Enhance Your tModLoader Experience with Compare Item Stats
Navigating the vast array of items within tModLoader can be a daunting task, especially when trying to determine the best gear for your character. Understanding the subtle differences between weapons, armor, and accessories is crucial for optimizing your gameplay. Fortunately, the Compare Item Stats mod offers a streamlined solution, providing clear, on-demand comparisons of item statistics directly within the game.
Effortless Item Evaluation
The Compare Item Stats mod is a client-side utility designed to make understanding item advantages incredibly simple. Instead of meticulously cross-referencing tooltips, this mod allows you to instantly see how a hovered-over item stacks up against your currently selected item. This means no more guesswork when deciding between two similar pieces of equipment. For armors and wings, the mod intelligently compares against your currently equipped gear if the selected item isn’t of the same type, ensuring you always know your best available option.
Comprehensive Stat Tracking
This mod supports the comparison of a wide range of essential item statistics, giving you a holistic view of an item’s potential. Whether you’re focused on raw power, combat effectiveness, or utility, Compare Item Stats has you covered. Key statistics tracked include:
- Damage Output
- Critical Hit Chance
- Attack Speed
- Knockback
- Fishing and Bait Power
- Specialized fishing capabilities (e.g., Fish in Lava, Catch Lava Critters)
- Tool effectiveness (Pickaxe, Axe, Hammer Power)
- Mana and Life Restoration
- Mana Consumption
- Autoswing functionality
- Tool Range
- Item Class
- Wing flight duration and speed
- Defense Rating
- Life Regeneration Rate
Flexible Display Options
Compare Item Stats offers multiple ways to view the information, catering to your preferred playstyle. By default, you can trigger the comparison by holding the “Auto Select” key. Alternatively, a dedicated “Stat Comparison” keybind can be configured for quick access. For those who prefer a constant overview, the mod can be set to display comparisons permanently through its configuration menu. Gamepad users will find the necessary keybind options within the Gamepad/UI settings.
While the mod strives for comprehensive stat tracking, it’s important to note that certain complex modifiers, particularly those affecting accessory or armor bonuses like ammo percentage or buff durations, may not be fully represented due to technical limitations in fetching that specific data. The developer is actively exploring ways to implement these in future updates. The mod also benefits from community contributions for localization, with support for multiple languages already integrated.
