This guide will help you on how to access your server files and folders.
Adding Mods to your Server
Mods can generally be found on the Terraria forums. Once you've found a set of mods that you want to use, you'll need to upload these to the /Terraria/ModLoader/Mods folder on your server. These should be in .tmod format.
Enabling Mods
After uploading the mods, you'll need to enable them for use on the server. This is accomplished by using a enabled.json file.
If the folder that contains the mods does not have an 'enabled.json' file in it when the server is started for the first time, TmodLoader will create the file and add every mod that it can load into the file.
Below are instructions on how to manually create the 'enabled.json' file or to edit the file if you wish to add more mods at a later time
Navigate to the following directory on your server: /Terraria/ModLoader/Mods
Once in the mods folder, click the "create file" button above the file manager window. If you simply with to edit an existing file, select "enabled.json" and click the "edit" button in the file manager.
The information in the file needs to be in the format of a JSON array, of the names of the mods that you want to use. The file must begin and end in square brackets. Each mod should have its name in quotes, and if you have more than one line in the file, it must have a comma at the end of each line (except for the last line). When editing a .json format file, the dashboard will alert you if what you have typed does not match the proper syntax. Correct the file until the red alerts disappear.
Below is an example .json file for "enabled.json":
[
"CalamityMod",
"chadsfurn"
]
These mod names should reflect the name of the .tmod files that you uploaded. Linux is case sensitive, so make sure the file name matches exactly (ie, "tremor" is not the same as "Tremor" in linux)
When you are finished editing the file, you must give it a title in the blue box directly above the file manager window (if creating a new file). In this case, you'll want to use enabled.json.
