How To Enable tModLoader in To Your Terraria Server
Updated March 27, 2026
Mods are a fantastic way to breathe new life into Terraria, introducing fresh content and features that extend your enjoyment of the game. We recommend using tModLoader as your modding tool of choice — it handles both the client and server sides, making the setup process straightforward.
Enabling tModLoader on Your Server
Your server also needs tModLoader installed in order to run Terraria mods. Fortunately, setting this up on a PingRite server only takes a few clicks.
- Log into your server control panel and stop the server.
- Click tModLoader on the server type menu under the console.
- Read the warning and then continue. Allow the server to boot fully so that all necessary files are generated. Once it's up, stop the server again before continuing.
