The config file

Back to index

Each TShock installation automatically generates a configuration file which can edit basic settings when the server starts.

The file "config.json" is located in the tshock folder, in the same directory as TerrariaServer.exe.

Being a JSON file, it is extremely critical that you edit the file in a standard text editor. Use Notepad++ to edit your file, or another text editor used for programming. Before restarting TShock, check the syntax of your file using JSONLint, and verify that it contains no errors.

An example configuration file is below.

"MaxSlots": 64,
