Is Terraria Cross Platform?

How to Play Terraria Cross Platform?

Playing on a Terraria server can spark the desire to connect with players on different platforms.

TShock, a specialized modloader for Terraria, provides a solution by enabling a plugin for cross-platform play, allowing players from various devices to join the same server. Setting up crossplay on a Terraria server can seem daunting, especially for first-timers, but this guide simplifies the process for you.
