Items
tModLoader adds some assorted items, though none of them particularly impact the game.


 * The Unloaded Item, which is used to store data for modded items that no longer have their mod present.
 * The April Fools Joke, which appears to be a Terrarian but actually can be used to inflict the Wet, Lovestruck, Stinky and Slime debuffs upon the player.
 * The Starting Bag, which is unobtainable through most circumstances but is only obtainable if multiple mods add so many items in your starting inventory that it fills up. it can be consumed like a treasure bag and drops the rest of the items.
 * Various tModLoader Developer Items.
