Server Security: Access Control
Public Terraria servers are often targets for griefing and world destruction. Without proper management, a single “Guest” with explosives can ruin hours of collective building. TShock provides advanced banning and “Graylisting” systems to keep your community safe.

Moderation Commands
TShock stores all moderation data in an internal SQLite database. Use these in-game or via console:- /ban [player] [reason]: Bans the specified player’s account.
- /ban addip [IP] [reason]: Blocks the player’s connection entirely via IP address.
- /ban list: Displays a list of currently blocked players.
- /unban [player]: Restores access to a previously banned account.
Graylisting: The “No-Build” Defense
The most effective way to prevent map destruction is to restrict building permissions for new players (Guests) until they are verified.- Restrict Guests: Use the command
/group addperm guest -tshock.world.edit. The minus sign-removes the ability to interact with blocks. - Promote Members: Once you trust a player, promote them to the “default” or “member” group so they can build:
/user group [Player] default.
