The Calamity Modpack – A Balanced, Immersive Terraria Experience​

Are you tired of downloading modpacks only to find unbalanced gear, overwhelming content, or broken mechanics? Or perhaps you've spent hours crafting your own modpack, just for it to feel poorly executed? Introducing The Calamity Modpack, a carefully curated and balanced large-content modpack designed to deliver a seamless, immersive, and engaging Terraria experience.

What is The Calamity Modpack?​

This modpack combines the best of Calamity Mod, Spirit Mod, and other Calamity addons like Calamity's Entropy and Clamity Addons, with my own custom mod, The Calamity Modpack: Addons. It introduces:

• New Content: Talismans, Quests, Races, Classes, and Origins to enrich gameplay.
• Custom Mechanics: Recipe changes and balance tweaks to ensure compatibility and fairness across mods.
• Immersive World Generation: Beautiful biomes and structures from mods like Spirit Mod and Remnants.
• Custom Textures and Configurability: Everything is adjustable via config files to suit your preferences.
• Vanilla-Friendly Features:
  • A built-in recipe browser integrated into the Guide NPC for a seamless, non-intrusive experience.
  • A storage manager from Quality of Terraria that links to in-world chests, avoiding the "cheaty" feel of mods like Magic Storage (not included by default).
  • Easy Installation: The modpack is pre-configured to work out of the box, so you can jump right into playing without hours of setup.

The modpack avoids mechanics that break immersion, prioritizing a sandbox experience that feels rewarding without feeling like cheating. To support this, I've created a dedicated wiki to guide players through progression, materials, and more, ensuring you’re never left confused or lost.

Why This Modpack?​

The goal is to provide a well-balanced, large-content modpack that feels as polished and cohesive as vanilla Terraria, while being accessible for players of all skill levels. Key features include:

• Balanced Gameplay: Expert Mode (or higher) is recommended, with Revengeance and Death Modes disabled for compatibility with other mods.
• Immersion First: No default inclusion of mods like Recipe Browser or Magic Storage to maintain a vanilla-like feel, though you can enable them if desired.
• Comprehensive Wiki: A work-in-progress resource detailing progression, materials, and more to make starting the modpack as smooth as possible, especially for beginners.

Current Status: Early Alpha​

The modpack is in early alpha and has been primarily developed by me, with the wiki also being a solo effort so far. I’m new to modding, so please bear with me as I learn and improve! There’s still work to be done:

• Balance Tweaks: Ongoing adjustments to ensure a fair and fun experience.
• Wiki Completion: Guides, class setups, and progression details are still being fleshed out.
• Bug Fixes: Some issues can only be discovered through playtesting.

For now, players can use the Materials page on the wiki (sorted by progression) alongside the in-game recipe browser or mods like Quite Enough Recipes to navigate progression.

Call for Playtesters and Contributors​

I need playtesters to help identify bugs, balance issues, and refine class setups for the wiki. Playtesting is crucial to ensure the modpack feels polished and complete. If you’re interested in:

• Testing the modpack and providing feedback.
• Helping with class setup guides or other wiki content.
• Contributing in any other way (e.g., balance suggestions, textures, etc.).

Please reach out! You can contact me on Discord: m4tata or the discord server here. No modding experience is required to help out, and I’d love to hear from players of all skill levels.

How to Get Started​

1. Download the modpack (link TBD, pending alpha release).
2. Install it easily with everything pre-configured for immediate play.
3. Check the wiki for setup instructions, progression guides, and material lists.
4. Play on Expert Mode or higher (Revengeance/Death Mode off) for the intended experience.
5. Share your feedback to help shape the modpack’s future!

Final Words​

The Calamity Modpack: Addons is a passion project aimed at delivering a balanced, immersive, and content-rich Terraria experience that’s easy to jump into. As a beginner modder, I’m learning as I go, and I don’t have all the answers yet, but I’m committed to making this modpack the best it can be with community support. If this sounds like your kind of modpack, join me in shaping its future!

Let me know what you think, and I hope to see you in the Discord!​

I'm interested in playtesting, but one thing:
The discord invite is expired.
Edit: I looked at the wiki, and Cal overhaul? I really don't like that mod, and it can brick characters and worlds, along with having stolen code, so maybe not.
