The crafted calling devices used throughout the mod — every one of these is built from a Den Den Mushi (see Crafting).

Transponder Snail

Transponder Snail (Item/Block)

The basic placeable calling device. Right-click it to open the dialing screen. When you first activate a snail (block or handheld), it's automatically assigned a "Snail Number" — check the item's tooltip to see your number. See Calling for how to use it.

Transponder Snail with Transmitter (Block)

A variant of the placeable Transponder Snail, that uses a transmitter to wire to accessorizes, like a White Transponder Snail for call protection — see Protecting Calls (White Transponder Snail).

Black Transponder Snail

Black Transponder Snail (Item/Block)

A handheld snail used for eavesdropping on other players' calls instead of making your own. See Tapping Calls (Black Transponder Snail).

Baby Black Transponder Snail (Item/Block)

A smaller, shorter-range version of the Black Transponder Snail. Works the same way, just with less reach.

Portable Black Transponder Snail (Item/Curios)

A wrist-worn version of the Baby Black Transponder Snail — see Curios Support. Functions identically while equipped, just without needing a hand free.

White Transponder Snail (Block)

A placeable block that protects nearby calls from being tapped. See Protecting Calls (White Transponder Snail).

Where to Find Them

  • Black Transponder Snails and Baby Black Transponder Snails spawn underwater in oceans and rivers, generally at moderate depth.
  • Server owners can adjust spawn rates and locations — see Config.
