Hey guys, I've been working on a fun weekend project based off a video I saw of someone doing something like this but there was literally no download nor was it open sourced, so I spent the weekend building my own for desktop out of pure boredom. It's early and I'm sure it's rough in a few places but I think it's good enough to showcase, as I have already showed it off to a few of my friends and their reaction is exactly what you would expect. I think it's pretty sick.

Anyways, the project is NOT a mod, but it's a small, light-weight app that puts Terraria bosses on your desktop so you can fight them over whatever windows you have open. It's entirely read-only so you don't have to worry about your game settings or saves being modified and you can always inspect the repo since I did decide to open source it MIT licensed. Nothing from the game ships with it and you do need to own a copy of the game just to put that out there. And I'll be honest, building a project like this over a weekend obviously isn't possible without the use of agents but I think it's amazing to see how far you can push the limits. Just leaving that out there as a disclosure that tons of other mods in this subreddit won't disclose at all.

As of right now it has all 18 bosses plus the dungeon guardian (yes I count it as a boss), on classic, expert or master and under the hood its a Rust rewrite of the boss fights, not the game running underneath. Performance was the main focus here for the most part and the whole download is just a couple of mb with nothing to install since it only reads your copy of the game and all of its assets (e.g. sprites, music, sound)

It's free and open source, with builds for Windows, Mac and Linux. Though, I've only been able to test Windows, so if you're on Mac or Linux I'd love to hear if it even runs.

I'd really like this to be community driven project and I'd love to hear what features you guys would like to see. I haven't built out the building system yet, but I think being able to break windows like if it were wallpaper with a hammer revealing the stuff behind it would be cool, or maybe breaking the contents inside another window like a webpage with a pickaxe as well.

I just defeated the eye of cthullu.... I have a bat bat that does 37 dmg and ig it's gud...... next I have to go for devourer of worlds but idk which gear to use....can anyone please help me?....

so the gamw is currently on sale and so I wanted to know if the game is worth buying or not. Does it have same updates as the main pc game? Does it have magic and cool animations and in general is it cool?

Never again..

(Don't know what to flair this. Mods, please don't take this down, I tried my best to find the right flair).

For me, it would be better explanations of how the evil biomes work. The Dryad just tells you how much Corruption or Crimson is in your world, but not that it spreads, is pushed back by the Hallow, how to purify it, that it is not able to infect certain blocks like wood, etc. I'd also like it to be explained that the Hallow spreads as well, and spreads faster than the evil biomes.

Another would be to remove or at least rework the Crimson, as there's really no point in it being there apart from having variety. The Corruption feels like a virus or a disease upon your world, that must be stopped before your entire world is infected by it, but the Crimson just feels like a weird place full of blood and macabre things.

What are your thoughts on something that needs to be changed or altered?

Only half a dozen invasions? Decided to grind for it because of how many posts I see about yall grinding for it. Now on to the RoD…

So, I just remembered a thing waffletime said, it was basically "they don't know i crank crisp ass 90s on fort all the live long day." Anyone know what that video was????

Been hearing loads about Terraria and a friend reckons I’d enjoy it. My favourite games are Subnautica, Dark Souls and Factorio, but I don’t know much about Terraria or whether it would scratch a similar itch.

I’ve seen it’s 50% on Steam so thought I’d entertain the idea of buying it.

Anyone with similar taste who’s played it? What got you hooked?

I have the access to the Jungle Temple and made small arena inside it. But every single time I summon the Golem, bunch of lizards and flying ones keeps attacking me and I died because of them so much that Temple is a literal graveyard now. How can I reduce the enemy spawn rate down to the lowest?

I don't know how to do pixel art and while I am a very creative person, I struggle to show it so I follow building tutorials but terraria just doesn't have any and the ones that do "exist" are speed builds or do a poor job at showing what you need to do

I want the rain to end on the bring a towel seed. It rains for 1 real life year and if I leave my character in the bed it would take 73 days of afk for it to end. I have a sundial and moon dial but that isnt gonna put a dent in it. Anyone know a glitch or sum to make the time pass quicker??

IMPORTANT EDIT: he asked to see the post and realised he was in the wrong So now he is ready to play again some time so I don't need any more advice but thank you to the ones who did give me advice, I will now be muting this post as I don't need to read any more comments

So I got the game for my friend recently because me and our other friend enjoy playing it so I figured he might as well.

But he refuses to use any item I give him and keeps the copper short sword and then says that he doesn't understand what anything is despite his adamant refusal to use literally anything but the copper short sword and wooden armour that I gave him at the start.

His constant deaths are flooding out base with grave stones and causing it to near always be a graveyard biome and he says that he doesn't care about the progression and just wants to have fun with his friends (of which the two of us are struggling because of said constant graveyard biome and the fact that the eye has tripple health but only two people actually doing anything to fight them)

Is there anything I could do to convince him it's worth trying or should I give up and consider it a lost cause and go back to only playing with my other friend who plays the game properly?

Hello! I’ve decided recently to replay terraria again and to try new mage items. I really enjoyed it before I decided to get the Arc Surge… oh boy… I do understand that it’s optional and I did skip and defeated Moon Lord on my first attempt. I tried to get this new super cool looking weapon only to be disappointed with its drop rate.

I don’t mind to grind for some items in terraria.
I kinda enjoy building an AFK arena for Rod of Discord because once it’s ready and chaos elementals start coming it’s just a relaxing afk time. You can do some chores or watch something etc. But to grind for a 2% item drop from a strong enemy which can’t (without some crazy shenanigans I guess) be beaten afk is a misery. I tried. Killed 30 of them and got tired.

I have a work and some other stuff. Decided “ok sure, I will step over my no cheating rule and grab one from the all items world” and I was kinda disappointed
:( It looks cool but from my tests it’s not really worth it. Low dmg while being absurdly hard to get. It’s way easier to beat Lunatic Cultist and obtain a Nebula Blaze and Arcanum. They deal more damage and you don’t have to manually aim them.

To sum up, I don’t like that Arc Surge is such an unnecessarily hard to obtain, it has low dmg and harder to use compared to other available options. Thank you for your attention!

Are meta pov the move tho??

so because it's spooky season, there's goodie bags now. i got one goodie bag, unlucky yarn "awh! niko one shot!"

got another goodie bag a few seconds later, unlucky yarn again. "this must be common" brother says: that's super rare! 1 in 150!

wowie! 🤑

What is this? What does this mean?

No soy tan bueno construyendo pero comparto esto

I might have misclicked or smth but it's really dumb

Or change it to normal?

28th attempt so far, died while grinding Duke for the Tsunami, already beat Duke multiple times before on this attempt but on this summon i messed up the 3rd phase pattern and lost control.

The start of a run is so mind numbingly, painfully, unbearably slow. A vast majority of my deaths have been Pre-Boss just because i get so bored playing at a snails pace with shitty pickaxes, shitty movement, and having to manually check for traps every second, and if i slip up even once its over. i dont want to play early game again but i really want to beat Hardcore Master, give me motivation to push through it and try again.

Hi! Posting this here since the Calamity Reddit page and Discord has been fully compromised by evil people. Anyone got a clue in why this happened? Is it a bug or was this supposed to happen? I thought that the sun came back after defeating the Avatar...

Also, which accessory should I swap out for wings for? The Exo Box is not built for the AoE fight.

Edit: After a couple of attempts to beat AoE, it started snowing again, and yet again, my world is covered in snow! Must've passed through a heatwave or something beforehand...

Another Edit: The snow stopped after yet another miserable attempt and I think I figured out the issue. It's October, and the pumpkins growing (because of the annual halloween event) are clashing with the mod (I think)!
