Server

The server software of Terraria is run in the game itself. To run a server, an user must run TerrariaServer.exe. A player then may join the server from game menu, choosing Multiplayer.

The server runs on port 7777 by default and it must be portforwarded in order for other players be able to join. The default number of max players is 8. This can be changed during server startup and in the server configuration (serverconfig.txt).

Features
A player drag the sun or the moon over the sky to change the in-game time of the server world. The server will auto-save the world now and then. A password can be customized for the server.
