Consumables

A consumable is an item that is removed from a player's inventory upon direct use. For items that are consumed from use of another item, see Ammunition. On the  Old-gen console version and Nintendo 3DS version, some consumable items, like consumable weapons, may be recoverable as dropped items afterward in certain situations.

There are some consumables that only cause a cosmetic effect, such as the Sparkle Slime Balloon(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions). These have no effect on gameplay.

Note: This term is distinct from Category:Consumable items, which is a Terraria Wiki category encompassing all blocks and furniture that can leave the player's inventory via placement, but which are not necessarily used and destroyed.
