What are all the different Terraria server types?

We offer three different options for Terraria servers to cover every player’s need.

  • Terraria Base/Vanilla: Your standard Terraria experience is provided by the developers. Nothing extra or new.
  • tModLoader: If you want to play modded Terraria this is the option you are looking for. tModLoader (TML) is an open-source, community-driven modification and expansion of the Terraria game that makes it possible to make and play mods. tModloader 1.4 is now supported as of 4/14/2022 and can be chosen using Server Swap.
  • TShock: An advanced Terraria server offering many advanced tools such as:
    • Admin system to execute commands in-game
    • Build protection
    • Warping
    • Plugin support to get more commands or fixes
    • Some minor fixes/tweaks to the vanilla server software
    • Edit hidden world settings in-game
    • And much more
