How to Host an Online Terraria Server Mobile

Hello Dev, welcome to our guide on how to host an online Terraria server on mobile devices. If you’re looking to play with your friends or host a public server, this article will provide you with all the necessary steps to get started. We’ll cover everything from setting up the server to troubleshooting common issues that may arise. So, let’s dive in.

Step 1: Downloading the Mobile Terraria Server App

The first step to hosting your own Terraria server is to download the dedicated mobile server app. The app is available for free on both iOS and Android devices. You can download the app by searching for “Terraria Server” in the App Store or Play Store.

Once you’ve downloaded and installed the app, you can launch it to begin setting up your server.

Step 1.1: Creating a Server

When you first launch the mobile Terraria server app, you’ll be prompted to create a new server. Simply enter a name for your server and select the world and difficulty settings that you want to use. You can also choose to enable or disable PvP and set a password for your server.

Once you’ve configured your settings, click the “Create Server” button to start your server. It may take a few minutes for the server to start up, so be patient.

Step 1.2: Configuring Server Settings

After your server is up and running, you can configure additional settings by clicking on the “Settings” button in the main menu. Here, you can adjust a variety of settings, including player limits, time settings, and more.

It’s important to note that if you want your server to be accessible to players outside of your local network, you’ll need to configure port forwarding on your router. Instructions for doing so will vary based on your router model and software, so consult your router’s manual or online support resources for guidance.

Step 2: Inviting Players to Your Server

Once your server is up and running, you can invite players to join by sharing your server’s IP address and port number. To find your server’s IP address, simply click on the “Info” button in the main menu.

To invite players, simply share your IP address and port number with them. They can then enter this information into the “Join via IP” option in the game’s multiplayer menu. If you’ve set a password for your server, be sure to share that with them as well.

Step 3: Troubleshooting Common Issues

While hosting an online Terraria server can be a lot of fun, it’s not always a smooth process. Here are some common issues that you may encounter, along with tips for resolving them.

Problem 1: Server Won’t Start

If your server won’t start, make sure that you’ve configured your settings correctly and that you’re using the latest version of the mobile Terraria server app. If you’re still having trouble, try restarting the app and/or your device.

Problem 2: Can’t Connect to the Server

If players are having trouble connecting to your server, make sure that you’ve set up port forwarding correctly and that your server is running on the correct port. You may also want to try restarting your router.

Problem 3: Lag or Connection Issues

If players are experiencing lag or connection issues, make sure that their devices are up-to-date and that their internet connections are stable. You may also want to adjust server settings to reduce the load on the server.
