Main article: Accessories

Informational accessories are accessories that display unique information when held in the non-vanity slots or the player's inventory. There are currently no informational accessories in the Nintendo 3DSNintendo 3DS version version, except the Depth Meter, which is non-functional.

Almost all informational accessories are components of either the Shellphone(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) or The Grand Design(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions). These completed items are still "informational items", but they can no longer be slotted as accessories. Informational items will still display the same information from the main inventory as their respective accessory components, the PDA(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) and Mechanical Lens(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions).

                                                  Notes

                                                  • Unlike most accessories, informational accessories do not need to be equipped in an accessory slot. They may be carried in the player's inventory without loss of functionality, unless equipped to a social slot. Additionally, the info they provide will be shared with players of the same team in multiplayer that are within 50 tiles. Keep in mind modifiers will no longer apply to the player when not equipped.
                                                  • The only accessories that are not components in other recipes are the low-/mid-tier watches, as a Gold/Platinum Watch is required for the GPS, which is itself a component for crafting the Cell Phone(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) and its direct upgrade, the Shellphone(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions).
                                                  • All of these accessories can be obtained before Hardmode, but completing the Shellphone tree will require a great deal of exploration (and Angler quests).
                                                  • On the Desktop version Desktop version, Console version Console version, and Mobile version Mobile version, the Ruler does not function as an informational accessory.
