Mod Ideas?

[Ocramulicous]

Hey another mod you can make is a tornado. There can be a small chance of this happening in the desert.
[doublepost=1460579746,1460579604][/doublepost]The tornado could throw you in the air including enemies, and/or maybe the tornado can shuffle blocks around.

it might cause a little problems for anybody building in a desert though

I would love a mod that adds alternate crafting recipes for fishing potions. I could help with recipe ideas.

Since I can't put spoilers on my profile, I will put the list here

My Mod Ideas focuses on making Terraria life easier by adding Technology to do repetitive work for you.
The Ideas, if made reality, will add lots of things to your terraria world to help with boring tasks for higher level players.

The main items in the mod are Drones, Robots, and Turrets.

I'm kinda sorry but I don't think you understand how much dedication is require to make mod. Have you ever worked with an API ? Have you ever done Coding. Its not that simple you know :O
I mean, I'm actually a programmer and I tried to learn the terraria API but when I saw it I was like, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NOPE. Its not like just clicking, add mob, setup the hp, atk, defense and texture ... It's way more advance than that. Anyway, if you actually choose to make some, good luck but most of the time it require a team.

Terraria scripting is easy

 

[Eldrazi]

Terraria scripting is easy

That really totally depends on what you're making to be honest.
If you're just creating a generic sword, then sure; it's easy. If you're creating a Magic staff that fires a bolt which briefly slows down NPC movement in an AoE, you're not talking about easy anymore.
I'm not trying to contradict your statement; just laying down my opinion.

P.S.
Since Terraria makes use of C# as language, it's called programming; not scripting. Scripting languages are quite a bit different from programming languages

[Nupplets O' Love]

well... i have an idea for a post-moon lord new npc

i have no ideas for a name so please give me some ideas! also any time i write ----- that is just where i'd put the name

this is its looks (you can open it in paint or something to see it more clearly) btw whoever creates this mod has permission to change the sprite

The ----- will move in once the following criteria are met:

a empty house is present
a player has defeated the moon lord at least four times
a player is wearing a full set of luminite armor (i.e stardust armor, vortex armor ect.)

----- will defend himself/herself with the celebration

NOTES
please note that all prices can be changed, i'm not 100% sure on them.
also the treasure bags he/she sells are 10 gold on expert mode
*must have defeated at least once

new biome/boss

so... the crimson is themed off of cthulhu's guts and blood. the corruption is themed off of
his intestine and kinda his soul... but where's his bones!?!

the skeletoll biome is made out of his bones. the sprite for all the blocks are... you know... boney

the generation of the crimson is a deep zig-zagging tunnel to a giant open area where you smash crimson hearts and fight the brain of cthulhu.

the generation of the corruption is a bunch of straight holes down to a horizontal cave where you smash shadow orbs and fight the eater of worlds.

the generation of the skeletoll biome is a 4-10 block hole down to a 8-20 block circular cave where you smash joints and fight a boss that i don't know yet.

so yeah that's the idea
[doublepost=1537760360,1537760337][/doublepost]this one's simple but i think that it should happen:

the moon lord should drop the stardust dragon staff and you can craft the lunar portal staff.

just because i find it very annoying that the moon lord just drops sentries.

you should just buff the stardust dragon staff a little and nerf the lunar portal staff a little.
[doublepost=1537760375][/doublepost]i would loooooooooooooove it so much if there was a mod that made it so the corruption/crimson would not spread.
i like that the wall of flesh makes that V shape of the evil biome but i just wish you wouldn't have to worry about it so much, it's just annoying.

i think that the hallow should still spread but at a MUCH slower pace.
[doublepost=1537760827][/doublepost]my cousin had an idea a while back of a corrupt and crimson charger (similar to the antlion charger) it would be slightly stronger version.
here is the art:

[doublepost=1537761009][/doublepost]also... could there be a hardmode enemy called the acid slime?

i have a few sprite ideas, i don't think there very good.

[doublepost=1537761345][/doublepost]i think an pegasus as an enemy would be epic.
i tried making a sprite but it was horrific.

 

[White Wolf]

npc architect that has his own crew and we'll make a village for you paying them with gold make a freestyle Building without any build limit and give it to them as a blueprint and over time they will make it for you the price will be higher if you do not give them supplies to build with and they can make their own random structures if you want any resources they dig up like dirt Stone iron will be put in a chest waiting for you so say if you have a building that has a basement built in they will store the items they dig up for you it will show you a outline of your building when you so you can go adventuring and town housing will be made for you overtime any player place blocks will be deleted if it is in the build area

 

[The Word and The Truth]

Make a mod with roman/greek gods as bosses and enemies and biomes relating to them.
