Best mods to turn Minecraft into Terraria

Both Minecraft and Terraria are quite similar. They are survival titles that place players in a world where they need to gather resources and progress. Furthermore, both give players lots of freedom, allowing them to do almost whatever they want. However, if players want to experience Terraria features in Minecraft itself, they can do so through a few mods.

Here are two great Minecraft mods that somewhat turn the game into Terraria.

TerrariaCraft

TerrariaCraft is a detailed mod that imports Terraria’s equipment, enemies, biomes, and progression into Minecraft while maintaining the vanilla mechanics of Mojang's title.

The mod essentially adds various Terraria content, including weapons, armors, tiles, NPCs, and boss encounters by remodeling them within a 3D environment, which is required for Minecraft. This brings the infamous boss-driven progression system to Minecraft.

Since TerrariaCraft is such a detailed mod, it is maintained alongside an official modpack and launcher to simplify installation. It has substantial PC demands, large download files, and particular compatibility requirements which the authors recommend. Such specific methods are required to avoid conflicts with other mods.

Confluence: Otherworld

Confluence: Otherworld is another large mod that integrates Terraria content and progression into Minecraft while keeping the latter's core systems.

The mod introduces new ores, biomes, ruins, enemies, and scripted boss encounters that reorient exploration toward a boss-driven progression loop.

Weapons, armors, accessories, tools, and specialized blocks recreate Terraria-like progression. The mod even adds Terraria loot tables, unique drops, and crafting trees to support its advancement model. Players can expect increased resource variety and a new stage progression system based on bosses and complex biomes.

Similar to TerrariaCraft, this mod can also be quite demanding on most PCs. Furthermore, it can interfere with other mods. Hence, if players want to experience Terraria in Minecraft, they should try out both these mods separately and pick whichever one suits them.
