Console, power and troubleshooting

Console and power

Open Server → Console to read runtime output and send server commands. Useful Terraria commands include texthelp, textplaying, textsay Hello, textsave, textkick PlayerName and textexit. Commands available in mods may differ. Do not use Minecraft commands such as textop or textwhitelist expecting Terraria behavior.

Start launches installed software. Stop requests a save and graceful shutdown. Restart stops and starts it. Force stop is a last resort for a stuck runtime and may lose unsaved progress.

Common issues

• Provisioning or installation: wait for the current task; controls unlock when it finishes.
• Cannot join: check that the console reports a listening server, then check the hostname, displayed port, password and exact client version. Disable Cloudflare's proxy for a custom game hostname.
• Version mismatch: Vanilla and tModLoader are separate runtimes. Install the matching client/server version.
• World is missing: stop and check textWorlds, the selected world name and text.wld filename. A modded world also needs its text.twld and mods.
• Mod load failure: review missing dependencies and supported tModLoader release. Restore a known-good backup if needed.
• Node offline: node-dependent actions remain unavailable. Contact support rather than repeatedly queuing actions.
• Task failed: retain its task ID and error when opening a support ticket. Staff can inspect AppLaunch operational error logs and resolve the logged issue after a verified fix.

The development node may use a different CPU architecture from future production nodes. Do not infer production performance from development tests.
