C#, tModLoader, .NET 8

A client-side tModLoader mod for Terraria. It scans everything you own (inventory, equipment, every bank, nearby chests and Magic Storage), works out which upgrades are within reach and what you're missing, and tells you where to get it.

  • What's next. Gear upgrades are ranked by your class, progression tier and current loadout, sorted into Ready to craft, Almost ready and Building toward.
  • Where to go. An action plan groups everything to farm, buy, craft or trigger by location, so you make one trip instead of ten.
  • Goals. Pin any item for a HUD overlay with your progress.
  • Bosses. Boss order with summon hints, using Boss Checklist when it's installed.

It reads the game's live recipe and drop data, so it works with Calamity, Thorium and other content mods. Under the hood a depth-first resolver builds the cheapest crafting tree, using snapshot-and-rollback so a losing branch never spends materials another needs. CI builds and packages it against the official tModLoader release.
