Terraria Crafting Calculator

Terraria Crafting Calculator

Plan the exact raw materials needed to craft any of 1,444 Terraria items. Pick a target, set how many you want, and the calculator recursively expands every intermediate recipe to base ingredients — so you know exactly how much copper, gold, souls of light, and chlorophyte to farm before you start crafting.

Recipe data source: cr0wst/terraria-info (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0), which compiles data from the Terraria Wiki (also CC BY-NC-SA 3.0). Per the Share-Alike license, the data files derived from these sources in this project remain under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. No commercial reuse of the data.

How the Recursion Works

craft 1× Megashark
  needs 1× Minishark
    needs 1× Illegal Gun Parts (chest drop — base)
    needs 35× Iron Bar (= 105× Iron Ore at 3:1 ratio)
    needs 5× Sand Block (base)
    needs 25 gold (base)
  needs 20× Soul of Might (base — Destroyer drop)
  needs 1× Shark Fin (base — sharks)
  needs 5× Jungle Spore (base — jungle)

The calculator stops at items that have no crafting recipe — those are treated as raw materials you need to farm directly. Soul drops, ores, gems, and special chest items all end up in the "raw materials" column.
