# How to join your Terraria server

To join your Terraria server you need three things from the panel: its IP address, its port and, if it has one, its password. Then you join from Terraria with **Join via IP**. This works on PC and on mobile.

## Find your server's IP and port

1. Go to [panel.fps.ms](https://panel.fps.ms). Your dashboard lists your servers.
2. Find your Terraria server. If it does not show **Online**, click **Start** and wait until it does.
3. Click **Manage**.

4. The **Console** page opens. Under your server's name you see its address, for example `mango.fps.ms:10051`.

![The top of the Console page with the address mango.fps.ms:10051 highlighted](https://assets.docs.fps.ms/terraria/joining-your-terraria-server/02-find-address-and-port-e254da67.webp)

Terraria asks for the IP and the port separately. Split the address at the `:`.

| Part | Example | Where you type it in Terraria |
|-|-|-|
| IP address | `mango.fps.ms` | **Enter Server IP Address:** |
| Port | `10051` | **Enter Server Port:** |

!!! info "Your address is your own" "The first part is the name of the machine your server runs on, so yours may not start with `mango`. The port is not Terraria's usual `7777`. Always use the address from your own Console page."

## Check your server's password

Your server only asks for a password if it has one. Where you find it depends on the server type you picked:

| Server type | Setting on the Startup page | Default |
|-|-|-|
| Terraria Vanilla | **Password** | Empty, so no password |
| tModLoader | **Server Password** is shown, but your server does not use it | No password |
| TShock | No password setting | No password. TShock uses in-game accounts instead, see [Setup your TShock server](https://fps.ms/docs/terraria/setup-your-tshock-server.md) |

The steps below are for Terraria Vanilla.

To see or change the password:

1. On your server's page, click **More** in the top bar.
2. Click **Startup**.

![The More menu open with Startup highlighted](https://assets.docs.fps.ms/terraria/joining-your-terraria-server/03-open-startup-439cd5f0.webp)

3. Scroll to **Password**. This box holds your server's password.

4. To set or change the password, type it in the box. The panel saves it by itself a moment after you stop typing. There is no save button.
5. Click **Console** in the top bar, then click **Restart**. Your server only reads the new password when it starts.

!!! note "Removing the password" "Empty the box and restart your server. Players can then join without a password."

## Join from Terraria on PC

1. Start Terraria and click **Multiplayer**.
2. Click **Join via IP**.
3. Pick the character you want to play with.
4. At **Enter Server IP Address:**, type the IP part of your address, for example `mango.fps.ms`. Click **Accept**.
5. At **Enter Server Port:**, type the port, for example `10051`. Click **Accept**.
6. If your server has a password, Terraria shows **Enter Server Password:**. Type it and click **Accept**.

Terraria saves the servers you played on under **Join via IP**, so next time you can pick your server from that list.

!!! tip "Joining a tModLoader server" "Open the tModLoader client instead of plain Terraria, then follow the same steps. To get the same mods as your server, see [Setup your tModLoader server](https://fps.ms/docs/terraria/setup-your-tmodloader-server.md)."

## Join from Terraria on mobile

1. Open Terraria and tap **Multiplayer**.
2. Pick the character you want to play with.
3. Tap **Online**.
4. Add your server: type the IP part of your address (for example `mango.fps.ms`) and the port (for example `10051`).
5. Tap your server in the list to join. If it has a password, type it when the game asks.

!!! info "Consoles" "Terraria on PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch cannot join your server yet. PC and mobile players can play together on it."

## Can't join?

- **The server is not online.** Check that your server shows **Online** on the dashboard. If not, click **Start** and wait.
- **The IP box has the port in it.** Type only `mango.fps.ms` (your own IP) at **Enter Server IP Address:**, and the numbers after the `:` at **Enter Server Port:**.
- **You used port 7777.** Use the port from your Console page.
- **Terraria says "Incorrect password".** Check the password on the **Startup** page. If you changed it, restart your server.
- **Terraria says "You are not using the same version as this server."** Your game and your server run different Terraria versions. Update your game, or see [Update your Terraria Server](https://fps.ms/docs/terraria/update-your-terraria-server.md).

Still stuck? Work through [Can't connect to my server](https://fps.ms/docs/troubleshooting/cant-connect-to-my-server.md).
