Guides and documentation for getting the most out of your servers.

Terraria Server Settings Explained

Open Settings to change the TShock options MaximusHost supports. Select Save All when you are done. These changes are saved for the next server restart.

Everyday settings

  • In-Game Server Name is shown while players are connected. It does not rename your saved world.
  • Message of the Day is the text returned by TShock's /motd command.
  • Max Players limits how many people can connect at once.
  • Server Password protects the server. Leave the password field empty to keep the current value. To remove it, select Remove the current password.
  • PvP Mode lets players choose, keeps PvP on, protects teammates, or disables PvP.
  • Automatic World Saves periodically saves the active world.
  • Save When Last Player Leaves saves when the last player disconnects.

Gameplay and advanced settings

Use Search settings to find an option. Turn on Advanced to browse less common controls.

Spawn protection prevents ordinary players from changing tiles near the default spawn. Its radius is measured in tiles. Respawn options set the delay after a normal death or a death during a boss fight. Corruption, Crimson, and Hallow spread settings control their spread after Hardmode starts. Seasonal event options can keep Christmas or Halloween content enabled outside its normal season.

Change one option at a time and check it with your group after restarting. A setting may affect the whole world or server; it may not be reversible for an already changed world.

World choices

Use Worlds to create a Small, Medium, or Large save, choose its evil and difficulty, select which save loads, or transfer a supported .wld file. World size and difficulty choices are made when creating that world. Read Worlds and backups before changing an established save.

Protected and unavailable controls

MaximusHost keeps the game port, TShock REST token, and MaximusHost integration settings under system control. They are not customer-editable settings. The dashboard does not currently manage TShock IP whitelist entries or custom TShock account groups and permissions.

The server password is hidden from ordinary settings responses. Use the private reveal control when you need to share it.
