Here you’ll learn how to connect to your Terraria server with tModLoader and set it up.
Connecting
- Start the server on the server page with Start.
- Wait until the status shows “running”. You can follow the progress in the Console.
- Launch tModLoader, choose “Multiplayer” → “Join via IP” and enter the IP and port from the server page.
- The address (IP:Port) is shown at the top of your server page.
Important settings
You change these values in the Startup variables tab. Changes take effect on the next restart.

WORLD_NAME) – the name of the world file. If the world doesn’t exist, it is created. - World size (
WORLD_SIZE) – 1 (small), 2 (medium) or 3 (large), applies to new worlds. - Difficulty (
DIFFICULTY) – 0 (normal), 1 (expert), 2 (master) or 3 (journey), applies to new worlds. - Server password (
