General Information tConfig is an exciting mod for Terraria which allows you to change the parameters of existing items, recipes, projectiles, NPCs, and a variety of other things, directly through configuration files. With it, you can also create many new items and monsters, too! Modding is very straightforward and does not require any programming knowledge to get started. Here are a variety of meta pages that might be worth checking out: Official thread on the forums Features FAQ Changelog / Todo List Wiki Changelog / Wiki Todo List If you want to support the development of tConfig, SurfPup encourages you to donate!

I have made a patcher to patch the decompiled code with all the changes in tConfig, for those that would like to take advantage of the features tConfig provides - it includes the ability to easily compile the server and rebuild the Installer whenever you recompile the game. .ini Attribute Reference Pages These pages list the attributes that may be used in .ini files to make changes. Their use should be pretty straight forward.
