Install tModLoader Mods

Installing mods on the server

1. Login to your server SFTP.
2. On WinSCP, Click on Options > Preferences. Inside of the Preferences window, click on the Panels section and select Show hidden files (Ctrl-Alt-H).
3. Start the server once so the .local directory is created.
4. On the remote site, navigate inside the .local/share/Terraria/ModLoader/Mods directory.
5. Find the mods on your PC. Load up the game, click on the Workshop button, then on Manage Mods and then on Open Mods Folders. Once you've done so, you'll either see Steam workshop folders or your tModLoader's Mods folder, or both, depending on where you downloaded your mods.
   1. Steam Workshop Mods: In this folder labeled 1281930, there will be a folder for every steam workshop mod (labeled by ID) you have downloaded for tModLoader. Each mod folder will either have a .tmod file or more folders. If there are multiple folders in a single mod's folder, locate the latest .tmod file from the latest folder. You should only have one .tmod file per mod. You can drag the .tmod files into your server's Mods folder mentioned in step 4. Only drag the file, not any other folders.
   2. tModLoader Mods: In this folder labeled Mods, you will simply see a bunch of .tmod files. Drag the ones you need into your server's Mods folder mentioned in step 4.
      Note: tModLoader should sync the mods with players that connect, so your friends do not have to install them to their clients manually, as long as they are running the same version of tModLoader.

2. m to go into the menu then e to enable of your mods. r Will return you to the world menu for you to continue to load your server like normal.

Server Crashing

If your server crashes when trying to load mods double check and make sure that all the mods have been updated as of recent. Older mods may not work on newer versions of Tmod and can possibly cause crashing issues. If your server is crashing and you're using an older mod try disabling those mods first to see if the server will load with out it.
