tModLoader mod questions
How do I add mods to tModLoader on my Terraria server?
Stop the server, install tModLoader from the Mod Manager, upload the mods to \tmodloader\ModLoader\Mods\ with the File Manager, list each mod by its case-sensitive name in enabled.json under Configuration Files, then start the server.
Why won't my tModLoader server load my mods?
Check enabled.json: each mod needs its correct, case-sensitive name on its own line, in quotes, and the last line must not end with a comma. Also check the mod files are inside \tmodloader\ModLoader\Mods\.
How do I add the Calamity Mod to my server?
Upload the Calamity Mod file to \tmodloader\ModLoader\Mods\ and add "CalamityMod" to enabled.json, as in the example above, then start the server.
