How to Enable Terraria Cross Platform
If you want to enable Terraria Cross Platform between Android and iOS, or between PS4 and PS5, the way is very simple. You just need to utilize the “Multiplayer” option in-game. As for the detailed steps, refer to the Terraria Mobile 1.3 Multiplayer Setup Guide.
If you want to enable the Terraria cross platform between a PC and a mobile device, you need to use TShock, an enhanced Terraria server type, and the plugin called Crossplay. Here is the guide:
Step 1: Download TShock from GitHub and extract the file. You will see the following files.
Step 2: Download the Crossplay plugin from GitHub. Move the Crossplay.dll file to the ServerPlugins folder. Then, run the TerrariaServer.exe file to start TShock. This will open a black window.
Running TShock requires 2GB free RAM, and Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 (on Windows) or Mono 4+ (on Linux/BSD/UNIX derivatives).
Step 3: Set up TShock.
- Enter a number to select a world you want to start the server with. You can select a new world each time you start the server, or generate one if you want.
- Select your desired server port. The default Terraria server port is 7777.
- When the server starts, you’ll see a message that says “To setup the server, join the game and type /setup [number code].” Take note of the number code for future use.
- Launch Terraria and log in to your server.
- Once inside the game, type the setup code noted down before.
- Type “/user add [username] [password] owner” to create an owner account. Replace username and password with your desired username and password, without brackets.
- Log in to your server by using “/login [username] [password]”.
- Type “/setup” to finish the setup.
Remember your account name and password, as you will need to enter them every time you log in to your server.
