Mod of Headshots

Why swing wildly when you can aim with purpose? This mod adds a clean, skill-based headshot mechanic to Terraria, rewarding accuracy with satisfying feedback and bonus damage.

With a bow, wand, or dagger in hand, landing a shot on the upper part of an enemy’s hitbox turns precision into power.

---

• Precision Damage: Shots to the upper part of a humanoid enemy’s hitbox are considered headshots, dealing bonus damage.
  
  
• Satisfying Feedback: Every headshot is confirmed with a distinct sparkle and a sharp "tink" sound, so your aim always feels rewarding.
  
  
• Smarter Targeting: The logic intelligently distinguishes humanoids from beasts, excluding enemies like spiders or crabs while automatically supporting most humanoid enemies from other mods.
  
  
• Authored Design: Headshots are enabled only for weapons that reward aim: Ranged, Magic, and Summon projectiles, plus select aim-based melee weapons like Starfury, throwing knives, and boomerangs. Spammy swings (like Terra Blade beams) are deliberately excluded.
  
  
• Mod Compatibility: Built-in support for Calamity Mod! An option in the settings allows you to enable Rogue headshots (on by default).
  
  
• Fully Configurable: Adjust the headshot multiplier, toggle summoner headshots, and fine-tune balance through the in-game config menu.

The design goal is simple: precision should be rewarded.
Weapons that require careful aim can land headshots, while screen-filling spam cannot. This makes combat feel deliberate, skillful, and satisfying.

Found an enemy that should (or shouldn’t) be susceptible to headshots?
