How to Connect to a Terraria Server

Open Dashboard → Servers, choose Manage on your server, and find Connection. Use IPv4 for the game’s IP/address box. For its port box, use the number after : in Address.

Connect

1. Launch Terraria and select Multiplayer → Join via IP.
2. Choose your character.
3. Enter the IPv4, then enter the port from Jovian when asked.
4. Enter the server password if prompted.

Invite friends

Share the IPv4, port, and player password, if set. Tell friends the game version and whether the server requires a separate modded client.

If you cannot join

Check that you are using the same edition and version as the server. Terraria and tModLoader are different clients; do not switch between them unless the owner confirms the server supports that client.

Still stuck? Check the server’s status in Jovian, allow startup time, then contact Support with its ID and the error message.
