How can I cheat an item into my inventory?
There are several ways to cheat an item into your game.
The easiest way is to use a character editor and add the item you want into your inventory. There's a bunch of them out there, just do a Google search. This one is online so it doesn't have to be downloaded separately.
Download an "all-items" map, find the item you're looking for, then transfer it to your main world/character.
Start a local TShock server on your machine, then join it as a client and use commands to spawn the item you want. The command you'll have to use is
/item [item] [quantity], where[item]is the name of the item (in quotes if the name contains spaces). If the quantity is not specified, it defaults to the max stack size for the given item.
