Description

Uh oh! Your Terraria had a major glitch, and now all the bosses are looking a little strange...

Bored of the same Vanilla Terraria, but not quite ready for mods yet? Boss Swap is a Resource Pack that switches the themes of the Terraria bosses in order of progression, featuring completely new sprites and localization changes to boss NPCs and the loot they drop. This creates a "new" Vanilla Terraria experience!
It is recommended that you start a new world with this resource pack for the full experience, but you don't have to if you don't want to.

Below are all the swaps:

King Slime - Moon Lord

(The Mollusk)
Eye of Cthulhu - Lunatic Cultist

(Sealed Beast)
Eater of Worlds - Duke Fishron

(Count Eelron)
Brain of Cthulhu - Duke Fishron

(Trufflemeister)
Queen Bee - Empress of Light

(Megasparkle Lacewing)
Skeletron - Golem

(Knucklotl)
Deerclops - A surprise
Wall of Flesh - Plantera

(Root of Yggdrasil)
Queen Slime - The Mechanical Bosses
The Mechanical Bosses - Queen Slime
Plantera - Wall of Flesh
Golem - Skeletron
Empress of Light - Queen Bee
Duke Fishron - Eater of Worlds & Brain of Cthulhu
Lunatic Cultist - Eye of Cthulhu
Moon Lord - King Slime

Check their replacements out ingame! Only the bosses with a little icon next to them have been completed. As of now, I have only completed Pre-hardmode.

There is also Boss Swap Lite, a version of the pack with only Boss changes. I do not recommend playing with it instead of the main pack, but I will not stop you.

If you'd like, you can follow my new Twitter (my old one got banned for saying "kill"), where I post regularly about future Boss Swap updates, as well as post Boss Swap art (and sometimes even spoilers!) https://twitter.com/bossswappack

I hope you all enjoy using Boss Swap as much as I enjoyed making it - each and every boss in this pack was made with love and care and the same will go for the future bosses!

Thank you to everybody who has been helping me make decisions and giving sprite/design feedback!

DISCLAIMER: All localization changes will only work in the English language, because I do not speak any other language. If you would like to translate Boss Swap into another language, contact me on Twitter. These localization changes will also not work on tModloader, however you can download a mod to counteract this (tModLoader Language Pack Fix).

Imagine Minecraft Boss Swap, where only 2 bosses of minecraft are swapping: Wither and Ender Dragon. Warden, elder guardian and evoker are not count, they are not bosses.

ЧВК Вагнер 0.2 7 Aug @ 3:57am

I have idea for calamity boss swap addon for my boss swap, where pre hardmode swaps with hardmode. Swaps will be: Pre-Hardmode & Hardmode swaps with Post-Satana. For example, Desert scourge swaps with profaned guardians, and astrum deus swaps with supreme calamitas. Probably, astral infection will be mix of 2 themes, like your bee factory, domdel. Astrum aureus is swapped with devourer of gods, so it will be mix of space and fire. Blue is the void, while red/orange is the fire. Sulphurous Sea also will be mix of multiple themed. Of 3 themes: of fire, of water, of ice! So, frostburn sea. A sea of frost and fire. I shouldn't change sunken sea and abyss, because no boss related to them. Or maybe I should count eidolon worm boss in the swaps?
Supreme calamitas should be some girl, that has some space themed story.
Astrum Deus should be based on sepulcher.

Domdel, I have ideas for Root of Yggdrasil's weapons
Breaker Blade - Plant Crusher (reference to seedler)
Clockwork Assault Rifle - Venus Machine Gun (reference to venus magnum)
Laser Rifle - Laser Bloom (original idea)
Firecracker - Thorn Whip (based on snapthorn and thorn hook)
Emblems should be class flowers (for example, melee flower).
For Lunar Caverns, I will also change obsidian, due to lunar plasma change. It will be Lunar Hydroplasm. Lunar Hydroplasm bricks are will have some moon references.
About lunar caverns backgrounds. There is will be some cratters, lunar plasma lakes, and hills similar to hills on the moon. There is orange sky on underworld backgrounds, but on lunar caverns backgrounds that sky will be black. This is reference to background becoming black when you fight moon lord or activate void monolith. Maybe I should do the sky dark cyan or something, but black sky is good idea.

