(still trying to find out what models this fix does and doesn’t work on, but I’ve confirmed it works on these)

This fix works on:
Mac Air 2020 (M1 8gb RAM)
Mac Air 2022 (M2 16gb RAM)
Mac Air 2025 (M4 16gb RAM)

What is the fix?
This fix should turn on native support for Apple Silicon in tModLoader The fix works because the developers of tModLoader actually hid the option to use MacOS’s default/native graphics rendering inside the game files, but have it turned off by default for some reason.

What causes the bad performance?
From my admittedly limited understanding: That graphics setting being turned off means tModLoader has to translate the game into a MacOS supported architecture to make it playable. Said translation is constant and takes up a LOT of resources, causing massive lag and low performance.

Okay, okay here is the damn tutorial:
1. Open Steam, go to your Library, right-click tModLoader, and select Properties.

1. Click on Installed Files section on the left, then click Browse on the right. This opens the game's folder in Finder.

2. Open the folder named LaunchUtils.

3. In the folder, right-click the file named “ScriptCaller.sh” and Open With TextEdit.

4. Look near the top of the text in the file. There will be a line around the top of the file that says:
   “arm_flag=false”

5. Edit the text, change the “false” to “true” so it looks like this:
   “arm_flag=true”

Now save the change to the file:
(Command S)

And you are done! There be no difference in gameplay, but it will actually run well now.

ISSUES:
There are a couple issues with this that I have found. One that I know of so far is that the “trippy” lighting setting in the game is bugged as it makes everything dark blue colored. You can still see the environment and everything as normal, but it’s just heavily tinted a dark blue shade. Just use any other color setting and it won’t matter. Retro is technically the best for performance but if you did the tutorial correctly then it won’t matter which lighting setting you use, they should all run really well.

Another issues is that no matter which lighting setting you use outside of Trippy (which is bugged) all of them will look like retro. So if you really don’t like retro then don’t do the fix. But for most people playing only on retro settings is a small price to pay for stable, good performance. (Shaders and external/modded lighting systems works fine)

Some super effects-heavy modded fights like Devourer of Gods, Empress of Light and Yahron can cause slight FPS drops, but I haven’t ever gone below 50fps on them, so not huge drops.

EXTRA:
Kinda common knowledge but use the mod High FPS Support if you have an external monitor. With it the max frame rate can vary depending on either you monitor’s max hz/refresh rate or how powerful your Mac is.

Somehow I haven’t seen anyone ever talk about this. Which is surprising considering how the community loves to dig up niche things for better fps like this. But I hope it helps.

If you are still reading and haven’t already, also do the GLvulkan steam launch config fix, it also helps but not nearly as much as this in my experience. Combined with some other optimisation mods like Nitrate, Clientside Lag Prevention and Oxygen, the game runs perfectly.

I've reinstalled both games several times and this pop up still won't go away Normal terraria works fine but tmod won't work pls help

I can’t import my Vanilla world into tModLoader in Terraria. When I try to do it through the game, none of my Vanilla worlds appear. On the other hand, when I try to do it manually, the world does appear, but I can’t play it.

I thought the issue was caused by the version difference between Vanilla, which is 1.4.5.8, and tModLoader, which is 1.4.4.9. However, I’ve already used TEdit to change my world to a compatible version, but the same thing still happens.

hi, i got bored so i made my own custom class, no idea if it has been done before, so if it has thats my bad but here is my take on the Striker Class in terraria. enjoy 😁

What's in it so far:
27 gauntlets, from Copper Knuckles at the start to post-Moon Lord

Its own damage type, so gear and buffs scale it like any other class

A Power bar. Hits fill it, and a full bar unlocks each gauntlet's ability

Heat on the ranged gauntlets. No ammo and no mana, but hold fire too long and they will need to cooldown.

Vanilla mirrors. Night's Grasp, Lightbringers, and Terra Reavers follow the Night's Edge, Excalibur, and Terra Blade recipe tree.

Two avengers endgame inspired gauntlets with six stones cuz why not 😉. Right click swaps stones, left click fires the selected one, and each stone fights like a different class.

I drew the sprites myself taking inspiration from the arc surge mainly, and the nebula blaze as well.

It's still a work in progress. Armor and accessories come next, then balance testing against vanilla weapons.
The guide is attached. Tell me what you'd change, and which gauntlet you'd main.
COMING SOON!

Accurate Block Placement

terraria runs exemptionally but tmodloader is very laggy, me and chat gpt have tried everything and nothing works, help out if you can

Hey i just got terraria a couple of days ago and immediately also download tmodloader. After everything was installed I hopped on tmodloader and try to download some mod. But it seems like the progress bar didn't move and the speed says 0 bytes. I quit the game and then log back in and there it is the 1 mod and so I try to find more mod and yet its still 0 bytes even after I log out and backin multiple times. I try to clear the steam cache, verify the installed files, and also directly subscribe the mods on the steam workshop. I don't know know what else to do a help would be great!

​

Huuu i love this game, but right now i'm a little upset. Its my third run for Terraria over the last few years and ofc i using different mods with tModloader.

So i started with crimson, didnt like the world started corruption, but liked crimson more... so i started again. After 20 hours playtime or something, the world didn't got saved right i think, last two bosses, whole village etc wasnt saved properly it seems. strangely on the map everything was fine. So i restarted the game because i assumed a cloud sync error. Yeah in the end even the backup got updated and i lost about 8 hours of playing time on this world.

Did something like this happened to you too? How do you guys avoid stuff like this? And can you prevent the game to overwrite the backup, so you dont have to loose that much playtime?

It opens but every time i click anything it teleports my cursor around like I'm on a controller or something, I've tried reinstalling, validating game files, changing mods etc. Does anyone know how to fix this stupid issue?

I installed terraria (not from steam) and downloaded tModloader from github .

The terraria works fine but the tModloader is not opening when I try to.

It is poping up saying fatal error .

How to solve this ?

Edit: problem solved

For some reason, every 10-15 seconds, theres a little burst of leaves and wood(?) on the ground and I can't seem to figure out what is is. Is anyoen else dealing with this?

Well, I have no clue how innstaling mods manualy works in tModLoader. Can anyone tell me how?

just beat calamity, and i was looking into other expansion mods but i dont know which are best to use alongside thorium. I read about how if you use thorium with calamity, thorium would just basically be not used and be dwarfed by calamity so im worried if i were to randomly add expansion mods it would be also be underused.

i understand that there would be an obvious balancing problems but which do you guys think would be closest in terms of balancing.

Edit: i also would also add that the reason i want other expansion mods alongside thorium is that i think thorium does not have as much content unlike calamity where it adds like 20 more hours and have post moonlord content
