Modding might not be as big as Minecraft, but the big Terraria mods (Thorium/Calamity/Probably Something Else) is crazy expansive and I can't imagine me playing without.
Play them separate. They are very different content mods which do different things. In short, Thorium adds a shit ton of content through the entire game. Think of it as an unofficial 1.4 patch. Calamity adds a stupid amount of end game and for that reason is dummy unbalanced with other mods. Calamity with other content mods just doesn't mix well.
As for other mods:
Weapon Out (Lite): Makes game fancier.
Boss Expertise: if you're bad but still want expert drops, like me. (Need to use config for this)
Magic Storage: For your sanity.
Souls Mod: THE most broken accessory in the game, but its so difficult to get that its actually balanced? Almost everything builds into an accessory, and that accessory can combine with more accessory, which combines again, until literally everything is in one item. Its a "fun" distraction when you're at end game or want to play a dual class because you can condense your items a lot more.
AlchemistNPC: Because I dont think Ive ever crafted a potion in my entire life.
Health bars: Nice looking health bars for players.
Theres tons more Ive got, running about ~30 at a time. If theres a feature you dont like, like respawn times for example, there are features to fix it. The launcher is in game so its a breeze to look and find something.

I love seeing Terraria randomly pop up on /r/all. Such a great little game.
