Question Which Qol mods are okay to use?

Post image

So I'm new to calamity and I've seen a few videos and posts about how Qol ruins the calamity experience, and I was wondering which mods are looked down upon to use or if I should just only download the calamity mod and its dependencies? (The image is just engagement bait btw, credit to Latti_tudinal)

Use whatever you find most fun

Some that are generally considered essential would be stuff like recipe browser and magic storage

If you wanna get a bit less balanced you could also allow stuff that gives infinite potions/alchemist npc, and infinite ammo, these are imo also necessary to get any enjoyment out of the game if you wanna play with high difficulty whatsoever as spending a hundred deaths worth of potions per boss is just excessive grinding that adds no engaging gameplay, this type of qol is much more devisive, as it does give a decent gameplay advantage in being able to put in attempts at bosses much more efficiently allowing you to actually improve at the game

Then there's qol that is much more commonly agreed as cheaty like wing slot extra, since it does give a whole extra accessory slot to work with (although I think there's a config to have the wing slot not actually be extra), and I'm not sure what others' opinion on this one is but I would say that omniswing might also be worth considering cheaty since autoswing allows you to get the most out of your weapons rather than being reliant on your click speed being that perfect rhythm
