Consumables

A Consumable is an item that is removed from a player's inventory upon direct use. For items that are consumed from use of another item, see Ammunition. Some consumable items, like thrown weapons, may be recoverable as dropped items afterward in certain situations.

Note: This term is distinct from Category:Consumable items, which is a Terraria Wiki category encompassing all blocks and furniture that can leave the player's inventory via placement, but which are not necessarily used and destroyed.

Permanent Boosters
Some consumables will permanently increase a character's stats. These upgrades will never go away, even after death.

Summoning Items
Some consumable items will summon bosses or events under the correct circumstances.

Achievement
Like a Boss is the achievement you earn for obtaining a boss-summoning item for the first time ( only).

Critters
Critters caught with a Bug Net will drop as an item. Using this item will spawn a living version of the critter.

Potions
A wide variety of Potion items are available. No healing potions can be consumed while affected by the Potion Sickness debuff.
