Hey there, gang! It's me, Yuyutsu/PhoenixBlade, back from the dead! I know it's been a long while since I've hung around the Terraria forums, but I come back bearing a new mod:
Critter Craze
(Yes, I know it sounds like another mod of mine, Loot Craze, but I'm running out of alliterations here)
Now, what does this mod aim to do? Well, similarly to another mod, the Wildlife Mod (which I recommend you check out), this mod aims to brighten up an otherwise barren Terraria with multiple critters and small, friendly animals, along with plants. The mod currently adds:
- 43 Critters
- 106 Items
- 19 Critter Habitats
- 4 New Plants
Before we jump in to the specifics of the mod, I just want to say that the mod is hugely influenced by community ideas and suggestions! If you're interested in suggesting items and bouncing ideas around, please check out our Discord or suggest any new critters or items here! Let's jump right into the current content, though.
Important Note! No critter spawns should interfere with regular enemy spawns, as they do not count toward the enemy slot total.
Fish! Though a lot of fish exist in Terraria, only a few can be found fishing around the world. Let's change that.
Ocean:
Kelpfish- Found swimming in schools in the ocean.
Coralfish- Found swimming in schools in the ocean.
Gulper- A jumpy little fish found in the ocean.
Luminous Floater- A glowing jellyfish found swimming in schools in the ocean at nighttime.
Gilded Jelly- A rare jellyfish. Drops a large amount of gold.
Underground:
Lanternfish- A glowing blue fish found in Caverns.
Ardorfish- A beautiful fish found in the Cavern Layer and below.
Gusts! Tiny little fellas found roaming around the world during weather events. Upon being caught, Gusts can create double jump accessories (Cloud/Tsunami/Storm/Sandstorm in a bottle)
Gust: A regular little gust. Found in the Sky Biome.
Snowy Gust: Found in the Snow Biome during rain.
Stormy Gust: Found anywhere except the Snow Biome during rain.
Sandy Gust: Found in deserts during Sandstorm events.
New fish have been introduced, but they're actually familiar faces! Certain vanilla fish caught while swimming can now be found swimming around your world! They can all be caught with a bug net. The following fish are available in their respective biomes:
- Ebonkoi (Corruption)
- Crimson Tigefish (Crimson)
- Neon Tetra (Jungle)
- Armored Cavefish (Underground)
- Golden Carp (Underground)
- Specular Fish (Underground)
- Atlantic Cod (Snow)
- Damselfish (Sky)
- Prismite (Hallow)
New Tiny Slimes, little slime critters that spawn occasionally upon killing larger slimes! All are catchable with a bug net. The following slimes have tiny variants:
- Green Slime
- Blue Slime
- Ice Slime
- Sand Slime
- Rainbow Slime
Moths: The nocturnal counterpart to butterflies. All moths are found at nighttime, around the homes of players and near NPCs, when the player is safe.
Luna Moth- An uncommon moth. Can be used as bait.
Jewel Moth- A rare moth. Can be used as bait.
Grey Moth- A common moth. Can be used as bait.
Gold Moth- A very rare moth. Can be used as bait.
Other Critters: Found scattered around the world.
Cleft Hopper- Crawls along the floor and walls. Found in the underground desert.
Lumoth- Casts a faint light. Found underground.
Ignome- A bright, energetic critter. Found in the Lihzahrd Temple.
Crimson Cluck- A brightly colored little bird. Found in the Jungle, aboveground.
Crismite- A quick little bug. Found only by smashing Crystal Shards while in the Underground Hallow.
Lost UFO- A little saucer. Found Post-Plantera in the Sky Biome.
Blossmoon- A calming, flowery critter. Emits the 'Calm' debuff to players nearby, reducing enemy spawns. Found at nighttime.
Dusty Lizard- Found in the Desert Biome aboveground. Can be used as bait.
Seafood! Yum!
Raw Fish- Dropped upon killing most modded fish. Can be eaten, but maybe you should cook it first.
Fish Sticks- Grants the 'Well Fed' buff. Crafted with Raw Fish.
Seaweed Roll- Grants the 'Well' Fed' buff, but also 'Gills' for a short time. Crafted with Raw Fish and Kelp.
Fish Kebab- Grants the 'Well Fed' buff, but also 'Invisibility' for a short time. Crafted with Raw Fish and a Ghost Reed.

Fish Pop- Grants the 'Well Fed' buff, but also 'Ironskin' for a short time. Crafted with Raw Fish and a Cryovine.
- Banners! Though Vanilla Terraria only adds a few banners for critters, this mod adds banners for all modded critters(barring the golden critters from earlier). There are 26 banners to collect!
- New 'furniture' has been added.
Zenblossoms- flowers that ward off enemies!
Dreamcatchers -Craftable with crimson feathers, feathers, wood, and more. They protect nearby players from the 'Darkness,' and 'Silenced' debuffs!
Plants and Potions! All plants are found upon creating a new world.
Cryovine- Found glowing in the Underground Ice biome.
Death Cap- Found scattered across the Underground and Cavern layers.
Ghost Reed- Found around the world in pools of water. Can only be harvested at nighttime.
Kelp- Found by harvesting Ghost Reeds while in the Ocean Biome.

Alchemical Brew- Attacks may inflict a powerful toxin on foes, but the player is occasionally poisoned themselves, especially after being hurt. Crafted with Death Cap and Deathweed.
Apparation Brew- Turns the drinker into a ghost. Ghosts are immune to damage and gain movement speed, but cannot regenerate life or use items for a short time.
- A new crate has been added: the Packing Crate! Packing Crates can be fished out in the ocean rarely or can be found floating around the ocean! Packing Crates contain different types of fish, used in food, potions, and more. Different fish are found in hardmode.
