Terraria’s biggest mod, Calamity, is shutting down after 10 years over what the makers call a “troubled past” and “irrecoverably tainted reputation”
The team behind Calamity, one of Terraria’s largest and most prominent mods, has announced that development will end after 10 years. The creators said the decision was driven by the project’s “troubled past” and what they described as an “irrecoverably tainted reputation”, bringing a long-running fan-made expansion to a close.
Calamity has substantially expanded Terraria with additional bosses, areas, items and progression systems, making it a major part of the game’s modding community. The announcement indicates the shutdown concerns the mod’s future development and standing rather than a newly reported change to Terraria itself.
