So, in this API you can connect .json and .cs? Looks conveniently.
It's only C#

Forgot to mention, when i did that it didn't work, steam didn't let me start it and i couldn't start it from the application
What does it say?
I managed to get the .dll files and it does actually build my mod now. But now there's some new errors, not my code:
Giving it a capital (Recipe) gives these errors:

Post some source if you need help, but it seems like you didn´t use the Recipe method right.
ModRecipe recipe = new ModRecipe(this);
recipe.AddIngredient(ItemID.DirtBlock);
recipe.SetResult(ItemID.LifeCrystal, 15);
recipe.AddRecipe();
Oooh, I forgot ModRecipe recipe = new ModRecipe(this);
Guess what happened when I added that... RUNTIME ERROR.
Check the picture.
The given key was not present in the dictionary.

Sorry this is the first time I've attempted modding Terraria. I just copied his 'tutorial'.. And it gives me these errors.
I have an image for the sword, but not exactly sure where to put it.
I can get recipe to work with existing items but not custom items.. they won't show up when crafting.. but custom recipe for existing items do.
Nevermind I got it to work now, I guess I messed up somehow.
Woah everyone replied while I was sleeping
For the texture problem, it looks like you've already got it fixed but I'll say it here for everyone else: when you call GetTexture you're essentially passing in the path of the texture as a parameter, starting with the mod's directory and not including the extension. For example, the ExampleMod folder contained all the files in the temporary tutorial, and it also had a folder called Items, which contained ExampleSword.png. So I used "ExampleMod/Items/ExampleSword".
Sure, there isn't anything stopping you from making one.
For now, you can look at the documentation and see which methods are virtual or abstract. Abstract methods must be overridden, and virtual methods can be overridden if you want to.
For the dll problem, I have it fixed so that it automatically finds the right directories for you in the next version.

So I'm trying to create my own 'soul' as an item.. but it gives me this error.
My code for GetTexture is valid.. I'm trying .gif it gave me an error.. I tried .png and it gives me an error still..
Now it is simply giving me this:
c:\Users\Daniel\Documents\My Games\Terraria\ModLoader\Mod Sources\ItemOverhaulOverpower\Items\SoulOfPower.cs(17,8) : error CS1061: 'Terraria.Item' does not contain a definition for 'GetTexture' and no extension method 'GetTexture' accepting a first argument of type 'Terraria.Item' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
My cs file is there.. I checked code and thats all ok.
'item.GetTexture = "ItemOverhaulOverpower/Items/SoulOfPower";'
(SoulOfPower.gif)
Whoops, I forgot, the GetTexture method isn't actually needed for assigning textures to items. You can give items a texture by passing in the texture name as the third parameter of AddItem, since I call GetTexture for you with that. The GetTexture method is mostly for if people want to do their own custom drawing (for example, skeletron's arms). Also, gif files currently aren't supported by this mod.
I haven't looked into how souls animate yet; I will do that before the next update though.
Please work on gifs. Hehe. I'm working on a mod that allows the player to 'empower' items with souls. So basically if you already have a HM character you can give pre HM gear a boost. This is just an idea I think it is quite fun. Basically a sort of 'enchanthing'
Oh ok, now i get it.
In the Documentation is everything that exist, i thought you could make custom enemys atm ^^
