Adds recipes to vanilla terraria!

http://youtube.com/Theray070696

Adds a few random things to Terraria.

All textures are WiP because I can't do texture work :(

All mobs with more than 50 health in normal mode (and 100 health in expert mode) have a very low chance of dropping an item that will give you one extra accessory slot!
This item can also be bought from an NPC during a Blood Moon. This NPC can move in at any time if there is housing available.

Each mechanical boss and the Moon Lord also drops an item that does the same as the above item, but each item can only be used once. (Expert Mode only)
Ie: You can use the one from random mobs only once, no more. But you can still you the one from each mechanical boss and the Moon Lord.

Also adds a Music Box with some good music ;)

Alongside that, a couple sounds are played on death. Just for fun!

Respawn time is also 4x shorter.

More to come in the future.

Choose a class at the start of the game, then gain stats and perks relevant to that class as you kill bosses. Check the homepage for details on each class.

Each class has an active ability, by default bound to 'Q'.

Why settle for the run of the mill magic mirror or ice mirror?

More mirrors adds two new types of mirrors, each with a unique effect.
Only with the radiation of a teleporter, can these mirrors be made.

Modding tool which provides a quick way to view dust and sound effects ingame. Craft books with dirt.
Dust: Scroll through listed dust types. Dust is displayed with a scale of 1 and a velocity of 5 in the respective directions. (!) represents dusts that emit light and (.) represents dust that glows or emits very faint light.
Sound: Change both sound effect type and style type. Sound is played at the your location.
See book tooltips for further instructions on use.

NOTE: As of tModLoader 0.9+, sounds are accessed via SoundID - names have been changed to reflect the names given there, where applicable.

Particle 43 - The Shiny Particle

Particle colour and scale appears to influence the intensity and colour of light emitted. The particle doesn't show unless at least one colour value is set to 255.
Initially spawns with light currently available on that tile, meaning it won't appear in darkness (like Mithril Armour's effects).
Usually used with Main.dust[dustIndex].fadeIn with a smaller inital scale, to due to lighting.

Gravity Enabled:
Doesn't slow down, ignores gravity.
Gravity Disabled:
Slows down and disappears faster.

Ever wanted to pilot an armed drone and take down your enemies from afar? Well, with this mod and an XBox 360 controller, you can. Plug in a XBOX 360 controller (or emulate a non-XBOX controller... visit this mods webpage for more info), craft the item 'Drone Controller' from Iron and Wire at a work bench, equip it to an accessory slot and your ready to take down enemies from afar.

Fore more fun, hand the controller to a friend and have them pilot the drone while you play like a Boss!

Craft the Drone Controller at a work bench from Iron/Lead and wire. Equip it to an accessory slot to spawn a drone. Pilot with the left stick and shoot with the right. Fire a grenaide with the right shoulder button and enter/exit autopilot mode with start.

NOTE: since the 1.3.1 update, this will only work if you have TWO controllers connected. Controller 1 is for playing Terraria normally and controller 2 controlls the drone.

HyperTerraria ( HyperT ) is an expansion-type mod that makes vanilla/modded terraria less tedious. Currently, I am working on post-moonlord content.
This mod doesn't change / add any new worldgen, so you can drop it safely in your modpack.
For those who played the legacy version of HyperT, note that the mod is being rebalanced as it is way too OP.

A Mod for those who think that lava should be more dangerous.

Now lava insta-kills you!

With this, you can press Caps Lock to swap the top row of your inventory with the second row, and you can double tap a number on your keyboard to swap one item in the corresponding item slot with the one below.
The key for swapping the whole row can now be set in Keybindings. If Caps Lock doesn't work, check that it is bound in keybindings first.
You can also toggle the option to swap an item with just a single button press by pressing O. With this enabled, you will need to click on the items in your hot bar or use your mouse wheel to select different items in your hotbar.

Have you ever wanted Dyes to be easier to craft?
No...? You only use Strange Dyes? OK then.
But I'll tell you what this mod does anyway!
-One dye ingredient now gives you 3 Dyes (e.g. 1 Red Husk = 3 Red Dye)
-When combining recipes, you now get the same amount of dye that you used in the recipe (e.g. 1 Yellow Dye + 1 Orange Dye + 1 Red Dye = 3 Flame Dye)
-Bright Flame, Intense Rainbow, Bright Silver and Lunar dye recipes are unchanged.
Hopefully now you'll at least give regular old dyes a chance!
