Progression Tooltips

Enhance Your tModLoader Experience with Progression Tooltips

Navigating the vast world of tModLoader can be a rewarding, yet sometimes bewildering, journey. Players often encounter moments where they’re unsure which gear will best equip them for the next challenging boss, or discover powerful items only to realize they’re far beyond their current in-game progression. This is precisely where the Progression Tooltips mod shines, offering a streamlined and intuitive way to understand item accessibility.

Understanding Item Progression at a Glance

The core of the Progression Tooltips mod lies in its ability to visually indicate when an item becomes available within your tModLoader playthrough. By assigning each item to a specific progression tier, the mod provides instant feedback. When you hover over an item, its tooltip will dynamically change color. An orange-gold hue signals that the required progression tier has not yet been met, while a vibrant green indicates that you’ve reached or surpassed the necessary point in your game. This simple yet effective system eliminates the need to constantly consult external wikis, allowing you to focus on the adventure at hand.

How Progression Tooltips Works

This mod meticulously defines progression tiers based on the significance of in-game bosses. Factors such as whether a boss unlocks new ores, introduces unique NPC interactions, or opens up new crafting opportunities are considered when establishing these tiers. Each tier is assigned a numerical value to denote its position in the overall game progression. Items are then assigned to these tiers, with crafted items automatically inheriting the highest tier of their constituent materials. Crucially, the mod’s progression tier colors adapt to your world’s state; for instance, if Plantera has been defeated, any tier preceding it will display as green, regardless of whether earlier bosses have been vanquished. It’s important to note that this mod is purely visual and does not alter core gameplay mechanics.
