I love this mod

Did I ever tell you how much I love this mod?

I. LOVE. THIS. MOD.

Allow me to explain, vanilla Terraria is quite limited when it comes to exploration, unlike Minecraft, there is a certain limit to how far you could traverse, and it also depends on the world size that you've chosen. This mod however doesn't have those limits! I've been flying for hours and I still haven't reached the end. Perhaps its algorithm is like Minecraft, where everything is randomly generated when they're out of vision from the player? Currently I've been flying Sir BoinkGeminid at a pretty high altitude. I'm still testing out the limits of this mod and from the looks of it I can confidently confirm that there is no limit when it comes to this mod's horizontal axis.

I think I've had enough of exploring. I pressed the escape key on my keyboard, letting me access Sir BoinkGeminid's inventory, skimming through potions and other drops that I got from the spawns of this mod I finally stopped at the most useful item while at the same time unnecessary item in Terraria.

The Cell Phone

Let's be real here, some of the information that you get from the device is utterly useless. Like, who wants to know where the centre of the world is? Or the moon phase? Or speed of your character? I will admit, it does provide some useful information like nearby ores and crystal hearts and other stuff but like I said, there are some information that isn't necessary.

I left click on the mouse and the vanilla sound of a magic mirror powering up overcame my headset and then the screen turned bright before dimming again, showing me the structure of a house. The house itself was basic, it was a simple square thatch house with hay for roof, its front had a door positioned in between two windows. It was situated in the middle of a forest, soon though I'll have to take these trees down. I'll be honest, I'm not good when it comes to building in Terraria, save that for those who have a lot of time in their hands. I am glad that could finally build something good because this mod came with pre-set buildings!

Of course, to build the house you need the specific items, and, in this case, I needed a large amount of hay and wood, also some sand for the windows. Wasn't hard to find really, just had to fly a few ways away until I found a beach. Used my pickaxe, which was a Nebula Pickaxe with the modifier of Legendary and flew back. Along the way, I fought some Grimm. After fighting the Grimm, I just realized that these spawns also drop items that are unique to the mod! With that in mind, I am now curious as to what I can craft with these drops. I pressed 'W' on the keyboard, making Sir BoinkGeminid walk up to the door, I right clicked making my character do the animation of opening the door and entering the room.

The inside of the thatch house wasn't something to marvel at. Just like any house I built in Terraria, it had a table and a chair sitting in the middle, some torches hanged up to the side of the walls and a bed at the corner, on the bed was an unconscious Amber. To the right was a wooden platform which leads down to the basement which had stone for walls and floor, it's also the place where most of the crafting and smelting is done while it also functions as a storage room. All in all, I'd say it's a pretty solid base.

I made Sir BoinkGeminid walk to the side, towards a chest and opened it. It showed the contents of the chest like how chests functions in vanilla Terraria. Taking 'Remnants of a Mirror', I had Sir BoinkGeminid hold it in his hand before left clicking. He struck a pose before my whole screen when white. Once the light dimmed down, I'm back to a more familiar environment. Gone was the three dimensional world and back to the original game. Looking at it now, it feels like what I had just experienced was just a dream but after looking through my inventory and spotting items that I don't recognize to be in the base game, I knew that this mod was the real deal.

I made my way back to my home base where all my NPCs are stuck, wandering around aimlessly. Like I said earlier, I'm not really that well versed in the art of building in Terraria, leave those kinds of stuff to people who have plenty of time in their hands. My home base is just like any other home base, it was built with practicality in mind, it had eight floors with each floor sporting two rooms for two NPCs, to access the next level, wooden platforms are used.

Spotting the Guide wandering around in the fourth floor, that's where I headed. Once I reached him, I interacted with him. I was expecting the same dialogue that he's been saying since the beginning of his existence but to my surprise he said something different.

'I remember rumours of an old wizard in a tower, I just don't remember where…'

I took the item that was dropped by a spawn called 'Elder Grimm'.

Dark Essence

'The essence of a negative energy'

I placed the Dark Essence into the crafting section when you interact with the guide revealing some interesting items that I might try to craft.

Grimm Helmet

Grimm Breastplate

Grimm Boots

Grimm Prosthetic

Grimm PickAxe

Grimm Wings

Brahmastra

Xiucoatl

Silver Slayer

Grimm Trident

Relic of Destruction

Relic of Creation

Relic of Knowledge

Relic of Choice

To my disappointment, the armour rating for the whole Grimm armour set wasn't that high, but the set bonus that I get is clearly interesting: 'receiving damage from the same type of attack reduces the effect by 25%'. Thinking about it now, it might be a good endgame item when fighting against the Moon Lord since the damage reduction will just start to stack. I'll experiment with the Grimm armour at another time, what piqued my interests are the weapons and the accessories. I must say, the mod creator really went all out with the crafting recipes and I can't wait till I get these.

But for now, I needed to heal Amber. And for that, I needed some high quality potions, perhaps some mana stars since she has magic. Some accessories might also help along the way. The search for the items and potions that I wanted took a few minutes since I'm a hoarder at heart so finding the right items took a while. I don't know what I need to help Amber so I brought out everything that would negate debuffs and increases regeneration for both mana and health. With that in mind, I took the Ankh Shield, Bands of Regeneration and Mana Regeneration. As for potions, I took both Greater Healing Potions and Greater Mana Potions.

Happy with the items that I took, I had Sir BoinkGeminid take out the 'Remnants of a Mirror' and used it. The screen brightened for a few seconds. It took a while for the mod to re-load back in, which I couldn't really fault the game for since it would be hard for a game that's originally two dimensional to shift to three dimensional. When the light finally died, Sir BoinkGeminid was standing inside of the thatch house. I moved the mouse around to get my bearings, amid doing so I noticed something on my mini map; a red dot that's blinking from black to red. That same dot is also sitting on the bed.

To my surprise, the camera locked itself, preventing me from looking around any further. I assume that what I'm looking at is a cutscene since the camera panned slowly around until Sir BoinkGeminid was looking at a ragged, wary and tired Amber. Her hands sparked some fire every now and then but even still, it didn't deter my character.

A. "Hey, calm down… I'm here to help you."

B. "You're currently suffering from a lot of symptoms, I carried you here so that I could take care of you."

C. "…"

D. "HO, YOU DARE ATTEMPT TO ATTACK ME!? ME!?"
