Unobtainable features

Unobtainable items are items that are unavailable in the game through regular play. This can occur for various reasons, ranging from copyright liability to exclusivity. They are only accessible via inventory editors or other third-party game modifications.

Unimplemented items are items that are partially present in the game files, however, due to their incomplete coding, they cannot be obtained, even with inventory editors.

Trivia

• Attempting to give an item with the Biome Key Mold's former ID will result in it switching to a Biome Key.
• The item code for the Icemourne and the Scythe are now Boreal items, the Soul Scythe is now the Red Potion, and the Zapinator is now Bottled Water.
  • The Zapinator is actually obtainable on the Nintendo 3DS version, as a drop from Plantera.
• The sprite for a Water Fountain that is not currently in the game can be found in the game files.
• The only unobtainable Luminite tool set with a name in the game codes is the Stardust set, while the others are just named Unknown.
• The Icemourne and the Scythe are obtainable on through the use of an inventory management software (Hacks). The Icemourne will have the description of the Boreal Work Bench, and the Scythe will have the description of the Boreal Wood Table, but the sprites will remain the Icemourne, and Scythe sprite. Both have their swing animations but no damaging hit boxes. May also just place an angel statue instead of swinging.
