A Terraria server provides a platform for players to connect over the internet or other network for multiplayer games. Windows installations of Terraria include its server software. For running on a Linux distribution, you must download the server files. See the Downloads section.
A server can also be used for standalone single-player gameplay. This offers the ability to adjust the in-game time at will.
The server runs on TCP port 7777 by default. If you are behind NAT (e.g. residential user), the port used must be port-forwarded in order for other players be able to join. If one can't forward a port, one may choose to use a VPN service like Hamachi or Radmin VPN instead (although in those cases, every player needs to install the VPN software). The default max players is 8 (16 as of 1.4.0.1), but this can be changed during server start-up, as well as within the server configuration file (serverconfig.txt). Non-NAT connections(e.g. business or data center user) typically do not need port forwarding, but may need to allow the port through a firewall.
If running on a cloud service provider such as AWS or GCP, ensure port 7777 on TCP and UDP is open to allow connections to the server.
•By default, on a 32-bit Windows installation of Terraria, TerrariaServer.exe can be found at: %programfiles%\Steam\steamapps\common\terraria
•On a 64-bit Windows installation, it can be found at: %programfiles(x86)%\Steam\steamapps\common\terraria
•If you cannot find it in paths above, open steam and right click Terraria in your library, then hit "Properties" > "LOCAL FILES" > "BROWSE LOCAL FILES..." to open the folder.
•If you do not have steam: %programfiles(x86)%\terraria or %programfiles%\terraria
•If you use GOG: GOG Games\terraria
A player then may join the server from the game menu by choosing the Multiplayer option.
Prerequisites
First we will install the tools we need to run the server. These are likely preinstalled on your distribution. For a Debian based system (Ubuntu), run: sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y wget tmux unzip
Starting the server
1.See the Downloads section to get the link to the latest download. Then download the file: wget the_latest_link_here 2.Unzip the file: unzip terraria-server* 3.Navigate into the directory you just unzipped. As of 1.4.1.2 the directory is called '1412'. This may change for future versions: cd 1412 4.Navigate to the Linux directory: cd Linux 5.Add executable permissions to the server binary: chmod +x TerrariaServer.bin.x86* 6.Launch the server. The 64 bit version is TerrariaServer.bin.x86_64, the 32 bit version is TerrariaServer.bin.x86: ./TerrariaServer.bin.x86_64 7.Place your world files in the following location for the server to find them: ~/.local/share/Terraria/Worlds/
Launching in the background
Tmux is a modern version of screen that allows multiple virtual terminal instances. We will use it to launch the server in the background. 1.Launch the server in a tmux session: tmux 2.In the tmux session, launch the server: ./TerrariaServer.bin.x86_64 3.Now the server should start up as normal. To detatch from the tmux instance, leaving the server running in the background, use the following key combination: d 4.You should now be back at the previous terminal instance. You can see that the tmux session is running in the background with tmux list 5.To re-attach to the instance to edit or shut it down, just run tmux attach
If you are using an operating system (Such as Raspberry Pi OS (previously called Raspbian) or FreeBSD) that does not come with a prebuilt executable, you could use mono to start the server. This could be useful if you want to host a server on a device such as a Raspberry Pi, or any device that does not run on the x86 architecture.
The vanilla Terraria server software is included with the regular Terraria package (see above), but can also be downloaded:
•Terraria Server 1.4.2.3
•Terraria Server 1.4.3
•Terraria Server 1.4.3.1
•Terraria Server 1.4.3.2
•Terraria Server 1.4.3.3
The Windows server consists of these files:
•TerrariaServer.exe - The main server file. Can be run stand-alone.
•serverconfig.txt - The server config files. Defines all parameters for the server (see below).
•start-server.bat - A Windows Batch file which starts the server using the serverconfig.txt file. Also contains a loopback to restart the server if it should crash.
Once a dedicated server is running, the following commands can be run:
•help - Displays a list of commands.
•playing - Shows the list of players. This can be used in-game by typing /playing into the chat.
•clear - Clear the console window.
•exit - Shutdown the server and save.
•exit-nosave - Shutdown the server without saving.
The following is a list of parameters that can be entered when running TerrariaServer initially:
•-config - Specifies a configuration file to use (see Server config file below).
•-port - Specifies the port to listen on.
•-players / -maxplayers - Sets the max number of players.
•-pass / -password - Sets the server password.
•-motd - Set the server motto of the day text.
