Last May, Terraria, the popular action-adventure game from developer Re-Logic, was the last major update. The update added a lot of new content to the game for players, but most importantly, it officially added the ability to add texture packs to the game and allows players to access their packs from the main menu.
Texture packs are complementary files, usually created by players, that alter the appearance of some or all of the game's content and sprites. This could be weapons, enemies, furniture, NPCs, you call him. They aim to allow the player to modify the game however they want, and even change the whole art direction while they are playing.
You can check which texture packs are available to try out right now on the Terraria Forums Texture Pack site, but we know there are a lot of packs to browse. To help you with that process, here we have a list of our five best texture packs that you can use in Terraria 1.4 right now!
This texture pack is large, yet simple.
The purpose of this pack is to simply present a better experience for the player, by modifying and improving almost all the sprites and textures in the base game and making it look better. It just gives the game a higher overall quality in terms of looks.
This texture pack has been around since before Update 1.4, but it remains a popular choice among gamers. This is due to the tremendous work the pack has done to improve the look of the game, including updating over 300 sprites, improving the game's UI, and more.
Another pretty simple pack that you can add to the game, and this one is designed to give you the experience of the original game.
Mods and packs are a lot of fun but they can often drastically change the experience of playing a game. Sometimes we just want to experience the base game as it is. Like the Spectacle Pack, the PRIME Pack is designed to improve the base game. While the Spectacle Pack has changes that alter the feel of the game, the PRIME Pack aims to keep that same feel while improving the look of the game.
The pack really gives the vanilla game a great look that still maintains the spirit of the base game.
If you can't tell right now, we're all talking about simple packs that just make the base game a better experience, and this pack is no different.
As the developer notes, what started out as a simple change to the colors of the game has turned into a broader overhaul of the game's appearance. The pack takes the original, dreary color of the sky and adds more variation of color, which gives more depth than before and gives the game a much more dynamic feel during the day.
The pack also gives more detail to the sun, refines the look of water, and gives a more dynamic and detailed look to many of the game's backgrounds.
This pack not only changes the appearance of the environments, but also makes some adjustments to the HUD.
When you install the pack, you can clearly see some big changes in the health and mana bars, which look really cool. It also gives the game a more rustic feel, altering the appearance of biomes and blocks. It completely changes the look of the game and is a really fun way to experience the way you play.
It's about as simple as you can get with a texture pack, but our inner comedic nerd couldn't resist adding it to our list.
The change in the game is minimal: replace the "Sergeant United Shield" with the iconic shield of Captain America himself. That's all. It's a small change but if you're like us you still like having the shield on your character. Sometimes the simplest things can be what gives you the most pleasure.
All of these packs are simple but they can make some really interesting changes to the game. They might look pretty small on the outside, but when you are there you can notice how their little changes add up to big changes.
Terraria is a game about being creative and exploring different ways of playing. Each of these packs will give you the ability to do exactly that on an entirely different level.
Terraria is now available on PC, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Playstation 4, Playstation 3, Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android, and macOS. So pretty much everything!
