To add mods to Terraria, you’ll use tModLoader, a free, official-sounding framework that powers the vast modding scene. The easiest route is to install tModLoader via Steam, where it appears as its own game and keeps vanilla Terraria separate from mods. On first launch, tModLoader creates its mod folders (Documents/My Games/Terraria/tModLoader). From there you can use the in‑game Mod Browser to browse, download, and enable mods with a single click and simply reload to apply them. If you prefer a manual route, you can download mods from CurseForge and drop their DLLs into the tModLoader/Mods folder, then relaunch. For the official steps and links, see the tModLoader Steam page and the Getting Started guide.
