Terraria UI Texture Editor

The HUD, inventory, and menus

UI sprites are everything on screen that is not part of the world itself: the hotbar and inventory-slot backgrounds, the red life hearts and blue mana stars, the cursor, the minimap frame, the buff and debuff icons (Buff_<ID>.png), and the title, settings, and Resource Packs menus. Many of these live under the Content/Images/UI/ subfolder — for example UI/Achievement_Borders.png — so when you replace one, keep that UI/ path exactly as the game uses it.

A quick honesty guardrail: retexturing the interface only changes how it looks. The same hearts still track the same health and the same slots hold the same items — a UI pack is purely cosmetic, like every other resource pack.

How the UI editor helps

Browse or search the interface sprites, pick one, and the canvas locks to its exact size — important for UI, where a heart or slot that is even a pixel off will not line up with the rest of the HUD. Recolor a heart, restyle the hotbar, or redraw a menu element with the pixel tools, then export. The editor preserves the correct file names and the UI/ subfolder paths and writes a valid pack.json, so the pack installs cleanly.

Popular UI packs

Interface packs are a favorite because a few sprites change the whole feel of the game: minimalist or high-contrast HUDs that are easier to read, themed hearts and mana stars, restyled inventory frames, and custom cursors. Since only the sprites you include get overridden, a UI pack layers happily under a separate sprite pack.

Put a full pack together in the main editor, learn the workflow in how to make a Terraria texture pack, or pair your interface with repainted item icons for a matching set.
