A Terraria '''server''' provides a platform for players to connect over the internet or other network for [[multiplayer]] games. Windows installations of Terraria include its server software.

'''Soul of Light''' is a [[Hardmode]] [[crafting material]] dropped by most enemies in the [[Underground Hallow]] with a 1/5 (20%) chance. On an Expert Mode world, this rate is increased to 1/3 (33%). This includes stray enemies not native to the biome, such as [[Goblins]] and other enemies.
−
A server can also be used for standalone single-player gameplay. This offers the ability to adjust the in-game [[time]] at will.
 
   
  +
Crafting all items on the {{desktop version}}, including a full stack of five [[Light Disc]]s, excluding the [[Boss]]-summoning items and Key of Light, requires 98 Soul of Light (89 on console/mobile). One of each Boss-summoning item and a Key of Light requires an additional 24 Soul of Light (14 for console/mobile), for a total of 122 (103 for console/mobile).
−
The downside to using a server (instead of playing in singleplayer or "Host-and-Play" modes) is that although the hosting computer can be a server and play at the same time, there will be a small amount of lag for the hosting computer's gameplay.

The server runs on port 7777 by default, and it must be [http://portforward.com/ port-forwarded] in order for other players be able to join. If one can't portforward, one may choose to use a VPN service like [https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/download.aspx Hamachi] or [https://www.tunngle.net/en/ Tunngle] instead (although in those cases, every player needs to install the VPN software). The default max players is 8, but this can be changed during server start-up, as well as within the server configuration file (serverconfig.txt).

== Server config file ==
  
−
It is possible to start the dedicated server using a configuration file that enters the above parameters automatically. The config file must be called using the -config parameter. The file can have any name, but must be in the same folder as TerrariaServer.exe. If a server config file is defined and the file is not located during the server boot, then the server will ask the user to input the parameters as it would if run without a defined config file.
  
−  
−
The following is a list of available config commands:
  
−  
−
* '''maxplayers=8''' - Sets the max number of players allowed on a server. Value must be between 1 and 255
  
−
* '''world=C:\Users\Defaults\My Documents\My Games\Terraria\Worlds\world1.wld''' - Load a world and automatically start the server.
  
−
* '''port=7777''' - Set the port number
  
−
* '''password=p@55w0rd*''' - Set the server password
  
−
* '''motd=Please don’t cut the purple trees!''' - Set the message of the day
  
−
* '''worldpath=C:\Users\Defaults\My Documents\My Games\Terraria\Worlds\''' - Sets the folder where world files will be stored
  
−
* '''autocreate=3''' - Creates a new world if none is found. World size is specified by: 1(small), 2(medium), and 3(large).
  
−
* '''difficulty=0''' - Sets world difficulty when using -autocreate. Options: 0(normal), 1(expert)
  
−
* '''worldname=World''' - Sets the name of the world when using autocreate
  
−
* '''banlist=banlist.txt''' - The location of the banlist. Defaults to "banlist.txt" in the working directory.
  
−
* '''secure=1''' - Adds additional cheat protection.
  
−
* Item - you can get any item you want that is not banned in the server
  
−  
−
Comment lines can be included using the hash symbol (#). Lines that begin with # will be skipped entirely.
  
−  
−
== Banning and un-banning ==
  
−
The command "ban <player>" will ban the indicated player from the server. A banned player, when he/she tries to login, will be displayed the message:You are banned for [duration]: [reason]- [modname]. A banned player may then be un-banned by editing the file "banlist.txt," which is located in the Terraria folder. This document contains a list of all currently banned players. To un-ban a player, delete the player's name and IP address from the list.
  
−  
−
== System requirements ==
  
−
* Windows Operating System
 
−
* 500 MB free RAM for a small world (RAM depends on world size and number of players)
 
−
* .NET Framework 4.0
  
−
* XNA Framework
  
−  
−
An easy method of installing .NET and XNA is to simply install the Terraria client, which should install both as part of its regular installation.

* Although the tooltip says: 'The essence of light creatures', souls of light can be dropped by any enemy as long as they are in the Underground Hallow biome.
−
* The server will auto-save the world now and then, but will not auto-save on shutdown. You should save manually prior to shutdown.

* Bosses cannot drop Souls of Light.
−
* When you launch a server, it will ask if you want to auto port forward, however this doesn't always work.

* In the {{desktop version}}, Meteor Heads no longer drop souls of light while in the underground Hallow.

* Servers are often set up using [https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/ Hamachi]. This removes the need of having to port-forward, but relies on a third party program.
