Upload and Activate
Establish a connection to the server via SFTP (e.g. via FileZilla or WinSCP). Create a folder called "mods" in the Terraria server directory (usually/home/mods). Upload the downloaded mods (.tmod files) via SFTP to the "mods" folder on your server. Create a new file named "enabled.json" in the "mods" folder on your server. Copy the following text and paste it into the "enabled.json" file:enabled.json Example:
[ "ModName", "ModName" ]Replace all entries with "ModName" with your mod file name (Example: If the mod file is called Calamity then enter this name under ModName.)
-
Start Server
Go back to the dashboard and start your Terraria server. Connect to your server via the Terraria game and check that the mods have been loaded correctly. -
Enable Player Mods
Make sure that all players who want to join your server have the same mods installed and activated so that they can play on the server without any problems.
That's it! With these steps, you should be able to install and use mods on your Terraria: tModloader server.
