How to Install Mods on tModLoader



Terraria is a great game, but after some playtime, you may want new features added! If you're looking to expand your Terraria experience and add new content, you should try installing mods. GGServers offers tModLoader servers, which are a variation of Terraria that can load mods.


❓What is tModLoader ❓



TModLoader is a free tool that lets you install mods on your Terraria client and server. With tModLoader, when players join, they will be prompted directly to install the mods your server is running without the need to manually add them. You can also use the in-game browser to directly install mods.

Here you can find more information about tModLoader on their official page.
