Several features of the Calamity Mod can be toggled though the usage of either tModLoader's in-game configuration menu or the external CalamityMod_CalamityConfig.json file.
CalamityMod_CalamityConfig.json resides in one of the following locations by default:
- Windows:
"C:\Users\username\Documents\My Games\Terraria\tModLoader\ModConfigs" - Mac:
"~/Library/Application support/Terraria/ModLoader/Mod Configs" - Linux:
"Home/.local/share/Terraria/Modloader/Mod Configs"
If editing CalamityMod_CalamityConfig.json manually, the player must quit Terraria completely, edit the settings in the file, and then start Terraria again in order for them to take effect.
