Troubleshooting
If you're having trouble connecting, verify these common issues:
- If you see "only journey characters may enter a journey server" - your character isn't meant for journey mode, or any other game mode same applies
- Ensure your server is running and online in the game panel
- Double-check the IP address and port number are correct
- Verify you have the same version of Terraria as the server
- Check that the server isn't full (default max is 8 players)
- Make sure any server password is entered correctly if required