I like your bee factory idea. It's creative, a mix of bee and mechanical
But I have idea for jungle for my boss swap - it's called Violet Swamps. It somehow based on Corruption. Before I wanted to call it Corrupted Swamps, but to de-evil it, I decided to rename it to violet swamps. Before naming corrupted swamps, I decided to make biome based on both hallow and ocean: Hallowed Swamps. But I thought only hive should changed due to queen bee, not entire jungle. So I decided change jungle to fit infector (plantera replacement).
But what if I would change the Forest to fit some boss? I would do it is there would be some FOREST themed boss, that fought in forest. While there is no forest themed boss, forest will stay the same.

domdel 6 Aug @ 8:20am

how the bee and mech hallow would work is its more bee themed above ground but still having a slight bit of robotic stuff there to (like a camera in the hive trees) but underground vice versa with it having it be factory lights replacing crystals (with the gelatin one being the alerta twitch emote) but still having armored bee guard over the chaos elemental. and feel that your moonlord underworld biome swap would be cool if it was like spelunkys sunken city

ЧВК Вагнер 0.2 6 Aug @ 2:23am

I have another boss swap take: where one boss swaps with next boss.
Few examples. King slime <> eye of cthulhu. EOW/BOC <> queen bee. Skeletron <> wall of flesh. Queen Slime <> mechanical bosses (that swap is like in seasalt's boss swap, but I have my own takes, more serious). More swaps. Plantera <> golem. Duke Fishron <> empress of light. Lunatic cultist <> moon lord. EOW is replaced with Stingworm, while BOC is replaced with The Sinister Hive. Corruption should be sting themed, while crimson is mainly BEE themed.
Empress of Light is replaced with God of Sea. He is resembling Poseidon. I should replace Hallow with sea themed biome. Duke Fishron is replaced with Prismfish. A empress of prismatic fishes.
Plantera is replaced with Eye of the Sun. Golem should be... some plant mutant? Probably I should base it on Leapleaf from Minecraft Dungeons. Skeletron should be the devil. Dungeon should be Hell Castle.

ЧВК Вагнер 0.2 6 Aug @ 1:56am

Domdel, your idea with bee factory is cool. But what, if both surface and underground would be mix of bee and mechanical? Probably, it should be beechanical.
What your ideas for boss swap biome ideas?
But I have my boss swap take. Wall of flesh is swapped with Moon Lord, and it's named Moon Barrier now. It similar to Floor of moon lord, deleted fargo mod joke boss, but I should change it.
I should change Underworld to Lunar Caverns. Moon/space themed biome. I should also change lava to moon plasma. I will also do Moon Barrier's weapons, and even emblems!
Breaker Blade - Star Wrecker (reference to starwrath)
Clockwork Assault Rifle - Space Dolphin Rifle (reference to s.d.m.g.)
Laser Rifle - Prism Rifle (reference to last prism)
Firecracker - Moon Whip (reference to moon portal staff)
Sadly, Seasalt didn't do root of ygdrasil drops.
Emblems are being class stars (for example, melee star). Pwnhammer should be Honey Hammer, it depend on hallow ingots.

domdel 5 Aug @ 12:01pm

sorry for inconvenience its just i haven't seen you here for a long while so i excepted it to stay like that (still i will probably do my bee factory idea and will make only the pet for lunatic swapped just for funnies)

ЧВК Вагнер 0.2 5 Aug @ 5:00am

I already understood slime's colors are hard coded
It's unknown why Mollusk can summon slimes of such color
But tell me ideas for bosses of next update

Seasalt [author] 5 Aug @ 4:26am

i tried, but it doesn't quite work unfortunately
