I initially posted this as a comment, but I think it fits better in discussions, plus I can expand on it

This mod is incredible. It's a very, very well-made mod with tons of replayability. It's some of the most fun I've ever had in terraria, and I have some suggestions to make it even better. The mod doesn't need any of them, of course, but I think each of these would be a really fun addition.


1. (ignore this one it was an error on my part) the ability to pause. I can see reasoning for not allowing it, but sometimes I just gotta. My eyes were watering during the modded brain of cthulhu fight due to it taking 30 minutes (boss just kept healing and I wasn't dealing enough damage), but I couldn't pause the game to deal with that and had to keep fighting despite it. Edit: ignore this one. My taskbar was covering it

2. some type of multiplayer compatibility so that I can play the mod with my friends. I can definitely see some issues, such as what if the other player doesn't go into the next room and you do, but it would be incredibly fun

3. an endless mode with floors until you die. Preferably without the moon lord fight and definitely no collapse timer section. This would allow for a ton of replayability, and I think it would be incredibly fun to see how powerful I could get.

4. game settings to customize the experience. My favorite idea is being able to choose from any item of the selected rarity instead of a random item. This would make it easier of course, but would allow for specialized builds which could be incredibly fun. For example, just before making this post, I had a run where I had a massive amount of bullets per shot and enough fire speed items to counteract the fire speed reduction of the bullets per shot items. The entire time I was thinking that it would be really fun combined with homing bullets, but because I can't choose my items, I would have to luck into it, and I didn't. A setting when starting a run to let me choose the item I get each room would be incredibly fun. Not only that, but it would combo nicely with endless mode if that was added.

5. save files so that I don't have to remake my character each time. Saves could also allow for tracking past runs, and potentially even a roguelite mode where I can earn items to start with in future runs (perhaps selected on save creation?). A roguelite mode in general would be really interesting to see. Saves can also allow for cosmetics to be used, which would be another great feature to add.

6. Please please make the sword bigger. Its too useless because I can't use it without getting hit so I just die. Literally the only use I can get out of it is hitting ballistas through walls/ceilings

7. Let me see what items do in the shop before buying them. This isn't much of a problem with blue and green rarities, at worst I end up trading one useless item for another, but it could be a massive pain with red rarity items


So yeah, I think any/all of those ideas would make the mod both more fun and smoother to play. The mod doesn't need any of them, but I think they could be really great additions that would add tons of replayability and customization
