How to Join a Terraria Server

Connecting to a custom Terraria server is simple. This guide will walk you through the process of joining using the server's IP Address and Port.

Step-by-Step Connection Guide

Launch Terraria from your Steam client.
Select Multiplayer from the main menu, then choose Join via IP.
Select the character you want to play with.
Enter the Server IP Address of your lobby. (e.g. 192.168.1.150 or 127.0.0.1)
Enter the Port number (by default, Terraria uses 7777).
Click Connect and input the server password if one was set.

Always verify that your server is online and running before attempting to connect. You can check the server status page inside your Lobby Maker Dashboard.

If you encounter a Connection Timeout error, ensure that your firewall is not blocking outbound connections on Port 7777 and that you copied the correct IP.
