right-click while holding a magic weapon now recharges your mana faster, but at the cost of movement speed.

https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/starvation-having-no-well-fed-buff-causes-harm-simple-mod.76710/

Players now lose health if they do not have the Well Fed buff active. This buff now expires 4x as quickly as normal, increasing in rate proportion to your max health. Configurable.

NEW! (as of v1.3): Food spoilage is now an option in the config settings. Set `"FoodSpoilageEnabled": true` to enable. IMPORTANT: Due to a limitation with tModLoader, ALL food items are restricted to stacks of 1 with this. All existing food stacks will be permanently unstackable (but retain their quantity). You have been warned.

NEW! (as of v1.4): Added Unlife Crystals. Reduces max hp by 20. Returns a Life Crystal on use.

https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/extensible-inventory-limitless-paginated-inventory.72024/

Implements an extensible, paginated inventory for players, able to be scaled endlessly.

New (v1.5.2): Now includes a hotkey to create a new page just after the current page.

https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/encumbrance-inventory-use-burdens-your-movement.71971/

Carrying items past your player's hotbar is now a burden to movement. Jumping, attacking, grappling, or mounting in such conditions may cause your items to randomly drop. Additionally, movement will become increasingly sluggish with more item slots in use. Other configurable effects can be applied. Carrying capacity can also be configured.

https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/better-paint-make-the-world-your-canvas.69884/

NOTE: MOD NOT MULTIPLAYER COMPATIBLE YET.

Improves the paint function of the game by adding a spray applicator, letting you paint with smooth, fast, full-RGB color across your world. Configurable.

https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/licenses-unlock-items-as-you-progress.69438/

Items require licenses to be used. Licenses are acquired with game progression (purchased via. Rewards points). Configurable.

Note: This mod fully overrides default Rewards and Nihilism settings.


Mod recommendations:
TheLunatic = Puts a time squeeze on licensing decision making.
Durability = Further adds choice-of-use budgeting decisions for available items.
