You control how your Terraria server plays through its configuration. This guide shows where the settings live, what the important ones do, and how to apply changes without losing data.
Open the config
Go to the File Manager and open serverconfig.txt. Click to edit, make your changes, then save. Take a backup first so you can roll back if something goes wrong.
The settings you will use most
worldname: the world the server loadsautocreate: world size to create if none exists (1 small, 2 medium, 3 large)difficulty: 0 normal, 1 expert, 2 mastermaxplayers: player slotspassword: set this to make the server privatemotd: the welcome message
Apply your changes
Most settings take effect after a Restart from the panel. If a change causes a problem, restore your backup to undo it.
Tips
- Change one thing at a time so you know what caused any change in behaviour.
- Keep a note of values you have changed from the defaults.
- Back up before any large change.
