Terraria Server Console Commands and Admin (Full List)

Vanilla Terraria has no in-game admin or operator rank. You manage the server by typing commands into the server console, which is the Console page in the FREAKHOSTING Game Panel. Commands have no leading slash: type kick PlayerName, ban PlayerName, save, exit or dawn. Type help to list them all. For in-game admin commands you need TShock.

Do console changes last?

password and motd changes only last until the next start. Our server writes the Startup values into serverconfig.txt every time it starts. To keep a change, save it in Game settings. See server settings explained.

How to get admin commands in game

Vanilla Terraria has no way to give a player admin rights in the game. If you need in-game commands, groups and permissions, that is what TShock adds. Your server runs vanilla Terraria, so see install TShock for how to get it. To let a friend manage the server, add them as a sub-user in the panel with Users so they can use the Console.

Frequently asked questions

​

How do I make myself admin on a Terraria server?

There is no admin rank in vanilla. You are in control through the panel Console. In-game admin needs TShock.

​

Why does my command do nothing in game chat?

Server commands work in the console, not in game chat. Type them in the panel Console without a slash.

​

How do I unban a player?

Remove their line from banlist.txt. See bans and guests.

​

Can I spawn items or bosses with a command?

Not in vanilla Terraria. Journey mode lets players duplicate researched items, and TShock adds commands such as /give and /spawnboss.
