Joining + admin basics
Connect, set difficulty, manage users.
Our Terraria servers run TShock — a server wrapper that adds an admin command system, permissions, and plugin support on top of vanilla Terraria.
Connecting
In Terraria:
- Multiplayer → Join via IP.
- Enter the server IP + port (default
7777). - Enter the password (if set).
World settings
Set in the panel before first start:
- World name — what shows in-game
- World size — Small / Medium / Large
- Difficulty — Normal / Expert / Master / Journey
- Max players — concurrent cap
- Server password — keep it private
To start a fresh world: stop server → delete the .wld file in
/data/worlds/ → restart. New world generates on boot.
Becoming admin
TShock uses a user system separate from Steam:
- Connect to the server normally first.
- In-game console:
/user add YourName YourPassword superadmin - Now log in:
/login YourName YourPassword
You're admin. /help shows the command list.
Common admin commands
/spawnboss <name>— spawn a boss/kick <player>— kick by name/ban add <player>— ban/give <item> <player>— give items/heal <player>— full heal/tp <player>— teleport to player/butcher— kill all NPCs (clean up event mobs)/restart— graceful restart with warning
Backups
The world saves automatically every few minutes. The panel's
backup system snapshots the whole /worlds/ folder. Restore by
opening a ticket with the date you want.
