# TShock

TShock provides Terraria servers with server-side characters, anti-cheat, and community management tools. <https://tshock.co/>

## From their GitHub

TShock is a toolbox for Terraria servers and communities. That toolbox is jam packed with anti-cheat tools, server-side characters, groups, permissions, item bans, tons of commands, and limitless potential. It's one of a kind.

## Server Ports

TShock, like Terraria, only requires a single port to run. The default is 7777

| Port    | default |
|---------|---------|
| Game    | 7777    |

### Plugins may require ports to be added to the server.

## Extra Information

If you want to download mods in the console, the startup command has to be changed.

New startup:
`mono TerrariaServer.exe -ip 0.0.0.0 -port {{SERVER_PORT}} -maxplayers {{MAX_PLAYERS}}`

This will remove the autocreate function, and will thus allow you to download mods and generate world.
Afterwards, you can change it back with the correct world name to start automatic. Word name is set in the configuration panel.

Any version older then TShock v5 needs to use the legacy egg, and version newer or v5 must use the normal TShock one.

## Migration from v4 to v5

If you're upgrading from TShock 4, you swith to the new egg copying the tshock configuration folder over (containing the sqlitedb file as well as the json configuration files, etc) to the new server, and starting the new server that way.
